Nature becomes art in the conceptual sculptures of Arte Povera protagonist Giuseppe Penone, whose work uses gestures to alter natural forms. Albero creates a gestural motif using twisted wool plied with linen over a blend of cotton and merino wool yarns.
Inspired by the Italian movement of the 1960s, Arte Povera is a meditation on voice—how ordinary materials become expressive through care, intention, and collaboration. Created with Merida Studio, the series reflects Sylvie Johnson’s belief that meaning is never fixed: each limited-edition piece is an evolving conversation between artist, material, and maker. Beauty is found not only in the final form, but in the act of making itself.
