The gestural slash paintings of Argentinian artist Lucio Fontana blurred the lines between painting and sculpture. Lacero makes a conceptual statement with a graphic motif of plied yarns against contrasting fields of multi-felted merino and undyed wool.
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.
