Experimental artist Piero Manzoni was renowned for his clay constructions that incorporated unorthodox materials like wool, fur and even bread rolls into a textural canvas. Taking inspiration from Manzoni’s graphic forms, Rotolo makes a monochromatic statement with a rich combination of contrasting wools and mouliné yarn.
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.
