Stones become living art in the conceptual sculptures of Arte Povera artist Giovanni Anselmo, whose work explores themes of time, nature and transformation. Sassi emulates an interplay of natural elements with a dimensional weave of rich wools, cotton, and silk.
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.
