Sean Savage Ferrari

Seán Savage Ferrari sculpts the textures of landscapes, weaving together craft, found objects, and organic matter into evocative, memory-laden forms. He assembles materials from both urban and rural environments, merging natural and cultural elements to create sculptural works that carry personal and collective memories. Central to his approach is assemblage, where soil, leaves, wheat stems, and discarded materials are combined with handmade papers and reclaimed wood. These compositions explore the relationship between memory and materiality, bridging the tangible and intangible while inviting reflection on the connections between self and surroundings. Ferrari’s work often incorporates processes of transformation and decay, inspired by his experiences in the Amazon rainforest, where works were left to reintegrate into the landscape. Through this practice, he emphasizes cycles of reuse, ecological awareness, and the interplay between human activity and the natural world. By blending traditional craft with contemporary methods, Savage Ferrari constructs tactile, immersive environments that encourage contemplation, highlighting the dynamic relationships between material, memory, and the ecological communities in which they exist. ...
