Vittoria Di Stefano’s sculptural practice employs a methodology of generative material experimentation to explore themes around liminality, the uncanny, transformation and desire, with a particular emphasis on domestic space and intimate materiality. Through the employment of a diverse material palette, and often using art history, design or film as points of departure, the artist will employ a feminist lens to critique and challenge historical power structures and notions of value. The psychological and affective impacts of the material encounter are explored through a range of experiments in a variety of display contexts, offering new ways of contemplating and experiencing material realities.
Di Stefano has taken part in numerous solo and group exhibitions nationally and lectures in Art History & Theory and Sculpture Studio at RMIT University, Melbourne.
