Marc SAVOIA
Marc Savoia is a first generation Australian artist whose practice explores a wide array of media, from collage and sculpture to video and sound. Underpinning Marc’s work is a desire to find personal meaning and identity in a morass of popular culture, both retro and contemporary, through the sourcing, breaking down and recontextualising of miscellaneous objects or images. Recent works explore concepts regarding material and assemblage. Sculptures incorporating discarded objects, furniture parts and natural ephemera challenge post-colonial notions of ornamentation. Installations combining synthetic and organic materials hover like hanging gardens. Collages blend innocent nostalgia with a subversive exploration of identity through the use of vintage magazines, books and greeting cards, repurposed to challenge conventional notions of sexuality and gender. In his video work, the pairing of movement with digitised sound explores masculinity and what it might sound like.
