Vittoria Di Stefano’s sculpture practice foregrounds material investigation as a methodology for exploring themes of precarity, the uncanny, transformation and desire, with a particular emphasis on domestic space and intimate materiality. Through a diverse material palette, and often drawing on historical and cultural touchstones as points of departure, the artist uses liminality as a strategy to critique and challenge traditional power structures and notions of value. Her work examines how materials and domestic objects can hold emotional, historical and cultural residues, transforming sculpture into a space where personal histories and broader social structures are continually unsettled and reimagined.
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.
