Stacy Latt Savage
“Flux”
Steel and wood
Stacy Latt Savage is a sculptor who works across mediums endlessly searching for answers to the “big questions” through a studio practice signified by a love of making, an enchantment with idiosyncratic combinations and a devotion to process and visual discovery. Her sculptures reflect a cultural anxiety and a vibrating unease, that she believes are the by-products of our rapid-paced, media-saturated, and turbulent culture. In Flux, a globe sits amidst a spine that runs from order to chaos. The 500 steel rings that make up the globe represent the ‘whole is greater than the sum of its parts’ and the feeling that we are culturally pulled toward disorder and polarization, when what we desire is peace.
Savage is a Professor of Art and Design: Sculpture at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. She exhibits her work nationally and regionally in a variety of venues including museums, galleries, and public outdoor settings. Savage maintains a commitment to collaboration and community which have led to numerous public commissions as well as curatorial and community-engaged projects.
