CV
Sara Ravelli (1993, Crema, Italy) lives and works in Milan. She works between sculpture, installation and writing, questioning the sentimental charge of objects and the tension between care and compromised functionality. In her practice, domestic and technical materials are used in an artisanal manner, assembled conceptually and emotionally.
