Sulfur Studios is pleased to present Somewhere Along the Continuum, an installation by maker, teacher, and explorer Matt Toole. Toole’s sculptures are actual objects found in the Low Country of Savannah, GA. They are parts of a larger environmental collective that people have been drawn to for millennia. Organisms that grow and thrive in Savannah, as well as objects from the industrial components of our city, are represented in these works of art. Matt Toole’s Somewhere Along the Continuum will speak to a creative environmental consciousness and will be on display through the end of May.
Matt Toole grew up around the barrier islands and salt marshes of Savannah, Georgia. He received a BFA from Georgia Southern University in 1994 and an MFA from Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville in 2000. Toole has since been a resident artist at the Scottish Sculpture Workshop in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, The John Michael Kohler Art’s Center in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and Franconia Sculpture Park near Minneapolis/St Paul, Minnesota. He has traveled throughout the U.S., U.K., Latvia, and Ireland collaborating on cast iron projects and creating performances dealing with the process of casting metal. Mr. Toole has been involved with the International Conference on Contemporary Cast Iron Art since 1997. He was formerly a professor of Foundation Studies and Sculpture at the Savannah College of Art and Design from 2005 until 2016. He is now the owner of Toole Sculpture Works, LLC and lead instructor at Toole Skool in Savannah, GA.
Somewhere Along the Continuum will be on display in our ON::View Pop Up Gallery from April 1st through May 31st, 2021, and can be seen any time of day or night in our Bull Street windows. Work from this exhibition will be available for sale on our website: www.sulfurstudios.org/matt-toole
