Shirley Ceravolo is an interdisciplinary artist based in Montreal, QC, Canada. Her long-sustained curiosity about the nature, structure and the materiality of the universe has led her practice to primarily revolve around making artistic inquiries into astrophysical concepts, from the micro to macro. With a focus on fibres, sculpture, installation and photography, Ceravolo is interested in how making art can be a method of astronomical observation. Her current research interests are cosmology, the early universe, time and our cosmic origins. Ongoing research into these topics has led her to work primarily with retroreflective materials, ribbon, sound waves, and granulated matter.

Ceravolo holds an Undergraduate degree in Fibres and Material Practices from Concordia University and has recently exhibited at InterAccess (Toronto) and at Art Mûr (Montreal).
