"Directions" is a growing series of mail-able sculptures that Ferraro began in 2011. Each piece incorporates mailing addresses, postage, shipping labels, and installation instructions as integral visual elements. Works are exhibited as they arrive by mail and assembled on-site in response to the architecture of the gallery, creating a site-specific installation unique to each venue.
With each new exhibition, Ferraro adds five to 10 newly created pieces that are mailed individually to the host gallery, while earlier works are transported by the artist. The process allows viewers to trace the physical journey of the artwork and, in many cases, identify when and where individual pieces traveled. The exhibition includes more than 200 works created over 14 years.
