For Savannah artist Matt Toole, the materials we encounter can hold histories of their own. Through sculpture, found objects, and metalwork, Toole explores how overlooked materials can be reimagined, transformed, and given new meaning.

Raised around Savannah’s barrier islands and salt marshes, Toole brings a connection to the coastal landscape alongside an artistic practice shaped by making, experimentation, and storytelling. His work spans contemporary sculpture and collaborative metal-casting projects, with experience working alongside artists across the United States and abroad.

This November, Toole joins the lineup of visionary Savannah artists featured in Celestial Seafarers: Voyage of the Seven Seas at Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum.

Through light, sound, and contemporary art, this year's event invites visitors to explore the mystery of the sea and imagine new ways of experiencing the world around us.

Guests will have the opportunity to watch him at work, learn about his techniques, and get a first look at the artistic vision behind his upcoming exhibition, The Voyage, opening in May 2027.
