Created while AIR at 4Heads Portal, Governors Island, New York, NY, this series places domestic furniture in direct conversation with a bio-morphic, organic shape made from domestic materials such as recycled household junk mail, garbage bags, flour, and glue. The sculptures reflect on a our world that was reduced to the confines of our domestic environment due to the pandemic, where boundaries of work and personal spaces became blurred.
Amato has been awarded a 2023 New Work Grant, by the Queens Arts Fund, NY, USA to develop new work in this series.
