Portraits of Women With Their Weight In Dough is an on-going photographic and video series inviting women from diverse backgrounds, to labor in the creation of and to pose with, their weight in dough over a two hour time frame. In 2019 the project was supported by the City of Chicago, Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events, Individual Artist Program 2019 Grant.
Amato has been awarded a 2023 New York State Council on the Arts, Individual Artist Grant and plans to create new portraits in this ongoing series.
