Statement

Macellaio is interested in the physical world resulting in dynamic installations in unexpected materials. Forms are reinterpreted as the artist looks at, reacts to, and contemplates nuance in nature. Macellaio finds disgust, interest, and intrigue within the world of insects. She interprets life cycle, chaotic balance, adaptation, and the significance of arthropods in every aspect of life. Understanding how simple entities can be complex in their reproduction and honoring the prevailing ways of nature, creating significance in scenarios that are always occurring, but rarely celebrated, revealing a stunning vocabulary of forms and ideas.
