Angela Zam­marelli has been doing sketches. Not paper sketches, but ones of the 3D vari­ety. They are for a new body of work titled “All the Trap­pings”. I’m really excited to see where this series is headed.

Angela has assem­bled shadow boxes that is a com­bi­na­tion of 3D mate­ri­als and paint­ing and col­lage directly on the boxes. It’s an inter­est­ing notion what these boxes mean exactly. Some are rem­i­nis­cent of memo­ri­als, or even a cof­fin, while oth­ers are a habi­tat of crea­tures and other growth, nearly the oppo­site of a final rest­ing place.

The ori­en­ta­tion of the boxes, with them fac­ing out towards us on the wall is inter­est­ing choice, and skews their mean­ing to me all the bit more.
