Anthony Angelilli

These processes influenced his artistic approach to making, as he experiments using particular strategies to acquire specific textures, colors, and lines. He is also fascinated by the way information is retrieved, and how visual, and verbal language constantly influences human’s indexical mark in correlation with technology, and memory.

From a young age, Genna has been involved in visual art and attended a school for the visual arts to help hone her skills and encourage her love for art history. “Learning about different cultures’ styles and stories always has me longing for more; my cravings for cultural history are insatiable so it’s especially nice to be in a work environment where I can learn about artists of different backgrounds. For me, this goes hand in hand with my chosen field of study. As American Sign Language is the 3D language – it’s like looking at a piece of art when someone signs!”
