About The Work
Agati’s sweeping curves and interweaving lines are reminiscent of Italian Baroque architectural ornamentation and the time-honored lace making traditions of Sicily. Her mixed media works include handmade pigments on paper, sealed for surface protection, and mounted on panel. A French cleat is attached to the back for installation, and there is no need for additional framing.
Agati was born and raised in upstate NY. She relocated to Philadelphia with a BFA from Alfred University, School of Art & Design. Agati earned her MFA in 2007 from the University of The Arts, Philadelphia. She currently resides and maintains an active studio practice in close proximity to the wooded area of Fairmount Park in Philadelphia, which along with the contrasting city streets, offer an abundance of source material. Agati has exhibited her work throughout Philadelphia and nationally in a range of mediums from drawing, textile and sculpture to site-specific installations and public art. She has been a recipient of a Windows of Opportunity Award from the Leeway Foundation and has had artist residencies at the Santa Fe Art Institute, New Mexico; Lo Studio dei Nipoti, Calabria, Italy; and at Main & Station, Nova Scotia. As a recent Tending Space Fellow, Agati has been exploring the practice of mindfulness meditation in relation to her art making process.
