Before I Wake

Public Reception  | October 15 from 4:00–6:00 pm
Exhibition on view October 14-18



Before I Wake focuses on memories, the passing of time, nostalgia, dreams, and nightmares. The work consists of a series of film and digital self-portraits, staged situations, and in-camera double exposures. Each photo invites the viewer to step into an alternate reality, bring them back to a forgotten moment, or evoke a sense of nostalgia, anxiety, or isolation through the use of familiar settings/objects, empty spaces, and color. Fueled by the fear of forgetting, memories changing with time, and the significance of dreams and nightmares, Before I Wake is a reflection of Gioiello’s personal experiences and dream journal entries.

I always aim to confuse people. At least artistically. I want you to have a feeling that you will remember. I make sculptures to communicate my observations of the world and my philosophical musings through the layers of meanings contained in and around the objects I create. I choose surprising or bizarre forms for my sculptures that at first seem to differ from my intended message or concept. I want to spark thought and exploration in my audience, to poke them and confuse them just enough to tip them over the edge of the philosophical rabbit hole. Now stop reading, go look at art, and remember you aren’t done learning.

The Shape of Color

Public Reception  | October 15 from 4:00–6:00 pm
Exhibition on view October 14-18



Intention and interpretation. I strive to explore color in different forms. Creating works that have an intuitive guidance which allows viewers to pause, feel and interpret on their own. Each painting is an experimental take with a minimal and clean approach. A visual experience where simplicity is expressed and understanding that color can shape an individual’s perception.
