I was at Art in the Open walking by the Schuylkill toward the Waterworks when I saw a woman working on this interesting piece
“How cool,” I thought. I went to get a closer look. . .
and met the artist, Dolores Poacelli. She told me the piece was composed of discarded aluminum printers plates she found in the trash. “I’m a dumpster diver,” she said, ” and my studio is in the Italian Market.” That’s all I had to hear to feel a connection. But there was something else that attracted me to her work. What?

The unifying factor in her body of work is an ongoing exploration of the relationship between color, shape, texture, space and tension. Her exploration of these elements, while subtle and nuanced, animates the monochromatic piece and makes it interesting. Want to see more? Her web site is full of compositions where she studies these relationships in metal, paper, collage, paint and mixed media. Take a look! Press here to see more of Poacelli’s work.
