About
Phyllis Famiglietti finds magic in found objects…“they contain a certain type of energy from a previous life”. Wires, springs, hinges, switches, homeless pieces that once belonged to something or someone, somewhere at sometime, have filled many of her drawers and cabinets for years. With both pathos and humor, she combines and assembles these objects to create small 3D pieces. Her work speaks to aging, decay and abandonment, but at the same time reveals an optimism and an ulterior beauty. An award winning video editor, filmmaker and collagist, Phyllis has exhibited in numerous galleries in New York and New England. After forty years in NYC, she now lives and works in Boston.
