Santina Amato is a Brooklyn based multidisciplinary artist who was born in Australia to Italian immigrants. Her work incorporates photography, sculpture, site specific installations, performance and painting using ephemeral domestic materials such as bread dough, fresh fruit and vegetables, and bed sheets to create work that seem familiar yet uncannily dissociated from their original context and use. She is a Graduate of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and has held the position of artist in residence at MOCA Tucson in Arizona, MASS MoCA in Massachusetts, Crosstown Arts in Memphis and CharNorth in Pine Plaines, New York. Amato has exhibited her work both nationally and internationally and has been supported by the Illinois Arts Council Agency, the City of Chicago’s Department of Cultural Affairs & Special Events and the Australian Council for the Arts.
