STATEMENT OF WORK

‘It was – she told me – as if, on the night of a full moon over the sea, the intense black mass of a storm advanced across the sky, swallowing every light, eroding the circumference of the moon’s circle, and disfiguring the shining disk, reducing it to its true nature of rough insensate material.’ -Elena Ferrante

Referencing sacred geometry and mathematics, Kerri Ammirata’s paintings dissolve boundaries and disintegrate shapes into hypnotic, rhythmic marks. Ammirata looks skyward, using celestial forms to ground emotional states. She renders cosmic bodies—suns, moons, and planets—as meditative fields of color and gesture. Her works invite the viewer into an intimate, spiritual cosmos. In Radiate, the architecture of a proton radiation room becomes a luminous, abstract sanctuary—transforming the clinical setting of her breast cancer treatment into a space of healing and transcendence. Hope & Grief grapples with the dualities of living through chemotherapy, its softly glowing orbs offer both light and shadow, joy and sorrow. Ammirata’s paintings channel sacred geometry and the energy of mandalas, becoming devotional acts—prayers inscribed through color, form, and touch.
