Patricia Pisanelli works mainly with painting and sculpture - and the space where they collide. Exaggerated manipulations in language are her main research. Food is her vehicle.
 
She uses the aesthetic of processed food products to analyze ideas of attempt and failure - and the notion or perfection that can never be reached. Considering thoughts on simulacrum, where the copy of the copy looses its origin, those products have now a narrative projected onto themselves, like a nostalgia for an unrecognized past.
 
Through ideas on misinterpretation and absurdity, like moments of confusion one experiences when trying to read an image or an object, Patricia uses the manipulation of food and the manipulation of materials in the same way, pointing at the exaggerated aesthetics of industrialized products and as an exercise of abstracting from it at the same time.
