Artist Statement:
Amelio’s practice pulls from their experiences working as a first responder. Amelio is fascinated
by people in situ, and they search for ways in which irony and humor serve as earnest
depictions of the human condition. In moments of chaos, the southern “bless-yer-heart”
social script is torn away, revealing a soft and vulnerable core–like a clam split open. Amelio’s
work is fueled by a desire to capture the idiosyncrasies born from their brief entropic
meetings with total strangers.
