Gowanus Open Studios

this weekend!

This week I’ve been getting ready rearranging my studio (for some reason, I’ve had this shelf up that blocks the door from fully opening, and now that people will be coming, I can’t live like this) and hanging work and just generally getting ready for Open Studios this weekend.

Come see this fake plant outside my studio which I always think is a person sitting on the couch. Every time!!

If you’re in New York and want to swing by, I’m at Trestle Art Space, 62 18th Street, on the 2nd floor, studio 13!

Also, I was featured on a curated studio tour list selected by the editor in chief/founder of Hyperallergic, Hrag Vartanian, who describes my work:

Madeline Zappala creates lovely cyanotype and collage images that look like they toy with the idea of forbidden knowledge and secrets. The resulting works feel intimate and personal.

Really nice to be seen this way, to know that these things are coming across in my work.
