Gina Napolitan-Witz

 

Sculptor and filmmaker Gina Napolitan-Witz  was born and raised in Brockton, where  she spent much of her time dumpster diving and exploring the various abandoned spaces in the city. Having worked on a large scale for many years, she now prefers to create small, articulated objects, mainly for the purpose  of filming, and draws on sources such as natural history and alchemical texts for inspiration. After graduating from Massachusetts College of Art in 2003, Gina moved to New Jersey where she currently resides with her husband and bunny. She is not terribly fond of the way parts of the turnpike smell.
