Angela Caporaso


Angela Caporaso is an Italian artist focusing on visual poetry, mail art and artists books, working with the mediums of collage, trash-art and, more recently, digital formats.Since her first exhibitions, which date back to the eighties, Angela has revealed a constant strain towards new expressive languages.  This constant research has led her to contaminate sign with colour, font with image, literature with painting, as though one single medium was not sufficient to express her complex imaginative world.

Bill DiMichele



Little is known of the life of Bill DiMichele, the apocryphal painter/poet/musician of the early 21st century.  He studied quantum physics with Feynman and religion with Zoroaster and Akiva.  Legends tell of him learning sand painting from the Native American shamans on the high banks of the Monongahela River.  On snow-covered mountains he contemplated the emerald tablet of Hermes, discovering the significance of the saying “as above so below”.  This is the principle that guided his work from 1975 to 2025.

  1. I've been collecting knives since I was a teen, with my dad gifting me with my first Swiss knife that I still have to this day. I'm pleased with the amount of excellent pocket knives we have today, and it's loaded with remarkable features while being affordable, as well. The Victorinox Swiss Army knife is still my favorite, along with the Benchmade Knife and the Kershaw Leek.
