Art expresses and organizes life.

A convivial Sunday gathering where artists and art lovers come together around two artworks. An informal and intimate encounter with art—slow, conversational, and rooted in the experience of a domestic setting. When a home becomes part of the lived experience of art. I would love to see you. Paolo Piscitelli

The works will remain on view by appointment through Sunday, June 14. Please contact Michael Morrill or Paolo Piscitelli to schedule a visit.

Two Works on Sunday is a recurring series hosted in a residence and studio in Bloomfield, where one of Paolo Piscitelli’s sculptures is placed in dialogue with a work by an invited artist.

Clepsydra (2026) Onyx: H. 12.8 cm. – 5 in.

This sculpture refers to the ancient device for observing temporal flow, transforming it into a tactile, enduring object that does not measure time but suggests its presence through material stillness—presenting the paradox in which quiet flow becomes stillness.

GilbertsculptoriumGeorgiliform (2020) New golden alabaster and patinated bronze: L. 15.5 cm. – 6.1 in.

Shit as first sculpture, as a foundational act.
GilbertsculptoriumGeorgiliform designates sculpture as a primary bodily production in which waste is not metaphor but origin, preceding intention, authorship, and culture.
Form is inevitable. Sculpture occurs.

Hedone (2026) Indian Black Soapstone: L. 14.5 cm – 5.7 in.

Hedone is an abstract, biomorphic sculpture whose organic mass of rounded lobes is crossed by a delicate, decorative, necklace- or bracelet-like string of small beads, defining a subtle border that gently separates different faces of the same matter. 

The size, texture, and solidity of the sculpture invite touch, conveying a paradox of pleasure through stillness and containment. Rather than exuberance, it suggests a deep, inward pleasure—one that is private, tactile, and contemplative, aligned with the classical meaning of “hedone” as embodied sensation.
