AmberRose Tortorelli
Constantly risking absurdity, as American poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti put it, is a great way to describe the Clown Princess of Worcester, AmberRose ToiletFire Tortorelli.
Although her primary focus is in the visual arts, this jester is a far cry from a one-trick pony. She is also a musician, poet, photographer, filmmaker/videographer, theatre director and model. Tortorelli never does anything by half-measures. Among her numerous paintings and sculptures some of her current projects include the release of her next book of poetry titled "Cigarettes and Suffragettes," filming a stop-motion short feature, writing scripts for her theatre troupe, "Drunk in a Toy Store and Out of Tampons with Aarne, Thompson and Kurt Cobain," and the release of her band Sapling's latest album, The Apocalypse Musical. "My intentions," says Tortorelli, "are to create art that focuses on truth rather than what is perceived as conventionally beautiful. I strive to make visually and conceptually challenging socially-conscious art. My nature challenges convention. I set it on fire, hex it, drag it through the mud, defenestrate it, and cut off its head."
