Adam Frezza & Terri Chiao are an American artist duo whose work explores play and craft across a range of media, including painted sculpture, installation, collage and photography.
Paper Plants examines the tension between nature and artifice made tangible in the cultivation of plants. Inspired by the parallels between horticulture and art-making, the paper plants stem from a natural desire to control and beautify that which could be considered wild.
Created through various paper-building techniques, brightly painted sculptures of fictional plant forms are further flattened into sculptural illustrations through the photo lens.
Also known as CHIAOZZA (pronounced like “wowza” or “yowza”), Adam and Terri have exhibited their collaborative work in solo exhibitions in New York and Philadelphia, in numerous group shows around the US, and in a variety of art and design venues internationally. The studio was founded in 2011 and is based in New York City.
