Finding the blessings in disguise
This short documentary follows artist Trey Abdella as he smashes cherub angels and assembles a new body of work inspired by the idea of a “blessing in disguise.” Reflecting on his childhood in West Virginia and the repulsive allure of theme parks and Americana, Trey invites us into the memories that drive an artistic practice fusing painting, sculpture, and assemblage into bold, inventive, and deeply personal works.
