In the early 80's he abandoned the traditional paper based photograph, Mr. Maggiotto began to print his work on large plates of plaster, a true departure from the precious, intimate realm of the SX-70's three inch square. As in the earlier work he takes the imagery from television. An on-going exploration into the memory of mediated experience, the imagery follows heroes, thieves, women in need…the gamut of lives not lived but watched. This productive time was capped by his first one-person show at Laurence Miller Gallery in Soho.

Living near one of New York's premiere marble yards led to this current body of work. Marble is a metamorphic rock, natural forces change it from its original form to its present state. Mr. Maggiotto changes the meaning of images he finds in one context, and recombines them into another. The work has presently progressed to a series of images based on cultural clues. Choosing iconography from the dining room scenes of television and film he photographs cultural symbols of civility, stemware, silver serviceand folded linen.

The most recent work now explores the American facination with the automobile, as sculptural object, image and sign.
