The In and Outsiders
February 8 – March 30, 2014
about the artist | watch artists’ talk
The In and Outsiders explores formally trained artist Thomas (Tom) Miller’s (1945-2000) brightly colored “Afro-Deco” painted furniture pieces and silkscreen prints, and self-taught artists Anderson (Andy) Pigatt’s (1928-2009) evocative sculptures and Elizabeth T. Scott’s (1916-2011) richly embellished quilts. Their works are inspired by folklore, imagination and memory, woven around material cultural and social commentary and rooted in the deep-seated tradition of storytelling through art making.
