Scott said.Scott is showing both drawings and sculptures at the exhibit.
The drawings are made of white satin I made them by rubbing the imprint of large subway gratings that are on the sidewalk all over New York City onto the fabric she said.
Scott then embellished the drawings with objects she found like fur and ribbons and said that she thinks of the drawings as her love letters to New York.
If you dropped out of a helicopter you would know you were in New York when you look at the sidewalk because of the grates. I just got really entranced by them
and I wanted to make something that was inspired by this strange and beautiful object in a strange and beautiful city
she said.
Minelli, a professional artist from Los Angeles, also contributed very personal works to the exhibit.
I think everyone's art is (a self-portrait) to a certain extent. It is more about how to decipher a certain terrain between that private life and public culture and finding ways that they overlap each other and intersect
he said.
Minelli's drawings resemble large maps in the way that they connect photos to other pictures representing the thoughts and feelings that the photos produced.
I was trying to figure out what about the images was important to me
so I archived all them and then tried to write what I found interesting or provocative about the images. Those drawings specifically are a landscape of thinking for me
he said.
Minelli said that the exhibit is an opportunity for people to come and make a connection to the artists.
There will be a lot of things that they will challenged by and that they will feel an affinity to with respect to how art can allow people to figure out what we are doing
and how we think
