Amy Cutler: Telling Stories

Join the Penny Stamps Speaker Series Friday, December 4th at 8:00 PM, in welcoming artist Amy Cutler to share her stories and inspirations for her artwork. Cutler is best known for enigmatic depictions of women performing strange, cryptic tasks: carrying goats on their backs in “Above the Fjord,” sewing tigers in “Tiger Mending,” and dancing with chairs on their heads in “Dinner Party.” Cutler's style is reminiscent of European folk art; however, the narratives are left unexplained and the white backgrounds of her drawings provide little context to the meanings. The world she creates is sometimes humorous and sometimes ominous.
