Pru Morrison at the Marks and Gardner Gallery
If you can go see this show in person please do, if not take a few minutes to check out the latest body of work by Pru Morrison online. I just can’t get enough of her surfaces and imagery. Pru has such a fantastic sense of humor and her work is layered in personality, wit and politics. You really have to see them in person to truely appreciate them fully. But I guess all great art is like that. Check out her blog for more images and writing.
