G-Litter
G-Litter explores the spirituality and hypothetical culture of the cat lady archetype as potential shaman. For this exhibition, the cat lady becomes the priest and apostle of her own cult. She surrounds herself with totems made from materials that exist in the high-end of low culture. From her isolated perch she sees and knows what cannot be seen or known. Carmen Tiffany and Andrew Nigon attempt to answer these questions through sculpture, wall paper and video. Focusing on the aesthetics of destructive forms Nigon’s work explores the mystic space that is created when two dichotomous extremes overlap. Tiffany subtly uses fantastical characters that blur the line between predator and prey in a haunting beauty.

The Corvallis Advocate As for this month’s featured shows, you’re going to want to set aside some time for G-Litter at CEI Artworks. Normally I like to flesh my interpretation of something out for you, but I doubt I can top the press release: “G-Litter explores the spirituality and hypothetical culture of the cat lady archetype as potential shaman.

Whatever you’re thinking right now, I’m sure that on some level, that’s exactly what it is. Artists Andrew Nigon (an arts instructor at OSU) and Carmen Tiffany will be attacking the conundrum of this alternative reality with video, wall paper, and sculpture. Fresh, bizarre, exciting. We need more of this.
