Artist Statement
“Resilient; A Queer Experience” focuses on the joys & small beauties of everyday life. Brig finds their inspiration from the natural world that surrounds us; from bugs & plants, your morning coffee, and everything in between. They enjoy the challenge of capturing simplicities in their own illustrative style from the perspective of a photographer. They are also inspired by messages of community, companionship, and the magic of this planet we live in.
Brig is an artist formerly residing in Rhode Island; they moved to the valley this past October. Some of this show is an homage to the years they lived in Newport & the love and community that was found there. Other pieces are inspired by the ecosystem of the valley & the woods they grew up in. They have been photographing film since childhood & started printmaking three years ago. They are self taught and love playing/experimenting with new ways to create art in numerous forms.
Keep in touch with Brig’s work via their instagram: @bug.artwork for printmaking & @brigitcotter for photography. Join for the “Artists Hangout” on April 10th, from 6:30-8:30pm where
Brig will have a craft available for people to participate in.
