In an exhibition of prisoners’ art, author, artist and educator Phyllis Kornfeld showed artworks from prisoners before associate professor Chris Tinson discussed incarceration in the United States on Oct. 13 at the Augusta Savage Gallery. “Once you tap into (creative energy) and you open the floodgate, it has its own energy,” Kornfeld said. “A person doesn’t have to sit down and think ‘what should I draw now’ because this energy is self-propelling.” The Augusta Savage gallery in the New Africa House building displayed 12 paintings and sketches from prisoners. A table also displayed envelope art, sketches, a copy of Kornfeld’s book “Cellblock Visions,” and a pair of baby shoes made from ramen noodle wrappers. Read More. |
