As some Oregon Hill residents will head down to Broad Street for tonight’s First Friday Art Walk, former OH resident and longtime artist will be opening a show in Charlottesville.
Former Oregon Hill resident and neighborhood historian Tom Elliott has an exhibit of his ceramic sculptures in the Charlottesville Chroma gallery. This exhibit includes a tea-pot called “Richmond Burning” that was inspired by the mortise and tenon joints in the construction of his former home at 401 S. Pine Street, built in 1867 by Baylor Martin. According to the Chroma write-up:
Charlottesville’s building code inspector, Tom Elliott, unveils his secret life as a ceramic artist. Elliott transforms food, farce and politics into teapots, weaponry, and a few other household necessities and personal items in his installation Mad Tea Party Redux in the Black Box. Employing a playful anti-aesthetic rawness and a visual vocabulary of double entendre and riddle, Elliott upturns the traditional ceremonial refinement and polite countenance of the porcelain teapot.
