Sublimating the desire for communion is the core of Peyton Pitts' work. She seeks communion with contemporary and past artists by tracing and appropriating their (& her own) visual lineage. The work features images and objects directly appropriated from art history as well as from a personal lexicon of visual metaphors and symbols for aspects ofsheer experience like love, death, humor, and culture. Pitts uses the figure to locate the work within the physical world and to reiterate the tangibility, or intimacy, that printing, drawing, and mark-making already suggest. Her ultimate creative goal is to archive, catalogue, celebrate, and perpetuate the things that she finds beautiful or profound.
