OUTLIERS: KURT GODWIN AND BETSY PACKARD 

Vessel, 2015, fabric, batting on wire, 7"diam.x 23"

Curated by J.W. Mahoney, Outliers is a dialogue between two Washington-area artists who have been working outside the boundaries of mainstream contemporary art for over three decades. These artists have effectively transformed ordinary objects, found images, and simple matter into fundamentally new conditions of meaning. Such expansions of art's real possibilities are what outliers do.
