b. 1950, Clark County, Kentucky, USA. |
| About the Artist | |
My art work is about idenity, the passage of time and death. The work is often very political in nature. An early group show that I partisipated in was AIDS: THE ARTIST RESPONDS at the Wexner Center for Art, Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio (the 1st. organised show concerning the subject at a USA university campus). The most current work is entitled THE ARCHIVE LOUIS ZOELLAR BICKETT II. I'm making an inventory of every object in the house and studio and making a photographic documentation of it. At the conclusion of the project one could tell exactly what I possess. The most important inspiration that I've gathered from my travels around the world is from the work of Joseph Beuys and Annette Messager. I've had a working studio since 1969. Most of my inspirations come from that long production and daily living. |
