Visual Art Studio Visit: Adrienne Outlaw

Outlaw could be defined as a social practice or relational artist, which basically means that her work is meant to be interacted with, and often addresses interdisciplinary ideas. Her studio is an enormous space in the old May Hosiery Mill on Chestnut Street, and it's easily bigger than my apartment. The place has the high ceilings and exposed beams of an old factory warehouse, and it's overflowing with relics that are part natural history museum, part industrial workshop. I stopped by to see what she was up to last week, and took some photos while I was there.
From Outlaw's Seek Shelter series
Another Shelter piece. This one's made of a surface pierced with 1.2 million small, silver nails.
"Trapped"
A new piece that illustrates the amount of sugar the average person consumes daily.
She stores pieces from this exhibition by stringing them up from the rafters.
A skull made from sugar.
