Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

Nancy Silliman

When Nancy Silliman refers to her “body of work,” she’s not just talking about her paintings, charcoals and pastels. She’s also talking about the skin, bones and blood that allow her to hold the brush. Her latest work, an exploration of that double meaning, is part of a show called “In Our Midst” that also includes mixed-media works by Cuban American artist Redel Frometa. “We live, we think, we die in our body — that’s all we have, that’s all we get,” Silliman writes in an artist statement. Use yours to get yourself down to Windsor’s Nuance Gallery before April 14 when the show wraps up. Pictured: “The Enlightenment Two-Step.”
