Pitt’s series of plaster and bronze sculptures is on display now through January at the Sara Hildén Art Museum as part of an exhibit of sculptures and paintings by contemporary artist Thomas Houseago and a ceramics collection by Nick Cave.
In an on-camera interview from inside the gallery, Pitt reveals that his pieces are inspired by deep personal reflection and taking ownership of his relationship mistakes. “To me it’s about self-reflection,” he says. “It’s about where I have gotten it wrong in my relationships, where I have misstepped, where am I complicit.
