The Pit, 918 Ruberta Ave,
Glendale, California 91201 United States

On View: September 8–October 19, 2019 The Pit Gallery in Glendale occupies a set of small spaces along Ruberta Avenue. In their main gallery, Allison Miller’s paintings feel intimate and personal, but allow room for interpretation from the viewer.

Glendale, California 91201 United States

At The Pit in Glendale, Heather Rasmussen’s solo exhibition “Animal, Vegetable, Mineral” muses on the human form with poetic self-portraits that feature various vegetables between ripeness and decay. Wrapped around her lithe limbs in several photos, the tromboncino zucchini mimics the human form with its bulging bottom and curving spine.
