EP 013: The Hatted Ladies of Harlem: Rev. Georgiette Morgan-Thomas and Liz Goldberg
Liz Goldberg is a painter, film graphic designer and animator inspired by puppets and absurdist theatre.
Her work explores the theme of the “diva” – the flamboyantly uninhibited female and the personal and political empowerment she represents.
Liz's images are often drawn from life, influenced by puppet–like characters reminiscent of Alfred Jarry’s forerunner of absurdist theater, Ubu-Roi, the buffoons of modernist playwright Michel de Ghelderode, the existentialist mime plays of Samuel Beckett, and the symbolist and political figures of European puppet theater.
"These influences give me considerable license to explore colorist and gestural solutions to the depiction of the contradictions these images embody: awkward yet fluid, wooden yet alive, constrained yet brashly extroverted personalities, often mischievous, egotistical, erotic, even magical exaggerations of human behavior."
Rev. Georgiette Morgan-Thomas founded and owns American Hats LLC along with her son, Robert James Morgan III. American Hats LLC. is one of the only US hat factories dedicated to producing couture, dress, and casual women's and men's headwear for wholesale and retail purchase. "Our goal," says Rev. Morgan-Thomas "is to manufacture the highest quality handcrafted, affordable products right here in the USA and to preserve the art of hat making.” Reverend Morgan-Thomas has been featured on The Today Show, in The Entrepreneur, Grow with Google, AARP Magazine, and has been featured on many local media programs.
