Tom Gormally ’77 will showcase his provocative sculpture St. Oil Baron at the 2025 Seattle Art Fair.

Exhibited in Booth CP14 as part of the Northwest Designer Craftartists (NWDC) Cultural Partners program, St. Oil Baron is a mixed-media work made of wood, cast resin, stain, paint, and LED lights. Standing six feet tall, the piece critiques fossil fuel profiteering and disinformation—framed within the solemn symbolism of a religious altarpiece.

This is the ancestral homeland of the Dakota and Ojibwe people, who were forcibly exiled from the land because of aggressive and persistent settler colonialism. We recognize that this place has a complex and layered history. As a community dedicated to creativity, MCAD is committed to ongoing efforts to support and advocate for American Indian Nations and peoples.
