OUR HISTORY, OUR VOICES PROJECT
The Liberty Collins Exhibit
About Her Exhibit…
I’m an East TN native who grew up playing outside crushing poke berries, painting on tin with rocks, and digging in the red clay of my backyard.
Now I’m a potter!
I started my body vessel project in September of 2020 after a diagnosis of a chronic illness.
Since then, it’s blossomed into a wonderful exploration of loving my body, its limits, and overcoming shame around my illness and imperfections.
It’s also been hugely influential in beginning more conversations with women around me as they find their own struggles represented and the strength to discuss them.
I am humbled by the journey of these body vessels and the connections I’ve made by sharing them.

More Exhibits
The Allison Hong Merrill Exhibit
I'm a Taiwanese immigrant writer based in Utah. My work mostly centers around my upbringing in Chinese culture, which sadly, conditions women and girls to submit to men's will.
The Ruth Everhart Exhibit
Authors usually choose what topic they’re going to study, especially a topic that will consume their energy for years. But sometimes the reverse occurs. Sometimes the topic chooses the author.
The Elizabeth Molter Exhibit
My mom has always been my inspiration my entire life. She has always been there with me through tough times and even when I had health problems she never left my side for a single minute, not to even get a bite to eat. When I found myself doodling one day writing calligraphy she, along with others, inspired me to start this business and make some money from my passion and talent.
