OUR HISTORY, OUR VOICES PROJECT
The Victoria Walsh Exhibit
About Her Exhibit…
My work is texture inspired. Shadows, light play and layers add to the depth of my fiber art and practice.
This piece was made during a recent residency at The Art and History Museums in Maitland FL, right before leaving my hometown and moving to Knoxville TN.
I had felt a pull to move and study in the Appalachian art community.
I felt myself desiring new additions to my medium. Fiber, supplemented by clay and slip.. a change, a shift, a new layer.
I envisioned myself in this dress, in the woods outside of Knoxville, with macrame draped over my shoulders and the whole thing dipped and dried in clay clip left in the fragility of a ceramic greenware state.

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 Drocella Mugorewera Exhibit
I am a woman of faith, and I use that to help people to reach their potential. I am proud to lead an organization that welcomes refugees and asylees and helps them to be self-sufficient and to become productive and contributing members of our community. I am also inspired by people who are successful in making an impact to transform people's lives.
