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.

The Jalynn Baker Exhibit

Breaking Beautiful was my first organized effort to advocate for myself and other women. Throughout girlhood, I had received the message that beauty should look a certain way from the media and society. My hair, my body, my skin were all an affront to this standardized definition. As I looked around my college campus, I saw a world of beauty to be celebrated. My intention with this portrait series was to reclaim our power as women to define beauty for ourselves and to give voice to the uniqueness of each individual.

The Cheryl Prose Exhibit

The MeToo Art Project launched October 2017 and is designed to (1) give survivors of sexual violence another vehicle by which to speak their truth about their experience, (2) be a means by which to hold perpetrators accountable, (3) raise awareness of the epidemic of sexual harassment and assault, and (4) be a means by which solidarity is shown- without regard to gender- with and to those who have experienced this type of life-altering attack.
