The Shape of Water
A group exhibition featuring artists who explore the embodiment of the human form, connection to land, and the act of leaving impressions.
Hi everyone,
I hope you are doing as well as you can be. It has been a month or so since I’ve been in this space and I wanted to start by thanking you for the well wishes and prayers for my continued good health as I celebrated four years cancer-free in October. There is much to say about this milestone and when the energy has formed itself into a medium I can translate, I look forward to sharing more with you.
In the time that I have been away, lots of folks have joined this space. Thank you for being here. As it says on the about page, Notes From A Trip To is a vehicle I use to share my creative practice. You will hear from me through this channel about mediums, methods, ideas, and ways of being that I hold dear.
Speaking of, I am very excited to share that I am exhibiting ceramic work a group exhibition, The Shape of Water at the Visual Arts Center of Richmond. Find details about the show below.
The Shape of Water, is a group exhibition featuring artists who explore the embodiment of the human form, connection to land, and the act of leaving impressions—both conceptual and tangible. Through dynamic installations, two-dimensional work, and functional objects, each artist transforms materials such as textile, glass, and clay, infusing their work with notions of storytelling, memory, and modernity. The exhibition title draws inspiration from the idea that water retains information. Much like personal memories, water has the ability to hold onto impressions and experiences, aligning with the exhibition’s examination of the imprints we make and those we leave behind.
Exhibiting artists include @aprilbey_, @sam_christ21, @__gabrielleione, @honghongstudio, @kandyglopez , @yanaminai, @cedricmitchelldesign, @jomotariku, and @felandus. Curated by @jaynellehazard and @terrick03.
The opening reception of The Shape of Water is today, Wednesday, November 13th! There will be an artist talk at 5:30pm.
