Artist Talk: May 6 in Ceramics Classroom
Lies, Legends, and Lines on Land Salvador Jiménez-Flores and KC Weldon critique the idea of borders, barriers, and lines drawn in the sand through ceramics. Having different yet similar rural upbringings, the two artists challenge stereotypes, question histories, and comment on social/political climate through their work. Using stories informed by their own cultural identities, both artists create work that reflects on the power dynamics of religion, race, gender. Jimenez-Flores draws from his hometown in Mexico and experience as an immigrant, while Weldon pulls from her childhood below the bible belt and experience growing up in a rural church community.
