Portraits of Resilience: Select Collaborative Projects from 2014-2019
Artist: Traci Molloy
Reception/Artist Talk: March 12, 2020, at 12:30 p.m.
Traci Molloy is an artist, collaborator, and social activist that creates figurative works of art on paper – primarily headshots – utilizing drawing, painting, printmaking, photography, and digital processes. Her work, minimal in aesthetic, explores themes of adolescent culture, identity, and narrative in relation to gender, class, race, and violence. The pieces are actualized as a large, conceptually-related series. Molloy's goal as an artist is to make resiliency manifest in visual art. She is particularly curious about how humans process trauma and grief, what occurs emotionally and psychologically during the aftermath of violence, and our society's ability to recontextualize history to mask painful truths and nullify collective loss. Though the content of Molloy's work is often difficult, the finished pieces are celebratory, acknowledging the spirit and strength of the individuals she depicts.
March 1 – April 11
CU Bank Gallery
Artist: Sarah Wilson
Reception/Artist Talk: TBD
As Agnes Martin said, “Beauty is an awareness in the mind.” Wilson's ceramics aspire to encourage this awareness, both in the mind and in the hands. The forms are simple and subtly imperfect. The marks that cover them suggest things beneath the surface that are neither visible nor understood. Her work is concerned with beauty, but it is a quiet, uncertain beauty. She seeks access to emotions and sensations that cannot be put into words.
