BIO

 

V Walton is a Maryland-based interdisciplinary artist and educator. Walton creates sculpture, installation, and video work centered on Black embodiment and ecology. V draws from her own life: reflecting on the intersection of his identities, their chronic illness-disability,  and queerness. Their work illustrates the societal and interpersonal dynamics that build and break us down simultaneously, making multi-layered connections between clay[terra], nature, and the body. They are part time faculty at Maryland Institute College of Art.
