Join us at Jade Walker’s art studio (1808 Alguno Road, Austin, Texas 78757) to purchase artworks, meet the artist and enjoy refreshments. The event is free and open to the public from 5:00pm-8:00pm Saturday, August 29 and 11:00am-3:00pm Sunday, August 30. Jade Walker’s work consists of her personal struggle with spectatorship, binaries within gender, abstraction, narrative, found objects, desire and human anatomy as temporal. Her work focuses on the ideology of American society in respect to the image of the figure and its translation into a tangible object. The macro of the body and the micro of each organ or skin feature are evident in small stitches and massive stuffed bulbous forms presented throughout the work. Empathy, fear, longing and rage all find viable moments in the work with an underlying feeling of familiarity and often times nostalgia.
