A Letter To My Body
Staircase Gallery
Sept 21-Oct 17th 2022
Opening reception:
Saturday, Oct 15, 1 p.m.
Open to Public Hours:
Wed–Sat 1 – 5 p.m.
Martina Maya-Callen is an eating disorder warrior and this series was born from her navigating her relationship with her own body and working to hold space for others’ individualized journeys. In 2017, she wrote A Letter To My Body and now uses this practice to guide others through writing workshops that honor, celebrate, and heal the self. Unrealistic beauty standards perpetuated in society leave little room for body celebration. This artwork is designed to ignite connection with one’s body. The empowerment photography of women and nonbinary folx is varied, from boudoir to sculpture-making, representing the multidimensionality of beauty.

White Sand Isolate, 1980
By Sam Gilliam
(Oil, acrylic, and sand on canvas)
On view in the North Atrium through mid-November.
Sam Gilliam is one of the great American post- war painters. Gilliam, who emerged from Washington, DC in the 1960’s, is best known for his “drape” work, which broke through and expanded upon tenets of Abstract Expression. His large scale drape works merge painting and sculpture, utilizing richly painted, stained fabric that is suspended and hung from ceilings and strung across walls.
