This exhibition features internationally acclaimed artist Swoon’s large-scale paper and mixed media artworks.
Born in 1977, Caledonia “Swoon” Curry works with printmaking, sculpture, and stop-motion animation to create immersive installations, community-based projects and public artworks. She is the first woman to gain large-scale recognition in the male-dominated world of street art.
Her cut paper and hand printed works marry the whimsical to the grounded, weaving in fairy tales, myth, and a recurring motif of the sacred feminine. Tendrils of her own family history — and a legacy of her parents’ struggles with addiction and substance abuse — recur throughout her work. Her exhibiting artwork addresses relationships between people and their built environment and explores how creativity can positively impact communities in times of crisis and change.
