About the Artist
V Walton is a multidisciplinary artist and educator, based in Baltimore. They have an MFA in ceramic art from Alfred University and a BFA with a focus in ceramics from Towson University. Walton explores the wonder and complexity of Black identity, creating sculpture and video works that center the narratives of women and gender-expansive people. V draws from her own life: reflecting on the intersection of her 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. V is an adjunct professor at Maryland Institute College of Art.
