Event Description

LIPS} is super excited to present new sculptures by Armisey Smith in a solo-exhibition, "Sugared Walls". Join us at Armisey's  Artist Opening on Friday, July 29th at 7:00 PM as we celebrate her amazing sculptures, enjoy tasty summer drinks, and snack on delicious cheeses.

Armisey Smith's "Sugared Walls" exhibition will be up the entire month and will end with her Artist Talk on Friday, August 26th 7:00 PM - 9:30 PM.

The "Sugared Walls" exhibit explores the range and depth of women of color sexuality via 34 unique vagina sculptures. The series attempts to dispel traditional visual notions of vaginas; the pristine, virginal, oversexualized, menopausal and pre-pubescent. Each piece represents diverse emotional, physical and magical facets of this complex series of muscles that ultimately can wield both great joy and pain.

All the sculptures are mixed media; incorporating materials like glass, shells, beads, brown sugar, dried flowers, etc. to elicit various responses and interactions with the pieces. As with any visual cues, participants will be drawn to a pieces or pieces that personally resonate with them. It is the artists’ desire to connect with women of color activating or appending their own sexuality.
