Artists’ Statement

Materiality is a group exhibition featuring works from Émily Beaupré-Walsh, Joviel Buenavente, Maggie Dixon, and Sara McCreary. Through meaningful conversations amongst peers within the Sculpture department at the U of R, the exhibition evolved from being exclusively about materials and processes into one that discusses topics like climate change, the environment, fast-fashion, and poverty. Materiality aims to spark discussions about these issues and the interconnected nature of these topics.
