The Studio Art Program and Vail Visiting Artist Series welcomes Erika Diamond presenting an artist talk.
Diamond is a textile-focused visual artist, curator, and educator. She received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Sculpture from Rhode Island School of Design and an Master of Fine Arts in Fiber from Virginia Commonwealth University. She has exhibited nationally and internationally and her costumes have been commissioned by Charlotte Ballet. Her artist statement reads, “My work addresses the vital and fleeting qualities of human contact. It investigates the possibility of immortality, the commemoration of touch, and the thresholds between people. It reveals the vulnerability and self-preservation negotiated during human interaction. Referencing skin, defense mechanisms, and safety procedures, my work questions the fragility and resilience of both the human body and our connections to each other.”
Studio visits with Studio Art juniors and seniors with be held on Friday, March 10.
