SUMMARY:Rosemary Meza-DesPlas: A Meandering Line
DESCRIPTION:A Meandering Line is on view in the Lower Traylor Gallery from September 3 through October 10\, 2025. Rosemary Meza-DesPlas will give an artist talk on Friday\, Sept. 5\, at 12:00pm\, and will host a drawing workshop on Friday\, Sept. 5\, at 2:30pm in the Rogers-Traylor Art Building. For more information\, visit our Events page.\n\n\n \n \nA Meandering Line features meticulously embroidered human hair artworks by Rosemary Meza-DesPlas. Artist Paul Klee once stated\, “A line is a dot that went for a walk.” In Meza-DesPlas’ artwork\, line is human hair. Line variations in her work suggest emotion\, texture\, three-dimensionality\, and movement. This exhibition showcases experimentations and documents the evolutionary process of working with the first fiber: hair. These artworks reflect material culture\, display sewing dexterity\, communicate figuration\, and manifest themes. Material culture of hair connects medium and meaning: this common fiber correlates to age and beauty. Identity and femininity resonate in Meza-DesPlas’ art. Her hand stitching can be contextualized\, art historically\, within the 1970s women’s craft movement; however\, she is translating drawing techniques into the sewn line. A self-taught stitcher\, she has sewn with her natural hair color\, dyed hair\, and graying hair.\n\n\n\n \nRosemary Meza-DesPlas\, a multidisciplinary Latina/Coahuiltecan artist\, incorporates fiber art\, drawing\, installation\, painting\, performance art\, and video into her studio practice. Through figurative artwork\, she amplifies the voices of women and their lived experiences. Socio-cultural issues\, gender-based burdens\, and political agency are explored through an intersectional feminist lens. The tenacity of her eight aunts in the face of personal tragedies and adversities was an early inspiration; their narratives contributed to her embrace of feminist ideology. Thematic continuity links Meza-DesPlas’ visual artwork with her academic writing and poetry. This written discourse provides a foundation for her performance artwork. In 2022\, she was honored with a Latinx Artist Fellowship by the Mellon Foundation and the Ford Foundation. Through the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts\, she was awarded a grant in 2022 to create and stage a new performance artwork. Her work has been exhibited at many museums\, including the Museum of Sonoma County\, Spartanburg Art Museum\, Marin Museum of Contemporary Art\, Koehline Museum of Art\, and the Art Museum of Southeast Texas. Meza-DesPlas received a BFA from the University of North Texas and an MFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art.

SUMMARY:At Home with the Elliotts: A 'Fine Art Print Collection' Before Berea College
DESCRIPTION:“I have the collecting gene. There’s just no doubt about it.” – Gerald Elliott \nShelly and Gerry Elliott have been collecting prints since they married in 1960\, carefully selecting one print through a mail order catalog tied the New York-based Association of American Artists. As Gerry says\, “It just went on from there.” \nSince then\, the Elliotts have amassed a collection of hundreds of these works on paper representing an impressive array of artistic styles\, time periods\, methods\, processes\, and techniques that they have lovingly hung en masse in their home\, leaving hardly one inch of wall space bare. Shelly and Gerry have chosen to live a life surrounded by art\, by what they find to be beautiful\, curious\, and interesting. \nTo date\, the Elliotts have generously gifted over five hundred artworks from their personal collection to the Berea College Art Collection. At Home with the Elliotts: A ‘Fine Art Print Collection’ Before Berea College is inspired by the Elliotts’ lifelong adoration and pursuit of the print and their drive to intentionally create a space for themselves in this world that has enabled them to be entirely surrounded by visual art and human creativity. This exhibition recreates\, in part\, the Elliotts’ Washington\, DC\, home in such a way to encourage visitors to consider the different ways one might seek out a life in the arts. \nClick here to view more information about the artworks included in the show! \nAt Home with the Elliotts will be on view in the Masterpiece Gallery on the first floor of the Rogers-Traylor Art Building from Monday\, September 29\, 2025 through Friday\, March 13\, 2026. This exhibition is generously supported by Shelly and Gerry Elliott and the William A. and Leola Piper Boyce Art Exhibition Endowment Fund. \n\n  \nGerry Elliott – Fine Art Print Collector\, directed by Justin Skeens\, 2023\, featuring Kelsey Frady Malone\, PhD; Dante Stewart (Berea College Class of 2023); and Florence Wright (Berea College Class of 2025)
