Join KMAC and artist Licia Priest for an artist talk on Saturday, May 10th from 2-3pm. Licia will discuss the development of her body of work in I Am We, Crafting Community in Paper Tole.  This event is free thanks to a grant from South Arts, National Endowment for the Arts, and the Kentucky Arts Council.

Since the mid 1980’s, Louisville based artist Licia Priest has been teaching art and developing a practice that brings together her experiences working in painting, fiber art, sculpture, and photography. Her most recent work emerged from a research trip to Zimbabwe. Photos from this trip are manipulated, first through digital color changes, merging scenes, and alterations to line, space, and shape. Priest then cuts up and organizes copies of her treated photos into multi-layered images that create the perception of depth. Her contoured figures and stacked layers ultimately become impressive, wall-mounted, high relief sculptures.​
