Between the Lines
Isaac Bevin Boakye

Isaac Bevin Boakye is a multidisciplinary artist from Ghana, currently pursuing Architecture and the Built Environment, and Art at Vanderbilt University. His practice explores how identity, culture, and memory can be expressed through spatial forms, engaging both contemporary and inherited visual languages.

Between the Lines is a mixed media installation that invites viewers into an immersive space exploring the concept of a borderless Africa. It combines a series of large posters interacting with light and sound to introduce fictional yet relatable characters existing in a geographic future that has yet to exist. The artist imagines the organizational structure of a borderless Africa as a porous system that allows shared culture and values to circulate, rather than the chaos often associated with it.

Labor, Set in Clay
Paige Restel

Paige Restel is a senior at Vanderbilt University majoring in both Art and Ecology, Evolution, and Organismal Biology. Her art centers on transforming her crocheting hobby into multimedia installations that address topics such as mental health, labor, and domesticity. Additionally, she assists interdisciplinary artist Raheleh Filsoofi, creating instrumental beadwork for ceramic vessels and doing clay-based performances at both the First Art Museum and National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts (NCECA).

“Labor, Set in Clay” is a meticulous-detailed clay dipped crochet installation, which addresses the labor of domesticity and textiles while also celebrating the role craft plays in my own mental health. This installation serves as an homage to my relationship with crocheting as a coping mechanism for anxiety while also highlighting the immense, often overlooked labor embedded in textile work and domestic rituals. By drawing viewers in with beauty and revealing the devolution beneath the surface, this set table ultimately celebrates and brings visibility to this quiet, unrecognized labor.

Tearing at the Seams II
Megan Grosse

Megan Grosse is a multimedia artist from Michigan pursuing a B.A. in Art and a B.A. in Mathematics. She enjoys playing the trumpet in Vanderbilt’s marching band, hiking, reading, coding, and singing in an a ca****la group. Working primarily in fabric, paint, collage, and installation, Grosse authentically reflects on her q***r female identity to evoke a sense of community. Her notable accomplishments include the solo exhibition (non)conformity, work in the Saginaw Art Museum, the site-specific installation Everyone Bleeds, a presentation of artwork and research at Vanderbilt’s Undergraduate Research Symposium, and a mural in the Vanderbilt math building.

Tearing at the Seams II is a vulnerable multimedia installation welcoming visitors into my own q***r safe space as a way to honor the roles that q***r community and media have played in my self-acceptance and coming out. This autobiographical work is a blanket fort connected to the clothing of a mannequin’s outstretched arm. I have relocated my own blanket fort (and first q***r space) for this exhibition. The fort includes a rug, string lights, various comfort objects, a digitally painted projection representing q***r digital media, and q***r books with redesigned covers. The mannequin, representing my form, is dressed in a handmade garment symbolizing my coming out. Both the garment and fort contrast simple black and white outer shells with “messy,” colorful inner layers to address feigned heteronormativity in the context of both people and space.

la persona
Rubric Barredo

Rubric Barredo’s work is rooted in questioning the body, gender expression, and sexuality through a variety of mediums such as drawing, clothing, and performance. Their work is inspired by their journey of gender exploration and emerging identity, especially as it relates to their upbringing in the suburban south. Barredo also has a deep interest in drag history and drag culture, even performing in drag on several occasions under the name “Ruby Apocalypse”.

“La persona” is a multi-media installation that pictures a q***r utopia through illustrations of drag personas. As an art form, drag unshackles conventions of expression and thus becomes “a place for embodied imagination” (1) that allows for new modes of being. As the foundation of each persona is my own “n**e” form, each altered an remade through posture and clothing. By centering the works with the n**e, I demonstrate that identity can be expressed through these different methods, and yet, it is still me at the center.
