SUMMARY:Reception: Absurd Appetites by Sheryl Anaya
DESCRIPTION:ABSURD APPETITES (TABLES FOR TWO)\nJanuary 21 – March 13\, 2025 \nAbsurd Appetites distorts the norms of a typical dining experience. Considering the deconstruction and consumption of the body\, absurd actions surprise and set the tone for the examination of our roles within gendered labor\, sexuality\, and domestic space. Humor tempers the seriousness of these topics to avoid confrontation at the dinner table. \nSheryl Anaya is a queer Puerto Rican artist and educator based in Fort Worth\, Texas. She received a Master of Fine Arts in Studio Art with an emphasis in Sculpture from Texas Christian University in 2023 and received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from Texas Woman’s University in 2013. Sheryl’s work examines identity and empathy through the universality of the human experience\, intimate relationships\, and nostalgia\, whether humorous or gut-wrenching. \nJoin us to celebrate the opening of Absurd Appetites with an opening reception including refreshments and an artist talk by Anaya.
