Sex, Gender, Reproduction, Domestic Spaces, Women's studies. Texas Women's University.

"Matrilinear" currently being exhibited at the Turchin Center! Elizabeth M. Claffey’s work is both cross-disciplinary in nature and aimed at starting conversations within the community. She uses visual art as a catalyst for storytelling and to express the knowledge of people often under-recognized within the public sphere. Claffey’s projects examine cultural and social context, engage in community dialogue, and encourage critical inquiry. https://tcva.appstate.edu/exhibitions/2373

We have an opportunity to use life experiences to create art and connect with people. 

Key moments in our lives can help shape the body of our artworks.

Engage life with all of your senses, not just your vision.

Experience of motherhood isinterrupted by technology (baby monitor). There's an invasion of privacy - teaching our children with those divices that they're always being watched.

Artwork comes with physical, emotional, and intellectual experiences.
