Fort Worth Contemporary Arts presents 'Chasing Shadows: BFA Studio Art Thesis Exhibition' from April 17 to April 24, 2025, featuring works by Ellie Evans, Jasmine Ramirez, Lydia Welling, and Madeline Smith. The exhibition explores surreal and ethereal spaces, inviting viewers to reconsider ordinary objects through eerie and celestial perspectives.
Jess Self, a Decatur-based sculptor and educator, presents *Celestial Perspectives* at the Marietta Cobb Museum of Art, an immersive textile environment that explores autobiography through figurative form. The exhibition features works in resin, plaster, felted wool, fiber, and rope, including the large-scale installation *The Veil* and the compelling *She Who Ties Magic Knots*, a resin and plaster cast of the artist's pregnant torso. Self's practice draws on Jungian archetypes and spiritual traditions, and the show communicates themes of connectivity, motherhood, bodily experience, and transcendence without relying on wall text.
