“Tides/Birds,” (2026) by Eric Huckabee
Artist Statement:
“Tides/Birds is a selection of large-scale works on paper that began as a response to photographic moments recorded along the beaches of Waveland, Mississippi. These moments, of changing tides, waves, and atmospheric conditions, visually mirror the graphic nature of the shape and movement of birds. Like a mark, the waves and birds may be singular and hold attention, or integrate into the totality of the environment.“
“The Memory of Miss River,” (2023) by Cristina Molina
Artist Statement:
“The Memory of Miss River is a video installation and moving image portrait of the Mississippi River. Here the River is imagined as an untamed mythical dual-spirit who holds the endless memory of the most important waterway in the American South. Prompted by the River’s wildness and now engineered constraints, a series of gestures informed by the Mississippi River’s movements (carrying, holding, diverting, flooding, draining) were choreographed and performed for the camera along the River in New Orleans. Drawing parallels between water bodies, spiritual bodies, and physical bodies, these corporeal river dances serve to symbolically incarnate the contested and celebratory aspects of the River’s history and memory.“
