Restoring and Redefining the Body Exhibit / by Kirsten Taylor

Two of my recent works have been included in the Spencer Museum of Art’s virtual exhibition, Restoring and Redefining the Body. All of the work can be seen at www.spencerart.ku.edu. The show, “considers how we undergo restoration after mental and physical hardship, and how these experiences can help us redefine our perceptions of the body and mind”. I was drawn to this exhibition because the call asked the question, how are we connected through our physical experiences? During the pandemic, many of us have returned to nature seeking connection because we were unable to see and connect with others of our own species. Despite our isolation, we share the experience of returning to nature for solace.
