From: Arts GowanusEstablished Gallery is pleased to present “Creature of Desire,” a solo show by Traci Johnson.
The show runs from Wednesday, July 6th – Saturday July 30th with an opening reception on Friday, July 8th from 7-9pm.
Johnson (they/them) was born and raised in Brooklyn and graduated from the Fashion Institute of Technology with a bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts. Their concepts are driven by mental health, and art and fashion as therapy subcultures. Johnson’s work is informed by trauma and how the human mind, soul, and body can be soothed by a moment. They also hope to bring a sense of euphoria and vibration within the colors of their art.
In their solo show, “Creatures of Desire,” Johnson depicts abstract, womanly forms via textiles, weaving, and yarn rugs. These forms allude to the perception of women’s bodies as sexual vessels. Johnson invites the viewer to examine how womanhood is often projected onto others and oneself, and to imagine a world in which women reclaim their sexuality and are given the space to explore various roles.
Established Gallery is located at 75 6th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11217 (6th Ave and Flatbush)
