Artist talk with Kelsey Baker, about her work on view in "A Becoming" with Jesus Treviño. In this exhibition the artists approach the idea of existing in a state of flux from two distinct perspectives. Giving form to concepts and feelings that often happen invisibly, and over time, their works consolidate traces of protracted experiences of time spent in between.

About the Artist
Kelsey Baker (b. 1993), who received her MFA from Washington State University in 2020, is an intermedia artist based in Austin, Texas. She was a recipient of a King Creativity Fund Grant in 2015 and the Walter Milton Potter Prize in 2016. In 2019, she was awarded the John Ludwig Graduate Fellowship. Her work has been featured in group and solo exhibitions nationally, such as the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art in Pullman, WA; New Texas Talent at Craighead Green Gallery, Dallas, TX; The People’s Gallery, Austin, TX; Terrain Gallery, Spokane, WA; Gspot Gallery, Houston, TX; and Off the Cost, Portland, OR.
Artist Statement
Kelsey Baker is an intermedia artist who invents surreal landscapes and evokes liminal spaces. Her work presents the familiar as strange using distortions in placement and scale, allowing the viewer access to realms or states of being that might be otherwise inaccessible. Viewers are invited to experience the in-between spaces.
