Curator and Artist Talk: Jaime Angelopoulos and Julie Rae Tucker

Join artist Jaime Angelopoulos and curator Julie Rae Tucker for a talk and tour of Jaime’s work in Love Languages.

“The playful nature of my work strives for community integration while imbuing optimism into poignant narratives. Through daily writing, I am able to distill complex emotions and experiences into powerful testaments of human will and potentiality. I seek inspiration and alignment from phenomena of the natural world. I am also invested in methods of storytelling gleaned from mythology, as Greek goddesses often serve as beacons of resilience and divine feminine embodiment. My new sculptures are spirited-like amulets and are “activated” when placed on or near the human chest, while my drawings envision possibilities of a heartfelt consciousness. My smallest drawings are intimate and contain camouflaged text evoking adaptive growth and transformation. I am also interested in mythic stories and often personify feminine spirits and archetypes through my work. Through my practice, I hope to cultivate a sense of resilience through bold feminine/femme embodiment.” – Jaime Angelopoulos.
