Mikey Walsh Artist Statement The permanent nature of ceramics lends itself to containment of many sorts. In turn, I provided each recipient 2 additional tag’s to pass on to others in the same spirit, much like a chain letter.

Over the past several months I made 120 ceramic bows to gift to others and to BRG.
I’m influenced by poetry, where relationships between words/images shift and coalesce in such a way that something fresh or exciting is felt; what once felt common suddenly feels uncommon, what initially appeared ordinary strangely moves us.

As a member of the Baton Rouge Gallery artist cooperative, the standing invitation to try something new- even slightly different- within the gallery space, has always felt both compelling and risky. It is what I have dedicated my adulthood to and it is why- ultimately- I ended up living in Baton Rouge. Prior to the show, on a small group of tags I wrote a concise message to a 20 people (some I know, some I don’t- from public school teachers to preachers) whose contributions to Baton Rouge I have admired, valued and appreciated.
