[salonlb.] Launches SALON SUNDAYS Featuring Artist, Colleen Walsh
Meet Colleen Walsh, a fine artist thriving where Chicago ends, on the south side. Walsh’s work revolves around relationships, family dynamics, and beauty in mundanity. Her studio, in the basement of her single-family home, is a haven where her work intends to highlight the sunny side of life. Sculpture is an endeavor in alignment with Walsh’s background, though having a home ceramics studio is a fortuitous and unseen turn of events. A dear relative passed a kiln and a heap of other ceramics materials on to Colleen, to share with her friends and her family, which she has done in small group classes. Using the inherited slip-molds available to her, she sought to explore themes of balance and chaos she experienced as a mother of young children during their COVID quarantine experience. The arm sculptures were developed as a practical approach to continuing her art practice, despite the many and ceaseless expectations and demands, exerted by others and herself.
