V Walton is a Maryland-based interdisciplinary artist and educator. Walton explores the wonder and complexity of Black identity, creating sculpture and video works that center the narratives of women and gender-expansive people. V draws from their own life: reflecting on the intersection of his identities, their chronic illness-disability, and queerness. Their work illustrates the societal and interpersonal dynamics that build and break us down simultaneously, making multi-layered connections between clay (terra), nature, and the body. They have an MFA in Ceramic Art from Alfred University and a BFA with a focus in ceramics from Towson University.
