Artist statement:⁠
⁠
My whole body is precious and belongs to me alone. I am not ashamed, I am grateful. My body allows me to feel, to move, to help, to sense, to take action. I was taught to feel ashamed but that shame does not belong to me. I release it. I meet my whole self with humility and awe. This body is changing and aging. It has given me so much that I was too immature to appreciate until I faced my own mortality and that of my parents, who were always so strong and healthy. I will do my best to take care of my body, knowing that my mind, soul and physical self are indivisible. I reclaim all the denied parts of myself. I bring us all home.⁠

Sophia Wallace is a queer, feminist artist best known for establishing an iconography of the clitoridian. For eleven years, Wallace has sculpted, sketched, pasted, inflated and spoken this subject into indelible presence. Artwork by artwork, she counters a suspicious absence in art history, centering clitoridian subjectivity in a world that venerates the phallic. Wallace is exhibited widely in the U.S. and internationally, including Portugal, Spain, Austria, Mexico, Italy, Nigeria, Australia and the U.K.. Her featured TED talk, A Case For Cliteracy has been viewed over 2 million times. She can be seen on BBC/Hulu’s Planet Sex with Cara Delevigne and in The Dilemma of Desire alongside CRAVE co-founder Ti Chang, the winning documentary film at SXSW in 2020. | Posted on 23/Jul/2023 20:43:39
