Artist: Corran Shrimpton | Location: Atlanta, GA
Atlanta, GA
Corran Shrimpton is a mixed media figurative sculptor from Syracuse, NY where she received her BFA with a minor in Philosophy from Alfred University. She has worked as a teacher and Artist in Residence at the Armory Art Center in West Palm Beach, FL and the Lillstreet Art Center in Chicago, IL. She is the recipient of the Lisa Elwell Ceramic Artist Endowed Encouragement Award and is currently an MFA candidate and Welch Fellow at Georgia State University, Ernest G. Welch School of Art and Design.
Shrimpton's work examines the experience of being a woman in a culture in which women are pressured to be smaller in both their body and personality. By subverting the dominant narrative around what is normal or acceptable for a woman to look like, she explores beauty as a powerful cultural construction and social currency.
