Lauren Blair

Evergreen Presbytarian Church is honored to host Text | subtext | a collection of art, curated by Bonnie Whitehouse and Sarah Hatfield, that Lauren Blair has produced over the past two years as they have begun their medical gender transition. Text | subtext |brings together a selection of works from Blair’s studio practice including photography, painting, and collage. Interested in the connections between transitioning and mental health, Blair has inspected their own experience and noted daily moods and actions on a series of calendars that become like abstracted, time-specific self portraits; snapshots of moments through a medical, but also deeply intimate and personal, transition. Collages, manipulated photos, and pastel works conceived and made during this period of transition are paired with calendar pages to their creation, fostering a deeper connection between art, artist, and moment of creation.
