Tiger Strikes Asteroid Greenville presents Intersectional Voices, a group exhibition featuring the work of Katrina Andre, Kephira Davis, and Clare Hu.

Intersectional Voices: Reflective Experiences of the American South, explores the evidence of lived experiences within each artist’s work as they challenge the viewers understanding and examination of material, technique and imagery.

The works of Katrina Andry, Kephira Davis and Clare Hu’s work all hold space in the past, present and future that allows focus within the works edges, broadening viewers ideas and understanding of cultural complexities. The fleeting moments captured from photographs to self-portraits and use of ubiquitous materials, all highlight experiences that weave these works together.  As many of us have shared moments of connectivity we rarely have the privilege to see an artist’s dissection, analysis and recreation of their personal story.

About the Artists

Katrina Andry (b. 1981, New Orleans, LA, USA) challenges the ideology of individualism by examining inequalities and resulting degradation as the result of our color-based prejudices. She argues the belief in individualism allows Americans to turn a blind eye to inequality, suggesting barriers to well-being lie with the individual and not also within our social structures, in spite of documentation of the collective experiences of these groups and data on outcomes of disfavored groups.

Andry earned an MFA in Printmaking from Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, LA. She has participated in exhibitions at the New Orleans Museum of Art, the Katonah Museum of Art in Katonah, NY, and Marc Straus Gallery, New York, NY, as well as had solo exhibitions at The Halsey Institute in Charleston, SC and the Hammonds House Museum in Atlanta, GA. In 2021, Andry was a participating artist in Prospect.5. Andry’s work can be found in the prominent art collections of 21C Museum, Saint Louis, MO, the Petrucci Family Foundation, the New Orleans Museum of Art, Union College, and the Ogden Museum of Southern Art in New Orleans, LA. Andry currently lives and works in New Orleans where she maintains a studio. 

Kephira Davis always knew she wanted to be an artist. Growing up in Greenville, SC, she spent afternoons drawing Disney characters and hosting tea parties for her older sisters. Davis’s childhood experiences and familial relationships have heavily influenced her work. She is currently exploring themes of gender, memory, and lineage as she dives deeper into the lives of her ancestors, sharing the stories she has grown up hearing. In 2023, Davis received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Lander University. She continues to develop her interest in art history and curatorial gallery practices. Currently, Davis is a Brandon Fellow at the Greenville Center for Creative Arts, based in Greenville, SC. 

Clare Hu (b.1996, Norcross, GA) is a weaver and artist whose practice examines personal and familial experience within the broader framework of myths and narratives that make up the American South.

Hu has had solo exhibitions at the Gibbes Museum of Art in Charleston, SC and Dream Clinic Project Space in Columbus, OH. She has shown in group exhibitions at the Artists Space in New York, NY, the Chashama Project Space in New York, NY, Bob’s Gallery in Brooklyn, NY, the Textile Center in Minneapolis, MN, and the Cohen Gallery in Alfred, NY. Hu is a past artist in residence at the Studios at MASS MoCA, Hambidge Center, and the Textile Arts Center in Brooklyn, NY. She was a Visiting Artist at the Gibbes Museum in Charleston, SC and took part in Alfred University’s inaugural Summer Residency Program. Hu completed her BFA with a focus in Fiber and Material Studies at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) and is currently pursuing her MFA at Hunter College.
