Meet the Jurors:

Sofia Campins is a multimedia artist and musician, and has been based in Asheville since 2016.

Juror’s Statement:
Textured Visions:
An examination of tangible emotions
Texture is the feel, appearance, or consistency of a surface or substance. While viewing all of your pieces we realized that the room was full of texture – not just in the traditional definition, but full of an immense amount of emotional texture. We were very drawn to the pieces where we could experience some of your emotional processes. At Different Wrld, we strive to practice as well as deeply appreciate art that interacts with the socio-political landscape. We made our decisions based on a mixture of reasons but we chose pieces that sparked an emotion in us and displayed an understanding of the textured vision.
We want to acknowledge the emotions & energy put into each piece in the Warren Wilson College Annual Student Exhibition. We believe art is the greatest translation of the human experience. We hope & lovingly expect to see all of your work sprinkled throughout the community & world because the amount of talent was truly overwhelming.
We encourage you all to continue to create & expand the vast world we like to call art. Thank you for your submissions, long live the artist.
—Honey Simone and Sofia Campins
