#### September 6 – December 8, 2024
From The Contemporary Austin:
“Katarina Janečková Walshe’s painterly practice has long explored complexities of female-identified experience, including sexuality, domesticity, and motherhood. Ten years ago, when she moved from her hometown of Bratislava, Slovakia to Corpus Christi, Texas, she was prompted to examine how those aspects of experience manifest in American and Texan culture. In this installation, titled Mother Land, the artist extends her inquiry to contemplate the transformative potential that applying a mother’s love and care universally might unleash.
