Baker Artist Portfolios

Ciarra K. Walters explores the human body as both the medium and subject of her work, capturing its essence through film and photography. Her artistic practice centers around cultivating a heightened awareness of one's own body. Inspired by the sculptures crafted by individuals or shaped by nature, Walters embraces spontaneity and intuition, allowing them to merge with her physical being, giving rise to captivating performance pieces. Whether amidst rocks, trees, grass, concrete, or metal, she finds intrigue in the interplay between the body, its emotional state, the surroundings, and its instinctual movements.

In her creative process, Walters treats her body as an independent sculpture, adorning it with found objects and dressing it in a distinctive manner. Through her performances, she establishes a profound connection with and understanding of the concepts of time, mortality, and the delicate nature of human existence.
