Walton’s multi-dimensional installation at Baltimore Museum of Art explores connections between the human body and the earth. V upends traditional museum protocols by tearing out part of a wall and bringing in organic soil and clay as well as vines, twigs, and grasses. One Body (2025) and To be of the Earth (2025) reconnect us to the healing power of nature.

Through figurative and organic forms, I Find Rest focuses on the relationship between the human body and the earth.

The show centers two major works: I Make My Way / Enter Into Another World (2025), a new video piece filmed on Black stewarded land in Owings, MD, which follows the artist as they dig a crater into the earth and then slowly coat themselves in sienna, umber, and ochre-colored liquid clay. In this work, Walton’s body disappears into the earth as the organic materials shift and dry, marking a meditative ritual that becomes an invitation to rest.

On the right side of the gallery, See What I Become (2025) mirrors I Make My Way / Enter Into Another World. The installation propels a oneness with nature, pulling the viewer into a forest-like environment with trees, soil, plants, and sculptural figures. At its center, a headless figure sits in an “earth womb,” its torso fused within the root of a tree. Mixed media sculptures protrude from the wall, interweaving the body with the natural world.
