FACULTY SPOTLIGHT: 💡Krys Lemonias
Krys is one of our amazing professors and an area coordinator for Westby. Her work as well as several students' is currently on display at Stockton University's Noyes Museum of Art as part of the NJ Monuments to Migration and Labor Exhibition and Emerging Visions Exhibition ✨
🌊 For NJMML, she created a tapestry and sculpture in response to the stories gathered from the community events. These pieces celebrate the history of Black migrants who seasonally shucked oysters in the Port Norris area. With an image reference from the Library of Congress, she constructed the tapestry using clothes collected from community events, scrap fabric, a bucket, oyster packaging, sail and shells from Bayshore Center at Bivalve. The sculpture uses a wheelbarrow often used to move the oysters, a sail and shells also from Bayshore Center at Bivalve that fills it.
