Tabatha Terry is a sculptor based in the Kansas City Crossroads whose work uses repurposed grocery packaging, waste plastics, paper, reworked fabrics, and aluminum to create sculptures of grocery store items—including steaks, ground beef, cuts of fish, and other food products. @tabterryart

Drawing in part from her experience growing up on a small cattle ranch, Terry’s work addresses food production, distribution, consumption, sustainability, waste, and farming practices.

When we asked what she has been noticing lately that is influencing her work, Terry pointed to food insecurity:

“The current climate surrounding food insecurity is increasing among a widening cross section of the population.”

She is also thinking about the relationship between making art for a living and the ideas embedded in the work:

“Finding a healthy balance between producing art objects as a living, and securing what I’d consider my moral footing within the subtext of the works. That feels pressing at the moment as materials and processes are both ever-evolving and resources become a little tighter.”

Terry recently exhibited work at Precious Frivolities in Kansas City and is seeking greater visibility as she pursues exhibitions, residencies, and resources to sustain and expand her studio practice.

This Attention Grant is part of an ongoing effort to document and increase visibility for artists and cultural workers.

Tabatha Terry, @tabterryart, is a sculptor based in Kansas City, MO whose work utilizes repurposed grocery packaging, waste plastics, paper, reworked fabrics, and aluminum to create representational sculptures of grocery store items such as steaks, ground beef, cuts of fish, and other foodstuffs. Through her use of recycled and repurposed materials, Terry seeks to create both individual pieces as well as installations which confront both the practical as well as the moral issues surrounding the production and distribution of perishable goods. These pieces also serve as a reflection of the artist’s own experiences growing up on a small cattle ranch, mirroring her own participation within the food production trade and the complicated, often traumatic, nature of farming practices in one’s formative years.

Excited to be a part of this exhibit, Secret Signs, crusted from the brilliant mind of artist @deannaskedel

“... the power of the stories we tell and the physical things—the artifacts—they leave in their wake. For me, this is an exploration of how narratives communicate outward; they define us and help us visualize not just who we are, but who we want to be. At the heart of this show is a specific kind of wisdom. It isn’t necessarily based on how old someone is, but rather on the authority that comes from lived experience and a deep, quiet observation of the world.”
