Gallery Talk: LaToya M. Hobbs: It’s Time

This event does not require registration; see further details below.

Chassidy A. Winestock, a Harvard graduate student, will consider the combination of figuration and abstraction in Carving Out Time, a suite of life-size woodcuts by Baltimore-based artist LaToya M. Hobbs.

This talk is offered in conjunction with the exhibition LaToya M. Hobbs: It’s Time (March 1–July 21, 2024), which presents the complete set of prints for the first time. Unfolding over five scenes, the prints depict one day in Hobbs’s life with her family. The series makes a powerful statement about her influences and self-fashioning as an artist.

Led by:
Chassidy A. Winestock, Ph.D. candidate in the History of Art and Architecture, Harvard University, and curator of the current exhibition A Female Landscape and the Abstract Gesture (February 5–June 22) at the Harvard Radcliffe Institute
