About the Item

Akeylah Imani Wellington remembers when Xpression sold 88” packs of hair unstretched. Her sculptural and textile work concerns itself with the aughts, ironies, poor lucks, and humor as both a noun and a verb. She is interested in a somber digestion of the psychological states of loving slave-descended US citizens. In addition to completing a Winter Residency at The Wassaic Project, her work has been shown at Dream Clinic Project Space in Columbus, OH and stop-gap projects in Columbia, MO. She received her MFA from The Ohio State University and is an artist and educator based in Columbus, OH.
