J. Spence Holman
J. Spence Holman is a designer, artist, and musician based in his native Baltimore. A graduate of Vassar College and Maryland Institute College of Art, his drawings use plants and a deeply personal iconography to explore physical and internal space. Flowers function as memories, markers of transformation, and maps toward healing, informed by—but not limited to—years of personal trauma. During his residency at Catwalk Institute, Holman will continue a series of large-scale drawings exploring resilience, recovery, and renewal through the metaphor of the river as both self and survival model. The resulting works will contribute to an upcoming exhibition tentatively titled The Resilience of Water / The Resilience of Memory.
