About the Artist-in-Residence
Oliver Lyric is a San Antonio, Texas based interdisciplinary artist holding a BFA from the University of Texas San Antonio. His work, while utilizing many mediums, focuses on trans and queer identity and experience while being in a conservative part of the country. He uses his work to express the internal and external facets of transness with unflinching vulnerability often pulling from his own experiences and using his body as a vehicle for his thoughts and feelings about being trans in America. He uses and mixes many mediums including fiber, ceramics, photo, books, print, video, and paint. His work often utilizes mending techniques to talk about creating identity and the internal processes of healing oneself.
He has had work in multiple shows around San Antonio at Brick at Bluestar as well as the University of Incarnate Word in their Circularity Sustainable Fiber Art show in 2024. He currently teaches classes on mending and sustainable sewing at the Creative Reuse Center of San Antonio.
