Main Projects is pleased to present New Flesh, a two-person exhibition featuring new and recent work by Tori Mitchell and Amelia Baxter, both of whom received their MFAs from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2026.
Bringing together Mitchell’s oil paintings and Baxter’s ceramic sculptures, New Flesh considers how inherited images, histories, and bodily forms can be remade from the inside out. Mitchell draws from medieval art, religious imagery, myth, and folklore to construct a lesbian counter-history, while Baxter creates large-scale ceramic organisms whose patterned surfaces evoke creatures, organs, relics, and bodies in states of becoming.
Across both practices, the figure becomes a site of revision and transformation. Together, the artists present a world in which history, identity, and the body remain porous, unstable, and open to new forms.
