From Dougherty Arts Center:
“London Farris’ Swammer is a mixed media series reflecting her personal experience as a female swimmer, navigating body image, self-identity, and the unique challenges of club and collegiate swimming. The shift in color and tone within her work narrates different phases of her athletic journey—darker pieces created during the swim season convey the mental and physical toll of competition, while bolder, more vibrant works represent a retrospective appreciation of the sport. Through figurative compositions, rich textures, and layered research, Farris captures the resilience and beauty of female athletes, inviting viewers into the often-overlooked realities of an athlete’s everyday experience. “
