About The Artist

Born in the Appalachian mountains of Kentucky to a Scotch-Irish-Cherokee family, Theo Edmonds, 42, started life as a champion clog dancer and went on to earn a law degree and a Master’s of Healthcare Administration from Tulane University in New Orleans. In 2004, the real “Theo” began to emerge again and step onto the road which he now finds himself. His work explores outsider positioning within the dominant cultural narratives and politics of representation. With a passion for continual exploration of cross-media practices, alternative contexts of production and new models for exhibition, his work deploys traditional as well as emerging conceptual/inter-disciplinary visual arts practices, film and experimental theatre genres with a special focus on poetry/music collaborations. He will complete his MFA at the University of Kentucky School of Art and Visual Studies in 2013.
