Studio visit: Alexis McGrigg Examining themes of identity, space and black existence, the contemporary artist works in a variety of media including layered paintings using dye and charcoal to explore ideas of Blackness as a multidimensional entity When Alexis McGrigg (b. 1989) was a young girl, she would sit on the front porch of her home in Omaha, Nebraska, and think that ‘somehow there was an alternate space I was supposed to exist in’. After graduating with a BFA in painting from Mississippi State University in 2012, she studied for an MFA at Texas Tech University. And when that childhood memory resurfaced, she began to relate the notion of an alternate space to the ideas she had started to develop on the subject of black existence and how it manifests in physical and non-physical forms.
