Clio Herbert’s BFA thesis exhibition was originally scheduled from April 13–17 in the Oliver Art Center on CCA’s Oakland campus. Due to the Bay Area’s COVID-19 shelter-in-place order, we are sharing work by Clio and other graduating students on CCA’s website and social media channels. 

Artwork by Clio Herbert will be featured on CCA's official social media channels, including Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn, starting April 27 at 5pm PDT. 

ARTIST STATEMENT

We each have our own set of personal armor, built up over time through our encounters with others. The intentions of this armor is to keep us safe. These pieces look at the relationship between this armor and our human need for connection with others. Together they form a dichotomy, while also being fundamentally related. This is seen through the enactment of the pieces on the wearers.
