where the sun shines, 2023, Solo Exhibition, Harvey B. Gantt Museum

where the sun shines is an immersive dreamworld created by Stephanie J. Woods. The artist transports the viewer between nowhere and everywhere, like a liminal space enveloping the senses. In this world, the sun always shines, the walls whistle, and Venus and Serena Williams play a never-ending tennis match in the sky. Inspired by the yellow walls of her childhood bedroom and the message Woods wrote on her bedroom door, where the sun shines is a new body of work that contains photographs, sculptures, textile works, and an immersive floor and video installation.
