"Body Survived" Debut Solo Exhibition...

Commemorating my debut solo exhibition as an artist, "Body Survived" is archived below for viewer's convenience.

See below for more information about the exhibit.

Dates Shown: November 20-21, 2023

Location: San Jose State University Art & Design Building, Gale Antokal Gallery

A collection of 16 artworks (drawings, paintings, poems, & conceptual sculpture) composed from the over-arching experience

of a survivor of sexual assault. Serving as a diary to my experiences, "Body Survived" demonstrates the obstacles and uncertainty that follow after a deeply traumatic experience. From disruption of identity, facing physiological trauma, to impeding judgment from the public, and maintaining composure in court, "Body Survived" tells a visual story of the pain inflicted by not only my abuser, but others around me, and even myself.

A Debut Solo Exhibition
by Terynn McNairnie

This project meant a lot to me in terms of telling those around me what I had been through without experiencing every detail over agin. Just as I was asked to provide in the courtroom, I wanted visual and visceral proof of my experiences.
