Kinnord-Payton's immaculately crafted structures
recall stupas, cathedrals, and shrines. Blending
African, Asian, and European architecture with
natural forms such as hips, caves, and womb-like
forms, Kinnord-Payton speaks of celebrating “those
places that serve as the containers of our birth,
life, and passing." Kinnord-Payton takes
inspiration from her extensive travels throughout
northern Europe, Mexico, Ghana, China, and Japan.
She is based in New Orleans and is Assistant Professor
of Art at Xavier University.
This exhibition is sponsored by the William J.
