Skylar (Sky) Walker is a Black American artist from Atlanta, Georgia. Growing up in a city with a rich history of racial justice and Black culture, the city has inspired her to delve into a fantastical realm of Black self-exploration and liberation using art direction, sculpture, collage, and video installation. The fragmentation of figures in her work, executed by collaging parts of the body or casting parts of her body is analogous to the multifaceted nature of her lived Black experience. This fragmentation is not broken, but expansive, holding multiple truths of pain, joy, protection, fear, and hope all at once. These layered embodiments open a space where the self extends beyond the human form, attuning to the natural world around us. Through natural and cosmic imagery, whether it be the persistence of periwinkle flowers, the fluidity of the ocean, or the vastness of space, she consider liberating Blackness as something interwoven with the natural world. Her work is both an ode to history, honoring those who paved the way, while also a visualization of a future, offering glimpses of a Black world both within and beyond our immediate grasp, where paths toward freedom unfold across space and time.

She is currently working in Brooklyn, NY after obtaining a degree in Cultural Comparative Analysis at the University of Amsterdam after obtaining two degrees in Sociology and Art Practice at Stanford University. During her artist career, she has been a 2023 Institute for Diversity in the Arts Fellow and a 2024 Lyric McHenry Fellow. She has also exhibited work internationally; From the Bay Area to The Netherlands, her work has been featured in Good Mother Studio, SOMArts Center, and Bar Bario.
