Make Do @ Cobra Room Gallery
This is an exhibition that explores resourcefulness, adaptation, memory, and the creative possibilities of working with what’s already at hand. Loosely inspired by the ideas of value, usefulness and inheritance in Alice Walker’s Everyday Use, this exhibition considers the ways ordinary things can carry extraordinary meaning.​​
​
Artists are invited to consider making do as both a practical act and a creative strategy. This might take the form of working with limited materials, finding new uses for familiar objects, transforming domestic imagery, exploring family histories, questioning where we place value, or considering the resourcefulness and ingenuity found in everyday life.

Curator’s Statement:
Antonia B. Larkin (b. Germany, 1990) is a multidisciplinary sculptor based in Savannah, Georgia. She works with various materials, including clay, dirt, flowers, fiber, and video. Her artwork is not designed for entertainment; instead, it seeks to pause and respond to themes of memory, ritual, and Black interior worlds. Through her slow, layered materials, ambient imagery, and sound, she invites a sense of presence, care, and a subtle unfolding into intimate spaces.
She received her BFA in Studio Art from Georgia Southern University in 2013 and her MFA in Sculpture from Cranbrook Academy of Art in 2016. Since then, she has exhibited her work nationally in cities such as Chicago, Illinois; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; and Montgomery, Alabama.
