The Purification of Shelby Johnson is the thesis exhibition of Shelby Johnson (M.F.A. '23). The installation features crocheted dolls accompanied by a choir concert voiced solely by Johnson. A reflection on growing up gay in the Southern Baptist church, The Purification of Shelby Johnson exists in the breakdown between conservative religious hatred and queer joy.
