Charles McTyere Parker: Material Witness
Closing Reception
Charles McTyere Parker

Friday, September 4, 2026
5–9 p.m.

In Material Witness, Charles McTyere Parker’s work rejects the passive surface. Operating within the style of material abstraction, his practice relies on a physical dialogue with found and repurposed materials — textiles, paper, and occasionally paint—that remain visibly in flux. Rather than offering a transparent window onto the world, Parker treats the work as a site of documentation, layering texture, depth, and everyday artifacts to explore themes of isolation, memory, and structural decay. The result is an introspective, tactile experience where the boundary between the medium and the message dissolves.

Charles McTyere Parker is a Memphis native who has lived and worked in Knoxville since 2022. He creates his work from his Old City loft, which serves as his studio, gallery, and the home he shares with his son, Jude. For years, Parker has been involved with the close-knit Memphis filmmaking community, and he recently completed shooting his directorial debut short film, Sketch for Summer, on location in Memphis at the end of July.

Circle of the Sacred Feminine 🌹
Join us at Gypsy Hands Healing Arts Center on Sunday, August 9, for Circle of the Sacred Feminine, a guided gathering designed to help participants reconnect with their voices, energy, intuition-and inner sense of strength.
Facilitated by Wendy Smith and Susie Dew, the circle will include energy work, breathwork, reflection, and open conversation. The gathering is intended for women who want to build community, take time for self-care, and share sisterhood-listening to themselves and exploring connection with one another through reflection and conversation.
The gathering will move between introspective moments and group exchange: connecting with the breath, the physical body, and the energy body; engaging in practices such as an energy ball exercise; and using the voice for somatic release through sound.
Participants will have the opportunity to speak and listen in the larger group and pairs or trios-creating connection. Time will be held at the close for informal conversation.
Wendy Smith is a Reiki master, yoga instructor, and energy worker who believes in the power of presence, healing, and the divine light.
Susie Dew is a wellness practitioner whose work includes functional nutrition, herbalism, breathwork, and shamanic energy healing. She is devoted to helping women reconnect with their bodies, intuition, and wisdom.
This is not a seminar or lecture, but a sate space to participate, to be heard, and to grow through shared experience and wisdom.
Wendy and Susie provide guidance, helping maintain balance so that each participant has the opportunity to be witnessed, while also offering tools that can support daily life.
Wendy and Susie will guide participants through an experience of reflection, connection, and discovery, with room to contribute-and leave feeling more grounded.
Koha (Donation): $30 (Limited to 11 participants. Pre-registration is required.)
To Register: Please email Wendy Smith at [email protected]
