Welch employs material process and aesthetic to develop a narrative greater than the sum of its parts. Each mosaic composition seems to suggest a recounted myth, often embedded with culturally significant materials.
Welch has had recent solo exhibitions at Rental Gallery in 2018 and 2019, as well as a solo exhibition at Nino Mier Gallery in 2019. He was nominated for the Remarriages Hort Mann Emerging Artist Grant in 2016, and was the recipient of One River School’s Emerging Art Award in 2019.
