Monday, November 24, 2008
this show opens on friday november 28th. 7 - 10pm all the work is by artists whose work focuses on mouths in some fashion. 2640 St. Paul, Baltimore MD come be gluttonous with us!
these pieces are more of the mouth instruments i've been making. materials include steel, copper, enamel, and lots of sheep and hog gut. i'm especially interested in exploring the dichotomy created by making beautiful, voluptuous forms out of a material that could be seen as repulsive.
Metalsmith living and working in Baltimore, MD. I received my BFA in Art from Texas State University - San Marcos and my MFA from Towson University. I create sculptural work that has a direct connection with the human body, specifically focusing on the boundary of the mouth and the different ways we breach that boundary. This work addresses issues surrounding consumption, control, sexuality/sensuality, and feminist issues of domesticity and body politics.
