BFA '15

I can’t decide what I find more exciting – looking at this insanely weird and wonderful work, or reading the list of materials used. Let me elaborate: Nylon mesh tubing, wax, Q-tips, foam, shadow … latex, beeswax, ink, cotton twine, found wheel. This is the work of Philadelphia-based artist Joy Dilworth and it’s safe to say, I’m smitten.
