“Ramesh Mario Nithiyendran creates rough-edge vibrant, new age idols that are at once enticing and disquieting. He experiments with form and scale in the context of figurative sculpture to explore the politics of sex, the monument, gender, and religion.”
Jessika Edgar, Used and Abused, 2015, 55 x in 23 in x 16 in, Ceramic and glaze, microcrystalline
“Jessika Edgar’s work is an exploration of representation through the idea of formlessness. She is interested in expanding this idea into relationship with socially constructed identity and its value while referencing contemporary popular culture and perception and influences of mass media influences that propagate consumption.”
