Quayola Work from Captives (1) “Captives is an ongoing series of digital and physical sculptures, a contemporary interpretation of Michelangelo’s unfinished series “Prigioni” (1513-1534) and his technique of “non-finito”.

Alex Fischer Work from Dry Pixels and Wet Molecules at O’Born Contemporary. “Alex Fischer’s latest body of work counter-poses the primordial origins of biology against today’s dominant technology-based vernacular.

Delaney Allen Work from A Personal Nature. “Flickering like lusty visions of dreamscape temptation, the teasing glimpses of Delaney Allen’s hyper-saturated world are tempered by a mercuric foundation in a Darwinian timeline.
