StudioMojo 520 • July 10, 2021 Polymer on lips and lapels
There must be a backlog of exhibits and awards that's about to burst. We're raking in the awards and setting up exhibits. Meredith Dittmar's exhibit languished in Mexican customs for three weeks, delaying her opening. Cynthia Toops measures social distancing. Polymer artists were recognized in the UK and in print with Loretta Lam's book bringing home the gold. What is it with lips lately? Puffy, pouty, wet-looking mouths sculpted polymer brooches are hitting lapels. Feels good to see our medium on the art world's radar.
