Guest Star Friday #78...Thesis Friends

 

Loring Taoka from "Whiteout"  

March 8-11, Cora Stafford Gallery, University of North Texas, Denton

I've been getting MFA thesis announcements from metalsmithing friends around the country so I thought I would share their remarkable work with all of you for today's Guest Star Friday. Each artist has created a body of work built around a singular concept developed through intense study of their craft. Although some shows have come and gone, a few are about to open...I have provided links with each photo and artist name so you can further explore their work.
