Ebony Joiner
Ebony Joiner is a multidisciplinary sculptor who was born in Lockport, NY and raised in Dearborn Heights, MI.

Ebony will receive her Bachelor of Fine…
David Ma
David Ma is an Asian-American-born interdisciplinary artist, raised in New York and Virginia. He navigates the mediums of Ceramic sculptures, Painting, and Video Performances, as he searches under the clutter of mainstream American culture to look for the vibrant, often complicated portrayals of Asian representation in American culture, swept by misconceptions and surface-level privileges. He uses traditional eastern decorative motifs to contemporary westernized self-concepts to collage various beliefs into a cluster fuck of who he is and how he relates to society.
Nina Molloy
Nina Molloy is from Bangkok, Thailand. Her practice attends to her local surroundings and the peculiar things that gather in it. Working primarily in painting, she is interested in how the medium––existing as material and illusion––possesses its own historically and materially specific capacities to produce effects out-side and in-side of us. Her layered process involves structuring surface, volume, light and shadow, color and transparency, to mediate the space between tactility and transcendence, where matter meets mythology. Narrative, then, comes not only from imagery but from particular formal/sensuous qualities.
Delia Pelli-Walbert
Delia Pelli-Walbert is a multidisciplinary artist from New York City, who uses clay, video, and found materials to pursue ideas of storytelling and archive. Working from existing data, as well as internal narrative, Delia creates literal and metaphorical vessels to contain her meticulous observations. Her work often concerns biologic/geologic balance and decay. She will receive her BFA from New York University in Spring 2022.

She is currently receiving her Bachelor of Fine Arts at New York University.

Through her work, she seeks to capture, challenge, and reinterpret the beautiful, the ugly, and the…
