Paper forms surface in Palpate

Who
Sally Hayden Gilmore is a Master of Fine Arts candidate in Fibers in the ASU Herberger College School of Art.

What
Sally Gilmore’s MFA thesis exhibition, Palpate features sculptural forms and relief collage drawings. Her work is based on the various aspects of sexuality and sexual cycles (seduction, arousal, fertility, impregnation, fertilization), while also referencing botanical life. Cast paper forms, some encrusted with surface textures and others left bare, reach out from the walls and hang from the ceiling in an effort to seduce the viewer.
