Victor Edwards - BFA Sculpture, Spalding University moved to Chicago after graduating with a thirst for experience in sculpture.  He interned at Forrest Boone Studios and is a studio monitor at Chicago Industrial Arts and Design Center.  He is creating new work at Park West Ceramics and is a member of South Side Hackerspace where he creates 3D modeling projects.

He states: “I find the stories of artists like Richard Hunt and Nick Cave particularly inspiring, artists whose work is inseparable from the rich and influential nature of Black Chicago culture. Chicago is the city I feel the most at home in and this opportunity would undoubtedly be integral in my emerging artist career… As an artist, my goal is to create spaces and figures to nestle into the collective unconscious. For me, living is a complex and overwhelming thing; I have many conflicting opinions about life. I cycle between being in a state of awe and wonder about all living and being detached, in a state of reflection. I am just one person, and I am riddled with hypocrisy and inconsistency.
