March 7th, 2014 – Julie Baldyga, “From the Large Sunglasses Series: Fuse Award”

Julie Baldyga works primarily in oil pastel. Many of her pieces depict women working on machines, engines, and motors. She is fascinated with electrical systems, and this focus on the way things work also applies to her soft sculptures— which are built from the inside out, so a sculpture of a person would have a liver and intestines inside, for example.

She also recently completed a large commission for the Big Ass Fan Company.
