DescriptionRadio Sebastian sees “the void” not as containing nothing, but as containing the basis for everything, as a space where everything is possible and has already happened. It is the space in which everyone's creativity and power exist and from which we can glimpse moments of what is possible. This piece comprises a series of books torn open to reveal polymer clay sculptures. Radio Sebastian is a collaboration between artists Yumiko Blackwell and Corwin Levi.
