Josh Orion Kermiet
@ Fontanelle Gallery
Midori and Josh have brought a vibrance to Fontanelle by creating works of gouache paintings and plaster objects, screen-printing and marbling, collage in multiple dimensions (!!!!), as well as an installation located in the central area of the gallery that "evokes a scientific menagerie of planets, cellular structures, and cosmic space debris".
