Sculpture alum Florian Okwu creates imagined idols, beings, and creatures that populate his inner world. Okwu’s practice draws on fascinations with anthropology, archaeology, and the natural sciences, which he expresses, materially, through “instinct”—the drive to nurture belief systems, ornamentalize our lives, and imprint our identities onto our surroundings.

Stay tuned for more alumni features highlighting RISD graduates who are shaping culture and industry in bold, unexpected ways.

Sunday was a wonderful opening to RISD Emerging: Recent Alums from Rhode Island School of Design on Martha’s Vineyard! Here’s **some of the work. As is always the case, RISD alums exceed expectations, inspire marvel and joy, and incite conversation and curiosity. I (and we) are so thankful for them all! The work is tagged so you may follow the artists. In the next post, I’ll share pictures of the event. So much good energy, joy and admiration! Go, go, RISD alums, go! I’m so thrilled to introduce this work and our precious institution to people on the island. And I’m grateful to Featherstone for their partnership! @risd1877 @risdalumni @featherstonecenterforthearts
