Everyone give a warm welcome to our second artist - Abbey Smart! ✨️

"I moved to Chicago in the hopes of finding out who I am as an artist. The compulsion to make things has never been stronger, and I can’t be grateful enough. I jump from medium to medium and have immersed myself into my sculptures, mixed media pieces, paintings, and tattoo flash over the years.

I wish for everyone to feel the pull of creating something with your own two hands.

The meditative act of cutting and glueing made all of these collages worth it and I hope you all enjoy them. Thank you to Wormhole and thank you, the viewer and coffee enjoyer, for stopping by. ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁˖ . ݁"

Hello sweet friends! ✨️ Introducing the FIRST artist of our new Wormhole Art Showcase, !
