Caryatid
Kevin Kao is a sculptor and professor of art at Furman University. His Caryatids series, inspired by figures at the Acropolis in Athens, Greece, started as an exploration of hair forms on faces, but his current conversation-starting pieces delve into complicated ideas on identity, objectification, and otherness. Find him at kevinkao.com.
