Hello Friends! This week's artist is an amazing metalsmith and artist named Qil Jones, here is a little more about them - Bio: Qil is an Afrofuturist metalbender & machinewitch from West Philly. Their jewelry line, BLACKMARZIAN, is based on a contemporary visualization of Black liberation. Through it, they center the creation of speculative ornamentation for the expression of Black liberatory vocations. They work with a combination of desktop CNC machinery and various metal forming tools in order to articulate their vision. Website: www.blackmarzian.com
