Featured artists FASTWÜRMS will lead a tour spotlighting their work in the International Ceramic Art Fair (ICAF). They are represented by Paul Petro Contemporary Art in Toronto.
FASTWÜRMS, the cultural project and trademark of Kim Kozzi and Dai Skuse, is a unique polymorphous and poly-disciplinary mutualism. FASTWÜRMS’ raku work is actualized witch art. Truth and flawed beauty emerge from the event horizon of chaos and destruction.
About the Artists
Formed in 1979, FASTWÜRMS is a joint authorship, they/them artist, and a creative witch-queer polity. FASTWÜRMS’ praxis is poly-disciplinary mutualism, imagining new ways of making and being in the world. FASTWÜRMS has exhibited art installations, textile and ceramics, video and film projects, across Canada and in the United States, United Kingdom, Spain, Italy, France, the Netherlands, Germany, Latvia, Brazil, Cuba, Korea, Iceland, and Japan. FASTWÜRMS received the Governor General’s Award in 2023.
