615 S. Anderson Artists
Sek
Sek started painting and writing graffiti at the age of 16, and officially took on the name Sek at age 19. Known for his lyrical/text heavy, abstract, cubist style, along with his signature way of crossing out, rearranging and manipulating words and phrases, his work is very raw and loose, inspired by philosophy, mathematics, science, poetry, emotions and personal experiences. SEK explains, "I want my art to make people stop and actually stare at it. I want them to take it all in and have them work it out like a puzzle, or a math problem. As long as it makes someone feel something, and find they can relate to and walk away with something from it, then I know I have accomplished what I wanted."
At the Festival: Sek will be featuring a collection of paintings, and paper works as well as limited edition shirts.

AUWL Design
AUWL is a multi-disciplinary artist based in Los Angeles. Keoni, the designer behind AUWL, lets the process and materials inform the design finding motivation in creating a physical form from the ephemeral.
He has always seen the objects in his environment as having their own energy; seensing the animate in what most would consider inanimate. Subconsciously embodying the Golem tradition, he has a long history of creating robots with a rooted fascination in being able to make a creation that can continue on the kinetic energy of creating on its own.
At the Festival: They will be featuring their clothing, jewelry, accessories and light sculpture designs.
