Ginny Duncan
Originally from Memphis,Tennessee, Ginny has found Baltimore to be a new home that combines a faster-paced urban environment with some familiar southern flavor. She is a senior fiber major at Maryland Institute College of Art with a concentration in experimental fashion, and often makes work about feminine identity in clothing, influenced by her exposure to ideals of southern femininity. With a background in sculptural work, she sees her work in smart textiles as a way to incorporate sculptural and mechanical structures into her garment and costume work.

Lurch and Holler
Lurch and Holler is E. Liz Downing and Michael R. Willis. Trying to save the world, they conjust healing vibrations by harmonizing with household appliances. They accompany these vibrations with banjo, guitar and sounds collected from their Baltimore backyards. Lurch and Holler have lately been inspired by the works of Homer, Flannery O’Conner, Edith Piaf and as always, they are moved to echo the grunts and cries of our common pre-human ancestors. The resulting music is Appalachian Psychedelia not so far from Lurch and Holler’s origin in 1985 Mystic Hillbilly Opera.
