St. Paul-based artist Liz Sexton expands her papier-mâché mask series with marine-themed sculptures, depicting walruses, manatees, and polar bears on dry land. Using accessible materials like cloth, wire, and acrylic paint, she crafts lifelike, wearable pieces for her solo exhibition Out of Water at the Minnesota Marine Art Museum. Partnering with photographer Ben Toht, Sexton highlights species threatened by climate change, capturing them in unexpected settings like grocery stores and laundromats to underscore the fragile balance between human environments and aquatic ecosystems.
