Speaker
Kagen Sound
Kagen Sound has been a full-time puzzle box maker for 25 years. After studying math in college he gravitated towards the form as an expression of logic and riddles. His puzzle boxes have won numerous awards in the worldwide puzzle collecting community, and are considered an artform that intersects with mechanical puzzles and woodworking.
Yana Payusova
Yana Payusova was born in Leningrad, USSR. She received an MFA in Interdisciplinary Media Arts Practices from the University of Colorado, Boulder. Payusova’s paintings and sculptures blend the styles and symbols of folk art, icons, graphic poster art, illustration, and comics, and reflect both her cultural heritage and her training in traditional Russian realist painting. She exhibits both nationally and internationally.
