Dreaming up creations that resemble a garden of earthly delights, filled with beauty, decay and poetry: Precious Okoyomon is a Nigerian-American artist who embraces dark and light, matter and impermanence. Their new exhibition is called "It's important to have ur fangs out at the end of the world" and the artist tells us why this new work has a fairytale quality, encouraging the viewer to open up to the softness at its heart.
