The talk of the Wynwood Gallery Walk last Saturday was the 'Emu Wear' art of Maria Fernanda Cardoso's show Mimicry at Bernice Steinbaum Gallery. Models glided by art patrons wearing hats, undergarments and socks made from emu feathers (and priced at $25,000 for the ensemble). Large-scale Lambda prints of the emu works filled the walls, including Rauna, pictured. Two hypnotic videos titled Stick insects on branch and Stick insects swaying on metal rod by Cardoso and Ross Rudesch Harley rounded off the wild show. Why focus on the emu? Cardoso, a Colombian artist who once called Miami home, now lives in Australia.

Mimicry runs through Oct. 4 at Bernice Steinbaum, 3550 N.Miami Ave., Miami; 305-573-2700; www.bernicesteinbaumgallery.com.
