I am a Minneapolis-based textile artist making work about ecstatic joy and togetherness.
“Dancing with Friends” embraces the kinetic joy of parades - colorful streams of moving bodies celebrating themselves in community with others, claiming and proclaiming their identities and values. This large-scale banner features silhouettes of me and my friends painted onto sheer cloths, intertwined, embroidered, beaded, and stitched together. It hangs loosely in the space, moving on the currents of circulating viewers, inviting them to join the dance.

Charles Bentley is a Philadelphia raised, Brooklyn based, multi-media artist. His art practice consists of digital editing, acrylic painting, analog collage, and sculpture. Charles' primary body of work, which he has been developing since 2018, is iterative exploration of the human form combined with natural world motifs. This combination of themes acts as a visual metaphor for the simultaneous growth and decay of the elements of an individual's personality. The life cycle of these works starts digitally with found imagery. These images are then manipulated digitally, either to their final form, or are then used as the basis for paintings or multi-media works.

The watercolor paintings by Amelia Biewald reflect her research into Renaissance eating and banquet culture..

Folklore traditionally tells of women as victims, domestic and unsophisticated and often powerless.

My krivopeta live beyond the world they experienced as real humans.

Inspired by old topographical maps to plan out my paintings, similarly I used women curves as high and low points on the map, creating a guide to their highest most peaks, and inner most valleys. With these paintings I want to show women that their shape should be viewed graciously, much like the earth around us.

Lindsey (Lou) Howard’s work explores how food operates in our political, social, and cultural environment. Primarily working in ceramics, her sculptures engage with contemporary food politics, revealing food’s entanglements with environmental justice, capitalism, consumption, and sustainability. Howard’s food piles and food towers merge culturally defined “desirable” or “indulgent” foods to draw attention to American consumption practices and the often intertwined emotions of desire, pleasure, addiction, and guilt. These works not only physically evoke architectural or structural models of nutrition, but also capture the ostentatious spectacle of food trends and foodie culture that is largely promoted through social media and national marketing campaigns. Howard’s maximalist sculptures attempt to illuminate the standardized wasteful disposal practices and marketing strategies of the corporate food and restaurant industry. Howard asks us to reconsider the various relationships to food, ultimately revealing how industry, capitalism, and identity affect these relations.

I am a figurative painter interested in the unconscious awareness of environmental destruction as it exists within, and by consequence of, the human body. I work primarily with oil, acrylic, and pastel. Through viewing my work, I encourage one to consider their connection to other people, our environment, and the subconscious shared space art operates within, as equally precious.

BASED: After spending time painting the people and landscapes of Seoul, Vancouver, and Queens, I have returned to my home in the rust belt of Northeast Indiana to contemplate the connections between these particular decaying environments and our bodies.

FAVORITE RESTAURANT: Firefly Coffee House in Fort Wayne, IN

SECRET TALENT: Playing the trumpet

My concept shows how things and objects communicate with us after they’ve been through time, destruction and desolation. As if you dig out a picture from the ground after it’s been there for eternity (maybe it was there long time before our civilization or after us) and now you look at it and it still has relevance. By looking at it I want you to know that it’s been a long time since we’ve met but nothing has changed for you. It’s still the same you in a different world with the same questions and pressing issues.

SECRET TALENT: I can win ANY thumb wrestle and I also make really good guac

I seek to invoke a sense of surprise or contradiction through the consideration of constructed photographs that occupy liminal spaces between artifice and truth, imagination and the real, and mimesis and the origin. My work starts with temporary constructions of still-life objects that I juxtapose with kitsch. I think of kitsch in terms of its 19th-century Victorian roots, as defined by Celeste Olaquiaga in The Artificial Kingdom, as myth or melancholic curiosities that simultaneously evoke desire and comfort while masking denial and loss.
