Artist Spotlights
Carson Fox
“The stand-alone sculptures are more improvisational as they are made, and I may work on them for months before they are resolved, cutting things off and fussing with the surfaces. Installations are more directed, as I usually have a vision for what it should be and it is a matter of making the pieces that will create it.”
Valeria Divinorum
“A major theme in my work is the human connection with nature and the organic expressions that emerge from that relationship. In flowers, fractal patterns appear and geometric compositions become apparent. Through these geometric patterns we can witness the perfect balance of life and creation.”
Rachel Stern
“My grandfather who escaped Austria after Kristallnacht lived by his motto, ‘Life is tragic. Enjoy it.’ I try to do the same and so what could be a more urgent subject for my work than a reminder (to myself or to anyone else) that, like the cut flower, the journey from life to death has already commenced and to seize whatever opportunities for joy or productivity or curiosity or even heartbreak we might encounter.”
Dante Migone-Ojeda
“In a certain sense, the fire has become another artist's tool for me as I've started to learn how to predict how and where the wood will burn, and I really lean into that control. At the same time, fire is fire, you know? So it can be really hard to know exactly what it will look like.”
