LOCATED IN SWEENEY GALLERY (3RD FLOOR) Emily Verdoorn Through drawing, I form vital relationships with the world of my everyday experience. My process often begins by drawing on location.

LOCATED IN THE SMALL WALL GALLERY (3RD FLOOR) I think of these works as inklings, for their humble beginnings as tiny ink doodles, and for those small, nagging ideas, fears, and behaviors that have the power to become reality – whether beautiful or monstrous in their realization. The earliest works date back to 1997, when my mother was diagnosed with Huntington’s Disease. They represent the management of multiple internal struggles – first with my own body image and the desire…

LOCATED IN THE COMMUNITY GALLERY Ange Altenhofen "Metaphorical function" is a term I use to describe my work, dovetailing sculptural form with the innate potential for usefulness and interaction that every three-dimensional object possesses. In this scenario function follows form, recycling art into a prosaic, functional object that is activated through touch and let loose in the world. I tend to think that inanimate objects have "souls", or at least earn something akin to a soul as they get used…

Sometimes they just burn. I see in these material states of transformation a way to discuss inner experience, but I also…

Theater of The Absurdo LEON RICHMOND
LOCATED IN COMMUNITY GALLERY Artist Statement Why is when, and now is why, and we will ALWAYS want, AND all is “What the holy crap!” Never has this been an obstacle for lucid critical or crucial thought for whom the dummbbbell tolls in the skies of material wantonness.

A dancer wears a motion-sensing remote directing Manibus to render an artistic depiction of elapsed time and motion. Using this tool, I capture and translate the movement and visceral dynamics of dance into painted works of art. I facilitate collaborative processes as a director combining the necessary components…

LAYERS OF REALITY: ANDREW CLARRIDGE AND MATTHEW TERRY
Artist Statements Andrew Clarridge “My work is an endeavored process culminating out of experiences many or all of us have had in our lives. I like to focus on an array of issues such as technology and its psychological effects, enslavement, love, loss, death, renewal, enlightenment and empowerment. These are broad topics that have deep historic layers from which to sift through. The “layers” of inspiration are ambiguously related to the layers I build up in each piece. The digital…

WHAT’S THE BUZZ? [explorations in handmade paper]: Dawn Wohlford
Artist Statement: I could be the Poster Child for the slogan “Reuse, Reduce, Recycle.” Handmade paper is the basis for the majority of my artwork, but I often incorporate, weave or build using other found materials. I use old clothes, dead plants, shredded money, and items such as old doormats (made of natural fibers) to make paper pulp. I cast or incorporate pieces of rusty metal, vintage glass, bicycle inner tubes, leather and anything else that catches my eye. Pieces…

[unTITled]: how a breast cancer survivor learned to say goodbye to her boobs
Co-curated with Tiffany Antone, who recently went through breast cancer and a double mastectomy, this exhibit will offer space for community, connection, and healing through conversations around breast cancer and breast removal. Tiffany, and a community of artists with shared experiences of breast cancer, will showcase visual, literary, and performance artwork, and the Octagon will invite community members to participate in interactive art-making opportunities. This exhibit will interrogate our cultural obsession with breasts, bring light to the sometimes fraught (and oft-times under-realized) connection we have to them, and give voice to the myriad complicated feelings that comes with letting them go.
