I'm fascinated by the power and sway of symbols, for a symbol's power is measured not by its own strength, but by the investment we make in it. I deal largely in totemic imagery; laden with cultural meaning, yet open enough for the viewer to saddle with their personal interpretation. Drawing on elements of Le Movement Fantastique, the school of modern Ecoart, as well as aspects of Social Scultpure, I seek to turn the viewers gaze inwards on a cultural scale by developing worlds replete with the good and bad that comes with all of it.

Sarah Moran

I am interested in how we interact with our memories. I go back to familiar places like central park, my mom's TV, my oldest friends and take photographs and make drawings based on reactions to the space or situation. Sometimes the images are very literal, other times they become more abstract or metaphorical. It keeps me guessing and engaged because I never know how the work will turn out. More »

I am fascinated by the symbolic and conflicted roles of food and sexuality within the female consciousness, particularly as they highlight a disconnect between the raw, corporeal aspects of our humanity and culture's expectations of gender roles and performance. More »

Throughout my life, I've been surrounded by invincible women. Either through loss or gain, they have been overcoming life's hurdles with a constant sense of determination and positive pride. Hurdles are the variable, strength is the control. More »

Austin Power

I am interested in showing the difficulty and discomfort in fully understanding a person. I leave my subjects incomplete to highlight their limitations, as well as my own inability to see the subject beyond the influence of myself. More »

Gabriella Marino

I have no idea why I do what I do. Don't get me wrong, I love what I do, I'm just afraid of it; I'm afraid of the honesty and the intent that comes out of my work. I never realize what I am intending to do until after the piece is completed. My family, my friends, my loves, my frustration, whatever is relevant in my life comes forth in my work; and many times it is unrenowned to me. This has now become my new form of communication, one that I did not discover until fairly recently. Whenever I show people my work I feel as though I am talking to them; whatever it is that I am saying, that is completely up to the viewer. More »

Beka Goedde

Brooklyn-based artist Beka Goedde studies movement as: 1. the natural decay of structural material, 2. a landscape of growth and continuation, 3. light and tactile perception, 4. patterns of thought, and 5. equilibrium. She received her B.A. from Columbia University, Barnard College [Sept 2000-May 2004] with a concentration in Behavioral Neuroscience and Philosophy. Her thesis work focused on the sense of touch, specifically a non-dualist way of conceiving of the space of one's body and the space surrounding oneself, on both a phenomenal and neurophysiological level.

Amy Ni Pan

For better or worse, feminism has been a driving force behind my work. I want to make art as a form of social engagement. The imagined bodies in my paintings are not simply pleasing objects for the viewer's gaze; rather, they attempt to provoke unexpected thoughts and feelings. More »

Nicholas Bohac

My work for the last few years has grown from wanting to create paintings that address where the landscape ends and where humanity begins. I blend acrylic paint, silkscreen prints and other materials together in compositions that address everything from gathering resources to altering the earth. These works are both about how we have already impacted our surroundings as well as how we are continuing to affect where we live. This work isn't about a post human landscape, but instead a human impacted landscape. Specifically, the work is about how we control nature and how nature, in turn, controls us. More »

Gabriela Herman

Since I began photographing, I have always insisted on being in front of the lens, becoming part of the construction of my images. In a way, taking self portraits has become my therapy; an exclusive dialog between me and the camera, where everything else around disappears; partners embarking on a creative journey. I have since tried to incorporate that secret dialogue while shooting other subjects, using photography as a vehicle to get close and allow subjects to feel comfortable enough to open up. Photography is certainly as much about the process as the final image. More »

Mónica Félix

One lifetime is not enough. I'm always on the search to create images that permit me to defy time and live new moments, a universe of possibilities in the restricted viewfinder of the camera. I create my photography work, through the exploration of telling the stories of what moves the interior and inevitably the exterior of the human experience, all this dressed up by the position of being a woman, a Caribbean woman, an island-woman. The voyage in this sense results indispensable to change routes, to give space for the fortuitous. More »

Rachel Rossin

Rossin's work deliberately skirts the blind alleys of realism in favor of scenic symbolism. She tells the truth of the matter by way of fictionalized scenes-magical, spirited prospects alive with barking foxes; ripe, fallen fruit; the splayed tail feathers of coy birds; and pert flora. More »

Janis Finkelman

My work makes unreal out of the real. It is a fantasy built from concrete plant structures, microscopic organisms, astronomical phenomena, visceral arrangements. I revel in the precise, calculable order of the natural world and simultaneously subvert it by turning it on its head, pseudopod, flagellum, or exoskeleton. I enjoy investigating that which is at once grotesque and beautiful. More »
