Pat Vivod
"Art in this show is of the earth...organically printed-an outdoor printing process that puts my fabric in direct contact with natural materials such as walnuts, berries, fruits, tea and rust."
|
Michele Katz-Reichlin
"My goal is to create compelling abstract forms and surfaces rather thatn communicate any particular narrative or message."
|
|
|
Elizabeth Adams-Marks
"Inspired by the Cornish landscape and knowledge gained through my abstract paintings, my latest handmade paper constructions were created with flax and abaca paper pigmented, dyed, stitiched and textured in the elements of coastal paths, pebbled beaches, disused tin maines, china clay mines, brightly colored fishing boats, windswept moors and the ever-changing atmosphere of the sea."
|
Brandon Hayes
"When I was chosen to participate in the Elements Gallery, I immediately thought of the element of time. Abandoned and forgotten places are some some of my favorite subjects to photograph. These places are slowly passing through time with no recognition...Beauty in unlikely places..."
|
Robert Longyear
"I use neglected structures as my raw material. In this way, I am able to reveal their hidden construction, provide new ways of perceiving space and create metaphors for the human condition."
|
Joan Powell
"I've been experimenting with Naked Raku method of making pots. I love the way the elements from nature burn and smoke, caressing the skin of the pots with shadows of their shapes...reflecting the marks of aging, time passing."
