Sara Dierck
- “Man Without Flight”
- Color Photo Print
Sara Dierck - recently featured in Kitchen Sink Magazine. “Sara’s photographs seem to stop time at a really normal moment, and by forcing you to look at it, makes it feel sort of dislodged from its context, and thus seem abnormal, or supranormal, really; What would normally be minor break-downs in rather unconscious daily activities take on their own kind of autonomy–they freeze the intervals within successful on-going coping to show just how close we’re always coming to simply staring at some funny little thing that didn’t go the way we expected.” Or at least that’s what Sara’s friend Nate said. Raised in Washington State, Sara Dierck received her Bachelor of Fine Arts at the San Francisco Art Institute in 2002. She currently lives in New York City.

Eve Mosher
- “Dissemination”
- sculpture
I use my artwork to recreate my own wilderness. using artificial and often mundane materials, i am attempting to replace the nature that we have lost with manmade natural forms. Many of the pieces utilize the process of craft, emphasizing the artist’s hand in the creation of these forms. many of them are realized as seed pods or fungus, all the catalysts to repossess the environment.

Annie Vought
Our lives are controlled by by billions of elephants in the room. To name few: Germs, pollen, parasites, love, god, fear, seeds, neutrinos, atoms, neutrons, carbon-dioxide, hydrogen, space, the universe, gravity. and on and on. Without just one of these things, our lives would be profoundly different, if not nonexistent. For the majority of us these things are intangible, We read about some of them in science magazines, we experience many of them first hand, by getting sick, and falling or love. Others we never we never think about. I paint what I imagine all those things to look like. I paint the parasites that cause rats to loose their fear of cats, I paint the dust that travels from africa to california, i paint cancer, and I paint the visceral experience of painting. In the end we explain to ourselves all that we can’t see. Some choose science, others religion or politics, art, or all of the above, I am explaing what I imagine to be true visually, because isn’t that what painters have always done?
