catherine bowen
Catherine Bowen’s attention to physical surface and illusion of space encourage the viewer to
compare an understood physical reality to a geometric construct of perfectly measured symmetry. Her
painted surfaces play with thin, residual marks and thicker, built marks. She received her MFA from
the Massachusetts College of Art and has taught extensively at area universities, most recently receiving a
Certificate of Distinction in Teaching from Harvard University. She lives and works in Somerville. |

matt brackett
Taken from his We All Have Something to Do series, Matt Brackett uses ambiguous action and metaphors from
his carpentry trade to explore both familial demolition and reconstruction in settings from his late grandmother’s
childhood home. His paintings emerge from a stream of consciousness sketching process and evoke a narrative uncertainty.
Earlier this year he completed a residency at Yaddo in Saratoga Springs, NY and a two-person exhibition at The Art
Complex Museum, Duxbury, MA. He received a BA from Yale University and lives and works in Somerville. |

in 2004 and holds a BFA from the Massachusetts College of Art. She lives in Somerville.

jennifer erbe
Jennifer Erbe’s Polaroid photographs investigate “what can just be seen.” Visual
echoes are formed by allowing the objects to create their own personal dialogues. Erbe has studied at the
Art Institute of Boston and the San Francisco School of Art, and has received a diploma from the School of
the Museum of Fine Arts. She has recently participated in group exhibitions at Muskat Studios, Boston and
lives in Somerville.

miriam goodman
Miriam Goodman’s series of elevator portraits frame the picture-taking occasion in space and
time–the elevator’s architecture provides a visual frame and the journey
up or down constraints the time in which the picture can be taken. Goodman, a poet, editor, and photographer,
has participated in area group exhibitions at the Griffin Museum of Photography and the Cambridge Art Association.
She studied in the Photography Atelier program of the Radcliffe and Lesley Seminars and in the Evening Workshop
Program of the New England School of Photography. She lives and works in Somerville.

alice grossman
The places in Alice Grossman’s photographs have a mysterious life of their own and seem to
have the hyper-real immediacy of dreams. They are at once specific and universal and suggest conventions
of 19th century landscape painting through a 21st century lens. She is a 2005 recipient of a Visual Art
Fellowship from the Somerville Arts Council. Grossman holds a BFA from the Massachusetts College of Art
and has studied at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts. She lives in Somerville.
This project is funded in part by a grant from the Somerville Arts Council, a local agency supported by the
Massachusetts Cultural Council.
