Kerstein Audette
As both a member of the newly heralded “creative class”
and a card-carrying member of the HUCTW/AFSCME, Kerstein Audette
uses familiar objects to investigate the hidden economics
of desire from the art world to agriculture. Her installation
of photography, video, work on paper, and hydroponics poses
questions about a range of subjects including international
relations, social and cultural capital, biology, and end-user
consumption. |

Laura Johnston
Laura Johnston’s work is an exploration of landscape
in terms of a variety of framing devices – optical,
theoretical, and commercial. As a photographer from a young
age, she interprets the world in terms of her viewfinders.
There is a constant mediation between her ocular understanding
and technology. At a time when knowledge is gained more through
secondary measures than through primary experience, she is
concerned with the representation of landscape in a digital
age. What happens when the view is electric instead of human?

Thomas Macintyre
Thomas Macintyre’s images share a certain sensibility
dealing with loss and the photographic representation of loss.
What is not in the pictures becomes as important as what is
seen. The objects in the images represent the trace left when
a person leaves his/her body at the moment of death.

Tami Marks
In an installation of computer-generated images and handmade
drawings, Tami Marks explores various frames of imagery, text,
and craft, and the role frames play in our lives. The wooden
frames surrounding the papers serve primarily as an aesthetic
elevation for the sheets of paper. They also create another
aesthetic form, a sort of rectangular, non-permanent wallpaper
within the gallery space – that is, the space framing
art. Houses are the architectural frames where we live and
where we assume we are protected and free. Text frames abstract
thought, and pins are a temporary frame to be followed by
a permanent fixture or stitch. The work raises questions about
communication, meaning, context, truth, boundaries, and freedom
of choice.

Angel Tucker
Angel Tucker's still life photographs are rich compositions
that explore the concepts of renewal and decay. She achieves
this through a multi-layered interpretation of paintings by
19th century American painter Raphael Peale and 17th century
Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer. Her work becomes a new reading
of an old idea by introducing familiar subject matter to a
new audience in a different context. The relation of her striking
images to the past and the present deepens the view of ourselves,
our past, and the changing nature of our legacy.

Kaetlyn Wilcox
In her multimedia works on paper, Kaetlyn Wilcox paints a
fine line between the personal and the universal. She uses
autobiographical imagery to explore interconnected themes
of good and bad behavior, cultural ideals, identity, desire,
and repression. In each work, Wilcox combines surreal self-portraiture,
family photographic material, childhood artifacts, and children’s
book illustrations in a way that confounds singular interpretation.
The resulting images revel in their own ambiguity; they are
at once critical and nostalgic, whimsical and unsettling.
