Materials convey meaning and help viewers decipher artworks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emily Somoskey <\/strong>is a painter and collage artist who often uses a variety of media in her paintings on canvas. She writes, “I\u2019m interested in combining photographic imagery with abstract painting to weave together moments of clarity and ambiguity that both articulate, disrupt, and complicate a singular understanding of the work, similar to our own perceptions of the world. These two mediums have a very rich and separate history, both alluding to di\ufb00erent levels of ‘truth’ in their representation of an image. In bringing them together, I aim to create a pictorial space that allows the viewer to question the nature of what they\u2019re seeing, and to dwell in the ambiguity and uncertainty that lies on the surface and within our own minds.” <\/strong>She will present a slideshow of her work and speak about why she chooses to work with multiple media and and how it adds the layers of conceptual framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laura Cannamela <\/strong>writes, “My artworks suggest views of landscape at a time far in advance of the presence of humans, though remnants of the geological events they reference can still be observed in our environment today. Displaying a balance between the delicacy of the layers and the robustness of the forms, these works remind us of both the fragility and the perseverance of nature in our Anthropocene Age.” Cannamela will speak about \u201cProcess Collage,\u201d a proposed new collage taxonomy appellation and how it relates to the materiality of artists like Ji\u0159\u00ed Kol\u00e1\u0159, Noriko Ambe, Andrea Burgay, Mark Bradford, Jemima Wyman, her own work, and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Artists Suzanne Greenberg <\/strong>and Emily Denlinger <\/strong>will discuss the materials they each incorporate into their creative work. They will reflect on their artistic process and how the materials and media incorporated can be a source of their inspiration. Walking the audience through the type of images and which materials will best communicate their visions and messages. They will discuss how they source and combine different media into their artworks and how they preserve their work through archival processes. Denlinger\u2019s most recent series, “Gain of Function: New Mutation”, was created in response to research surrounding the intersections of the military-industrial complex, ecology, simulations, mutations, and futurology. Within this body of work there are several sets of different types of collage images which may be viewed and enjoyed individually but are intended to be viewed together, to reinforce and enhance each other’s meaning. Greenberg celebrates access to global art materials, fabrics and images and transforms them into powerful illustrations of shared sensuality and humanity. In her artwork, she cherishes the imprint of the hand, the imperfect, nontechnical way of making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
