Artist: Debra Baxter
October 25, 2012 by Erin Fletcher
Debra Baxter creates the most awe-inspiring, surrealist sculptures; transforming alabaster into soft cloth-like forms and then bonding them to rigid pyrite or porous concrete. Playing with different materials and textures Debra creates objects almost alien as if unearthed from some foreign landscape.

Artist: Anne Lindberg
October 24, 2012 by Erin Fletcher
Thread is such a simple, common place object; lately, I’ve been enjoying the abundance of artist and crafters who have been pushing the limits of this versatile material. Anne Lindberg has been using thread to create linear drawings, ominous installations and massive sculptures. Her installation pieces appear to float in space as they freely pass through the gallery walls.

With a touch of photographic magic, Rune Guneriussen brings various inanimate objects to life; documenting their journey as they glide through forests and cascade down rocky landscapes. I certainly wouldn’t mind stumbling upon these illuminated creatures in the woods.

Artist Anne ten Donkelaar uses a lovely mix of materials: colored and grayscale printed floral images, embroidery floss, twigs and butterfly wings to create complex floral constructions and mended butterflies. Through collage Anne gives life to various exotic plants and lands aid to butterflies with broken wings through assorted means of flight.

Midwife/Middle School Science Teacher | San Antonio, TX | 3-Person Household (including dog) | First week after deciding to eat all local produce.
I think we all enjoy peeking into the lives of others, especially strangers. Through the series You Are What You Eat, photographer Mark Menjivar snaps a portrait of his subjects by simply opening their refrigerators. Mark gives us only the subject’s profession, location, size of household and a brief one line description as clues into their lives as we explore the contents of their fridge.

Artist: Kent Rogowski
October 11, 2012 by Erin Fletcher
In this series simply titled Bears artist Kent Rogowski turns the beloved, iconic stuffed bear into a raggedy, misshapen monster. Turning them inside out and posing them in a slumped and silly manner, each creature peers out with a curious soul through backwards plastic eyes.
