Selected Works

Alison Angley

Close-up photograph of a layered and folded piece of dyed cheesecloth or gauze. The fabric features varying blue, purple, and green pigments. The weave is loose and open, with frayed edges, displayed against a dark, contrasting background.

Myles Braverman

Landscape photograph from the perspective of a two-lane paved road. The road has yellow center lines and white shoulder lines, curving toward the right. It is flanked by a gravel shoulder and a mix of deciduous trees with red and orange autumn foliage on the left, and coniferous trees on the right. Power lines and wooden poles run along the right side under a pale sky.

Celia Buetens

Expressive oil painting with a vibrant red and red-violet background and table surface. The central composition features two abstracted vessel forms—a small light-green pitcher and a larger red bowl with a pink foot—rendered with visible, blocky brushwork and layered pigments.

Maria DiBari

Photograph of a white paper or card prototype, featuring a series of overlapping step-like layers that form a central spine. The structure extends from a blurred foreground towards a sharp, pointed top, against a dark black background. The cuts and layers suggest a model for architectural or folded design.

Colin Flood

Close-up view of a hand holding an object, featuring taped knuckles and fingertips with white and red chalk. The tape is layered over the red skin of the middle and index fingers, showing texture and dust. The object is a white, fibrous mass, potentially cotton or gauze, next to a rough, darker surface.

Katy Jane Hardenbergh

Macro photograph of a light grey stone or plaster surface. The material is carved with deep, rhythmic undulating ridges that mimic water ripples or organic folds. Several small, raised circular nodules are integrated into the textured lines, with faint red pigment visible within the recessed grooves.

Vivian Hu

Vertical abstract print showing symmetrical branching forms rendered in deep red ink on a background with a light yellow to green gradient. The print features fine engraved lines forming intricate, bark-like textures across the surface.

Owen Kany

Abstract oil painting with a square format, featuring a pattern of interlocking lines and shapes in earth tones, including tan, brown, black, dark green, and a central circular form with white. The heavy application of paint shows clear canvas texture.

Elodie Koo

Frontal view of a hand-sculpted clay form, with numerous irregular facets and tool marks. The surface is raw and textured with visible pinholes and grooves, tapering towards a base. The object is centered against a solid light blue-grey background.

Molly Lakritz

Black and white candid portrait of a young woman with voluminous, curly hair sitting on a wooden deck. She is wearing a light-colored t-shirt and looking directly at the camera with a neutral expression. The background features vertical wooden slats of a deck railing, slightly out of focus.

Shayna Purow

Oil painting of a lavender-pink abstract background with raised, impasto texture and colorful specks. On the left is raised lettering that reads, 'A box of crayons, clouds were pink, stion their position, iverse, self enough, her mouth and gets to me first.' on the right is an abstracted figure with an outstretched form.

Julia Reilly

A horizontal composition featuring a translucent, frosted white material layered over a base surface. A delicate botanical illustration of a branch with buds and small leaves is printed in a muted red or terracotta ink. The layering creates a soft-focus, depth-of-field effect where parts of the image appear sharp and others are obscured by the milky overlay.

Alex Reitman

Painting of a stylized blue figure with multiple arms, positioned against a gilded arch with a golden halo. The figure sits amidst green and yellow water and smoke forms, accompanied by two yellowtail tuna, one on the left and one at the base. The composition combines gold leaf application with painted sections.

Anna Reynolds

A landscape photograph of a dark, jagged volcanic rock formation bordering a calm pool of water. A group of four people in swimwear are positioned on the rocks near the water's edge. A single, tall palm tree stands on the left horizon under an expansive, heavy grey sky with dense cloud cover.

Charlotte Turner

Black and white photograph of a person in a profile view, wearing a knit beanie and a heavy jacket. They are looking down while holding a professional cinema camera equipped with a large shotgun microphone. The scene is indoors with a rustic, log-cabin style wall and a bright, overexposed window in the background providing strong rim lighting.

Lexi Villamin

Graphic illustration in a pop-art comic style titled "ECHO & NARCISSUS." The upper right features a large, blue-toned close-up of a woman’s face with a single tear. A thought bubble reads: "WILL HE EVER LOVE ME THE WAY HE LOVES HIMSELF?" Below, a small purple-toned figure kneels over a pool of water, gazing at a reflection, set against a light blue background.

Claire Welch

A pair of mixed-media artworks mounted on a white wall. Each piece consists of a light wood frame with white thread strung vertically across it, creating a loom-like structure. Woven through the threads are translucent photographic prints: the left showing a figure skiing in a blue landscape, the right showing a group of people in a domestic setting. Long strands of thread hang freely from the bottom of both frames.
