Flora & Fauna featuring works by Julia Johnson

August 1st- 31st

Johnson’s sculptural paper work are elegant, organic forms hand cut, heated, painted and precisely placed. She describes the process as "I explore organic forms with unnatural material. The pieces are made with synthetic paper, manipulated into hardened, bony forms. I create the abstracted forms to juxtapose the unique properties of synthetic paper with the organic subject matter."

Ouroboros- works by Jordan Kressley

May 1st- 29th

A fairly recent graduate in the field of illustration Kressely has made the wise decision to stick to traditional hands on mediums, quickly and adeptly honing the skills of chalk pastels. In an age of digital content one can drown in these works on paper that have tediously been labored upon are a fresh breath on art. Everything about this young artist’s choices set her apart from the pack. She impresses the viewer with every single work she creates with scale and attention to detail. Kressely creates a fantastical and rich sense of depth and luminosity in her work, where the bright and energetic meet calm of boundless darkness. While referencing the living world around her, she develops exciting compositions with unique narratives that capture the viewer’s attention. Presenting a new series of works that tie in her current interest in flora and fauna that push the boundaries of reality just enough.

Gillian Pokalo- Remnants

March 1st- 31st

In Pokalo’s mixed media artwork it is immediately evident she is carrying the torch of the radical art movements of the early twentieth century to our present day. The compositions balance excitement and harmony, the exposed as well as the cryptic, which pull the attention of the viewer in, to maintain there for dissection and appreciation.

The works are incredibly innovative in their vision and applied techniques of layering materials with recognizable and unrecognizable imagery. Pokalo employs painting, photography, and printmaking techniques in her art making to create an extremely one-of-a-kind result while hitting the mark of intention. Not content with being a one trick pony, she is always looking for new ways to spark the creative direction, seeking the right blend of content and materials that responds to the experience or concept. Pokalo notes she is “influenced by the sociological shift in the communities that were originally built around industry and the remnants of places that no longer exist. I photograph buildings that are in some way imperfect, or have a humble, almost forgotten quality.“ Striking contrasts of values and dynamic arrangements will pull you through the body of work, then inevitably you will want to revisit each piece for further investigation.

The Bradford Collection- Woodcraft by Steven Martin

January 1st- February 28th

As a tattooer who has enjoyed creating geometric designs and someone who has been dabbling in woodworking I have bridged those gaps in creating a new body of work in the work shop.
