The focus of these paintings is the process and ritual of
repetitive mark making. The layers of accumulated marks
create independent fields, marking time and space. Each
layer reveals evidence of marks beneath, showing a history
of the painting’s creation and suggesting endless
possibilities.

Greg Corn
My work is mainly about how things work. That can be taken simply or on
many levels as you wish. For me the work is about the
ability to sense unseen forces that affect our reality.
Though the Physical form has importance, it is the
redirection of or "drawing with" these forces that matters
most for me.
Ingenuity, invention, and improvisation, are qualities I hope the work
expresses.
I currently live and work on Long Island as a sculptor and
artistic consultant.

Andrea Cote
In my work I question boundaries using my body as subject,
object, and medium. Recent work examines hair and its dual
associations with desire and repulsion, as a signifier of
identity and a disguise. Where is the line drawn between
body and mind, self and environment, interior and exterior?
Andrea lives in Flanders and teaches at the Riverhead
Library and the East End Arts Council. She recently curated
the show, "Found" at Art Sites Gallery.
Andrea works in multiple disciplines. She has exhibited her
work at venues including The Philadelphia Museum of Art,
Islip Art Museum, Delaware Art Museum, The Rochester
Contemporary, Rotunda Gallery, Abrons Arts Center, The Print
Center, and PanAmerican Art Projects.

Ellen Dickinson
Utilizing a basic
basketry technique of coiling unbleached linen over a core
of braided clothesline, I create free-standing,
armature-free sculptures.
My sculptures unite natural materials and the imposed order
of an iterative process. Each new sculpture presents the
opportunity to expand the boundaries of coiling; creating a
dynamic interplay of kinetic and static movements that
evolve as organically formed accretions.
My pieces range in size from inches to several feet, and can
be found in private collections across the United States. I
accept commissions, and have recently had a piece installed
at a major luxury hotel/spa.

Ray Germann
I've been photographing more than thirty years in black and
white documenting New York State as well as New York City. I
started photographing in the Fingerlakes in 1987, initially
atracted to the parks and gorges. I progressed to other
areas of New York including since 1996 the Adirondack
region. I have been particularly attracted to the landscape
of the region as well as the wetlands of the entire state.
Since I did much driving upstate I decided to document the
small towns looking for places and buildings that reflect
historic origin. I suppose I have been secretly looking for
Walker Evans. I still use film (large format) for the
landscapes and subscribe to the old Ansel Adams F64
philosophy. My New York City project started out using film
but recently have switched to a digital camera.
I have been in nearly two hundred exhibitions and have my
work in six museum collections. I have recently exhibited at
Gallery North and the Fenimore Art Museum located in
Cooperstown, N.Y. I will be exhibiting my Adirondack images
at Suffolk Community College, Riverhead Campus in 2010

Naomi Grossman
Naomi Grossman’s wire organic sculptures reference the human
form and function as drawings as well. Wire magically
becomes line in space, changing in character & becoming
messages from within. The wire functions to create a
tension- as in the expression “wired”- while also conveying
both strength and fragility. The sculptures are delicate and
have words embedding in their “skin”. These words give the
viewer the sense of eavesdropping on someone’s secret
obsessive thoughts. These sculptures use language, written
and visual in tension. Her work is always probing deeper
into how language describes and defines one’s identity.
Grossman’s mixed media works on paper combine a calligraphic
line with figuration to further explore obsessive thoughts,
secrets, fears, longings and desires.
Both her wire sculptures, a figure falling through space,
female torsos revealing secret thoughts and fears, chairs
with the imprint of their last occupant hanging ghostlike in
air- and mixed media on paper, cropped nude photos combining
words with mixed media, obsessive drawings- show people
revealing their fragility and anxiety in our 21st century.
Naomi
Grossman has a studio in Long Island City. She was a fellow
at both Ragdale and Hambidge Artist Residencies in the last
year.
