Puneeta Mittal

With a strong belief that everything that is born, grows and withers away
yet to be born again - incessant change from one to another proceeds in an
evolutionary cycle - clay has proved to be an ideal medium for my expressions. My love for color and texture in nature- internal and external, has proven to
be an unlimited resource for my blank canvas.

Laura Moriarty

Rocks can tell the story of time if you know how to read them; I think about painting in a similar way, using the process of making as a tool for discovery. My work draws parallels between human and geologic time. I play with the idea of plate tectonics by literally pushing the paint off the panel and then refining it, (through heating and compressing a beeswax based paint), into a collection of sculptural forms that resemble fossils, geodes, bones and shards. I consider the pure medium fodder for a playful re-visioning of natural history, where I get to make all the specimens in the museum.

Laura Moriarty's recent solo and group shows include: 'Upheaval', Artspace, New Haven, CT; 'Ecotones and Transition Zones' curated by Brian Wallace, Samuel Dorsky Art Museum; 'Graphica Creativa '09: 12th International Print Triennial', Jyvaskyla Art Museum, Finland; 'Hyper-Nature', Spaces, Cleveland, OH. Awards include two Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grants, New York Foundation for the Arts SOS grants, and residencies in the US and Europe.

"Propagation Seems Good Here Tonight" drawing and animation 2009

In "Propagation Seems Good Here Tonight," animated drawings correspond with shortwave radio transmissions recorded in Chelsea, New York between March 20 and 21, 2009. Imagery alters between illumination and dimness as if to sift through an atmosphere of random noise in the universe. This unpredictable environment, with its degrees of murk and clarity, propagates waves that bend, stretch, open, close, pack together and break apart.

Terry Nauheim explores sound and visual relationships through digital media, drawing, and installation.

I try to find the undercurrent, common denominator of the works and find as it is usually with me, unless I am poking fun at an issue, that I am trying to discover the process. I find there are elements of Time and therefore Context in the stuff that interest me. Therefore, I usually develop a piece that looks midstream, undone, in process because it always is. The longer I work on something, the more complex it becomes and hopefully more simple it appears. Any good provoking art work I liken to be more like verse than text, it is distilled, refined, subtracted and minimalized to basic physical elements and metaphysical ideas.
