Dawn Wakiya
Through my art, I hope to appeal to the viewers' senses and
provide the eye a place to feel excited through color and
shape as well as a place to sink in, relaxed and calm....
There are two things that continue to intrigue me time and
time again.... pattern, motif, and color in traditional
fibre arts such as weaving and quilting work & the many
naturally formed patterns found in nature. When I am
creating my work, I become fully attune to how these two are
directly related & how enriching they are to me personally.
My work over the last year or so has been an exploration of
traditional motifs found in some of my favorite weaving and
quilting styles. These styles range from the Rio Grande
Weavings of New Mexico to the work of the Bauhaus School
Weavers to Early American Quilt motifs. Recent works
inspired by pattern & texture found in plant material have
become my primary focus.

Marcia Widenor
In recent years my favorite materials for sculpture and
installation have been hand made flax and abbaca paper and
handspun flax yarn and linen threads. I love the
irregularities of the fibers, the shadows cast by deckled
edges and knitted linen nets that move gently. Colors almost
disappear, the surfaces bear the marks of the hands that
made them. Much is left for the viewer to decide for
himself.

Flint Weisser
Flint Weisser is a sculptor originally from Boise, Idaho. In
2008, he graduated from Pratt Institute with a masters
degree in sculpture.
His latest works have been exploring our relationship to
technology and science. Flint is interested in expanding the
definition of artistic materials by appropriating scientific
principles, and the fundamental forces of special relativity
as raw materials. He wants to use physical science, and the
science experiment as a kind of aesthetic experience. To
facilitate this, he has been creating devices which
illustrate or make use of the first fundamental force of
physics, electromagnetism.
The machines he creates are based from old patent diagrams,
etchings from historical scientific treatises, and grade
school science experiments. His magnetic field drawings are
created through the careful manipulation and alteration of
magnetic fields to create compositions.
His work has been featured on the Wired Science blog, and in
the gallery of the Scientific American website. More images
and information can be found at
