Exploration of the art object | DeCola, Jacob Nicholas | I am a sculptor who works with materials, an object maker concerned with both physical and conceptual process.

Bodily housed | Perreault, Alison Marie | Exhibiting work has to do with communication.

Iconography of the trail | Brunvand, Sandra Lynne | A focusing element in my work is to confront the theme of life and death and how this dichotomy could be cast as metamorphoses of states of being. In many ways this is such a fundamental theme of our existence as to be at once too simple and too pervasive to be fully comprehended. As I co... | Art/Art History | 2004-12 |
