“The Freshness of Mourning” by Suchitra Mattai
 
“The Freshness of Mourning” explores themes of memory, loss and identity through images of waste and decay in our natural and built environments. Inspired in part by the poem “Man on a Dump” by Wallace Stevens, these works on paper and wood celebrate that which is decorative in the discarded and seek to re-appropriate the sightly in what is unsightly.
 
“Pendent Tendencies Too” by Jerry Morris and De Lane Bredvik
Art can use beauty to seduce and beguile, sometimes employing light flirtation, other times awe and passion to inspire thought and action. While installation artists have an infinite pallet to employ to achieve goals of societal subversion, our work and our quest for the sublime finds discipline through the productive art-making process that balances strong conceptual frameworks and a romantic love of materiality. Successfully compelling art may cause the suspension of preconceived expectations, and encourage new ideas and thinking. Jerry Morris and De Lane Bredvik share this passion and aspiration to realize work with potential to sway thinking about issues of our day that hang in the balance.
