Impermanence, fragility and the ethereal are at the core of MELANIE WALKER’s practice. She works with transparent materials and layering as a metaphor for the elusive nature of memory. Walker’s work lies at the intersection of photography, sculpture, fiber arts, and installation.

Visually engaging and mysterious use of materials is the grounding feature of BONNY LHOTKA’s work. Art is an object traditionally having definable boundaries, but with the use of unique materials I make the forms appear to be in a constant state of flux. It is hard to visually understand where the forms exist within the confines of the frame. The images in Lhotka’s latest series change as the viewer moves to a new viewing angle, like bits of memory, the content is presented within the mist of time.

JOO WOO’s Traveler’s Cup series is a thought-provoking exploration of identity and place. By printing landscape photos on small pieces of paper, cutting them out, and re-photographing them within the landscape from whence they came, she highlights the complex experiences of being an immigrant and the ways in which our memories of places can reshape and evolve one’s identity and sense of belonging over time.

KEVIN HOTH fragments and then recombines photographic vantage points and momentary captures. His work often explores image disruption as a transgressive, healing, and synthesizing process. His new work for this exhibition employs a naive approach to digital image correction as a way to highlight the inherent corruption of the manipulated image, and its effect on our perception of reality.

KATIE KINDLE’s work is created through the lens of her own female body as nature with the goal of reframing cultural depictions often meant for consumption. Through photographic collage, she explores identity and the interconnection of the health of the body and the environment. She is inspired by the narrative that nature is a place for healing and the land is the origin of knowledge.
