MROSS, Nina:

Life forms wants to be free; meaning exists without history.

 PETERS, Christopher:

I am a fashion student at the School of Art Institute. Formerly, I held a concentration in Cultural Ecology at the University of California. My work focuses mostly on the imaginary, the hallucinatory, or the “unseen” world. Incorporating my previous students, I look to address issues of identity beyond those of the physical body.

 

 RUEHLE, Jessica:

I am originally from Minnesota. I am concentrating on Fiber and Material Students, but also study painting, drawing, and video. I am interested in exploring the distance between public/private, interior/exterior, and sacred/profane spaces through color, form, and text-based pieces.

 

JONES, Rodney Lee:

I am an experimental sound painter from Philadelphia, PA, I earned a B.A. in Humanities from the University of Chicago, but art-making has always been very important to me. I create using materials and content from my everyday experiences. Through my work, I share my perspective with others in the hopes that we will converse and simply enjoy a moment of reality in harmony.

 

 LONG, Tom:

I received my P.A. in English with a writing concentration from the University of Texas, and remain interested in storytelling. I am to the process of earning my MFA from the School of the art Institute of Chicago, where I have had the opportunity to study in depth subjects. I was drawn to at university such as Islamic art, Chinese aesthetics, Japanese woodblock prints, and “outsider” art.

 

BOYER, Julie:

Six months ago, studio neighbor Sara Rabinowitz and I tore an opening in the wall that had feebly protected the vulnerability of our private practices. The studio building is mow gone. We work from what we have left: memory, documentation, and fragment of the wall that first separated us.

 

DEDES, Phia:

These are portraits if me in costumes that I have made. The digital negatives are printed out on a transparency sheet, and then printed in the darkroom with a ziatype platinum process, I find it interesting to use older processes combined with new technology, In a sense, I am the new technology, and the portrait is the older process.

 

GUZZO, Nicole:

I am drawn to design because I am a lower of type and I think in terms of relationships. What does it mean to each other? How do they communicate with each other? What do they say to you, the viewer?

 

HOFFMAN, Elizabeth:

Elizabeth Diane Hoffman is currently a graduate student in art Education. As an undergraduate, she graduated from both The University of Chicago and from the school of the Art Institute in Visual Communications Her collages are made by hind-not on the computer. They are intended to be witty and humorous.
