From the most basic material – paper- Andrew Scott Ross brings us back to the beginning of humanity with his cut out piece Rocks and Rocks and Caves and Dreams on cardstock.
Like cave paintings the cut outs on the wall seem to tell an ancient tale while on the floor below tiny figures, mythological half man half beasts and forests stand in a world before time. Fleeing for cover, grasping their heads, as if it is the end of the world. The crumpled paper from which the forms are cut out transform into a landscape of mountains and valleys. Your sense of placement in the universe is questioned. What of humanity now? What has all our so-called advanced civilization come too? Flood into your thoughts, wondering what now, what now…..

With an industrial color palette and simple forms Emmy Cho’s work Every one needs an editor searches for location. Lines, texture, drips, color landscapes appear and disappear. A large cloud like shape with diagonal stripes of a familiar construction site orange with another battleship grey color cloud behind it rumbles, poof! Demolition of a structure occurred. Texture peeks out from the surface. A line in grey springs out with a wild movement yet absolutely controlled. The elements are in an active conversation across the canvas speaking out loud.

The magnitudes of the consequences of human kinds actions are evident in William Cravis’s work, In Ten Seconds, 10 attaché cases. The cases are open containing varied paper from news articles and images of currency. Displayed in a circle on columns made from rolls of toilet tissue the darker side of humanity is revealed.

Participating artists include;
Shalini Bhat, Emmy Cho, William Cravis, Regan Golden-McNerney, Joseph Gottlieb Kopfler III, Maya Onoda, Tivon Calder Rice, Andrew Scott Ross, Brian Scott Shaw, Jared Steffensen

The Cue Art Foundation is a non-profit organization which offers many programs in support of artists needs. The seminars for artists program was a catalyst for navigating the art world for my work. I attribute much of my successes to the information I've used from their programs. A fertile ground for artists seeking necessary information in order to grow.
