Realistic painting of people protesting for peace

Venice – Topanga Working Class

December 3, 2022/in Art, Art, Winter-Spring 2023 / Charles Borges Accardi

“Spatial Empathy” describes the awareness of an individual to the proximity, activities, and comfort of people surrounding them. It is related to the notion of personal space, the concept that an individual has ownership of their immediate surroundings; and for others to invade this space represents an infringement on their privacy.

Shadows Love Me

November 25, 2022/in Art, Art, Winter-Spring 2023 / Rachel Mulder

I stole the title for this body of work from my three-year-old niece. She was initially afraid of the shadows created by the canopy her mom placed over her bed. My sister-in-law was about to take it down when she said, “never mind, shadows love me!” These neon gel pen drawings were first exhibited in Portland, Oregon, at a café called Albina Press, in the Fall of 2022

Junkmail Collages

November 25, 2022/in Art, Art, Winter-Spring 2023 / Matthew Klane

As a poet, appropriation and collage have always been my primary mode. Distilling and transforming text. Layering and arranging text. My poetic interests have also leaned towards the visual arts: typography, page-space, dirty minimalism.
These junkmail collages were intended as a daily practice. Use only what falls through the mail slot. Be attentive to the rips and stains and bruises the paper incurred in its travels.

Autumn Field

November 24, 2022/in Art, Art, Winter-Spring 2023 / Roger Pfingston

As much as anything, I think that what has guided and sustained my work as a photographer is curiosity, the desire to see what something looks like as a photograph. I’ve always been fascinated by the “what it is, what it isn’t” factor of photography—how the literal can become figurative by changing the angle of view, the distance from the subject, or the light.

Gloomy Blooms

November 3, 2022/in Art, Art, Winter-Spring 2023 / William Reichard

I started work on the “Gloomy Blooms” photo series in May 2020. The country had gone into Covid lockdown in March, and like many people, I was struggling to adapt to my new, more isolated life. I’m an introvert, and alone time is very important to me, but even introverts have our limits. The lockdown made me realize how much I depend on seeing my friends and family.

Double Exposure Polaroid Photography

May 29, 2022/in Art, Art, Summer-Fall 2022 / Ellery Beck

This series is a reimagining of older photographs I’ve taken with more recent polaroid’s put over top—a visual translation of the conversations an artist has with themselves, with their old work, with what they’re doing now. Everything I’ve created, whether it be visual art, sculptures, or poetry—they’re participating in one conversation, stacking up meaning.

Untitled

May 27, 2022/in Art, Art, Summer-Fall 2022 / Rachel Coyne

My deepest influences are found equally within the surrealists and Outsider Art pieces such as street preacher James Hampton’s The Throne of the Third Heaven of the Nations’ Millennium General Assembly. I approach painting with a conscious rawness. With reference to Outsider Art, my artistic insights meet the paint and paper with technical and emotional directness.

Playing with Scissors

May 26, 2022/in Art, Art, Summer-Fall 2022 / Sherry Shahan

I’ve wandered the globe as a travel journalist for decades, often watching the world and its people from behind; whether in the hub of London, a backstreet in Havana, or alone from a window in a squat hotel room in Paris; whether with a 35 mm camera or an iPhone.

Silent Sound Pieces – Graphic Notation Series

May 25, 2022/in Art, Art, Summer-Fall 2022 / The2vvo

The series results from numerous conversations about nomadic life and its expressions, as experienced by the artists on the move. Within the paradigm of continuous “new beginnings” and “ending chapters,” we are often finding ourselves, short-term and long-term, within the “grey” zone both legislation-wise and concerning the sense of belonging, with “black and white” phases, and with bright patterns of events

Covid Color

May 24, 2022/in Art, Art, Summer-Fall 2022 / Cynthia Yatchman

I primarily use acrylic paint, latex paints, inks, papers, charcoal and alcohol inks for my paintings. My images contain many diverse layers of meaning, from the universal to the specific and personal. Many of my works are abstract.

Isolating The Apocalypse and The Unique Image

March 14, 2022/in Amuse-Bouche, Art / Peter Bardazzi

At the beginning of my professional career, after graduating Yale University’s School of Arts MFA program, my artists soul was torn between Flemish painting of the 15th-16th century and the ideas imbedded in the 20th century DADA art movement. Specifically I was drawn to the Apocalyptic visions of artists like Van Eyck, Bruegel and Bosch and simultaneously to the anti-art of Marcel Duchamp and Francis Picabia.

December 1, 2021/in Art, Art, Winter-Spring 2022 / Dana Kroos

My current research and work involves explorations in visual art and creative writing largely concerned with investments that transform geographic spaces into personal places. This includes, for example, unfamiliar space becoming intimate or familiar; single locations endowed with multiple meanings by different people or communities; or the way place is bestowed with power and presence. . .

Between Fire and Ice

May 15, 2021/in Art, Art, Summer-Fall 2021 / Chris Manfield

“Between Fire and Ice” is an ongoing photographic entry around the subject of wildfires within the forefront of climate change. Fire, to me, is alive and shares a deep relationship with our universal family. After the most destructive wildfire in the history of California in 2018, I began photographing fire-dependent ecosystems across the United States. . .

Continuing the Conversation

May 2, 2021/in Art, Art, Summer-Fall 2021 / Karen Starrett

The act of painting, moving my hand across the canvas, is pure freedom—and fear. I continue to draw lines, wipe parts of them away, then redraw and wipe parts away again—joining, obscuring, and overlaying these lines many times. Different linear elements clash and struggle to be together—to make sense together. . .

Scenes from Ballets Never Staged- Acrylic

December 7, 2020/in Art, Art, Winter-Spring 2021 / Lisa Golightly Braden

These theatrical scenes are inspired by my Filipino ancestry and by The Darangen: the epic poetic narrative of the Maranao people, as well as by the textile traditions of the Southern Philippines. Each of these scenes attempts to capture and articulate the narrative imagery recovered from the psyche: a scene interrupted, a glimpse of some symbolic interior—as it might be staged in a theater.[…]

The specific paints and color variations I use in my work also impact the work as well as the subjects I present.

November 27, 2020/in Art, Art, Winter-Spring 2021 / Michael Owens

I’m a political artist by trade. I’m interested in exploring human connections through this thing called politics. They say everything is political; that’s very true, at least for me.[…]

Women, Yazd, Iran-Photographs

November 26, 2020/in Art, Art, Winter-Spring 2021 / Marjan Modarres Sabzevari

This project aims to portray women as they suffer a crushing defeat in society. Being the core of my focus, woman is described as a bird who is dying. I have applied Forough Farrokhzad’s last poem of her last book of poems—“the bird may die…”—to the photos to address each image more touchingly.[…]

Word From the Editor

Our contributors are diverse and the topics they share through their art vary, but their work embodies this mission. They explore climate change, family, relationships, poverty, immigration, human rights, gun control, among others topics. Some of these works represent the mission by showing pain or hardship, other times humor or shock, but they all carry in them a vision for a brighter world.
