JENNIFER EVANS
Local Ingredients

As a textile & paper collage artist, I am inspired by cultural traditions, stories and crafts. My practice explores the complexities of identity, particularly in relation to women’s roles. The artist Luchita Hurtado expressed, “Everything in this world, I find I’m related to.” This sentiment resonates with my belief in our interconnectedness across cultures, our shared humanity & desire for connection. Art has the power to change the viewer, can serve as a catalyst for empathy and change.

MADELEINE DODGE
Splendor of Fire, Seeds of Light

My work is born of a relationship between materials and any number of inspired processes arising in the present moment. There are always two questions in my mind at any time: “What if…?” and “What next...?” This inevitably links my practice with an experimental mindset and keeps me living always on the edge of the unknown. I confess that I sometimes wish for more security, but that is only a passing thought, and I do like surprises.

VERO SILVA
the echo of your touch

Through creation, I am able to turn intangible memories, emotions, and sensations into physical objects– solidifying my experiences as real. I paint to turn memory into movement, and vulnerability into a visual language that is easily understood. I find that the human experience often mirrors the land around us; permeable and transient yet undeniably enduring of hardships and pain. Overwhelming yet serene. My work pays homage to the resilience of our minds, and its connection to our bodies.
