Outside the Centers On the Edge
In the fall of 2002 I approached Dan Talley director of the Sharadin Art Gallery at
Kutztown University of Pennsylvania with a germ of an idea for a collaborative
exhibition As both an artist and a curator who lives just a little too far outside of a
major urban center to be considered for artist grants in that city I began tJ consider
the idea of how ones location particularly when one is positioned outside of a center
can bear on the opportunities one has as an artist Does existing on the hysical
periphery ultimately help or hinder in the building of ones reputation within those
centers Does that location effect ones approach toward artmaking and if so how
Talley developed the title of the exhibition and together we decigtied to organize a
show which would identify and encourage Pennsylvania artists who both live and
work outside of the major metropolitan centers of Philadelp ia and Pittsburgh
Our vision of the show however did not simply end with the notion of focusing on
regional artists As alluded to in the title we also were thinking about how the title
could describe an attitude or mental state tha( an artist may hold while working in these so-called remote places It seems that innovation and experimentation are qualities
recognized more in art made in urban centers while more traditional conventions
seem te dominate the artistic landscape in outlying areas Despite this tendency we
suspected that there are artists who work on the attitudinal edge of these places and
thus we sought to find them This did not mean that we were searching for artists
who seemed to be emulating trends seen within the centers either Instead we wanted
to locate those individuals who work from the edge their own edge independent
state or personal vision in order to produce strong and engaging art
Another consideration was to highlight art institutions postioned outside the centers
that serve their communities with new and innovative programming and invite their
participation Dan Mills from the Samek Art Gallery at Bucknell University Michael
Tomor from the Southern Alleghenies Art Museums and John Vanco from the Erie Art
Museum agreed to collaborate in the organization and curation of the project Each
participating institution will present the exhibition over the course of the next two years
While the general motivation for the exhibition grew out of personal experience our
focus on regional artists and institutions is tied to a growing trend seen within the art
world Over the course of the last decade large-scale reoccurring art exhibitions have
been held in places as economically politically and culturally diverse as Havana
Johannesburg Istanbul and Shanghai These exhibitions afford artists from those
regions and abroad not only visibility in the international art world they also shine a
light on the city itself as a cultural destination They promote diversity and business
while drawing attention to the distinctiveness of local and regional culture While
Outside the CentersOn the Edge does not cast as wide a net as these international
exhibitions it does seek to emphasize regional cultural strengths and artistic resources
So what does outside the centers on the edge look like We selected fifteen artists
who work in a variety of media and with a host of different subject matter as being
representative of the exhibitions theme The three photographers we selected create
work within art historical genres - landscape portraiture and still life - but do so by
representing places people and things seen throughout the state Christine Welch
photographs the crossroads that exist between the natural and the manufactured
environments of the region Her images not only depict the physical terrain they
also reveal the tension and irony that exists at the intersection of these two worlds
Shauna Frischkorn makes images of teenage boys playing video games She
photographs them illuminated by the glow of the television screen as they stare at
the often-violent games they play Although they are engaged in a task that requires
great focus and attention the boys wear blank and ironically passive expressions
Robert Raczkas interests are in the material culture of the everyday world He
photographs found arrangements of things that we produce acquire and display as
a way of revealing something about himself and the creators of these groupings
Other artists working two-dimensionally employ a variety of media and strategies
Carl Gustafsons large oil paintings explore the notion of time and transition within
a bounded space His part beastpart ghost figures appear to struggle to move within
the seemingly calm painted interiors that surround them N Sarangouliss mixed
media drawings and book objects use found paper and book pages as a starting point
for her work She combines discarded materials with drawn and painted elements

creating work that seems both old and new and reveals and conceals intensely
personal narratives Kristofer Harzinskis Departure series is made up of hand
cut plans of some of the nations largest airports The project turns the confusing
interplay of those spaces buildings planes and people into clean beautiful and
fragile objects In an era when public spaces such as these have become politically
charged arenas Harzinskis work raises timely questions about personal freedom and
collective responsibility
A wide array of media methods and strategies are applied by the artists working
three-dimensionally as well David Collins transforms the traditional and familiar
vessel form of the ceramic teapot into a sculptural object by playing with scale and
combining multiple materials with clay By doing so he explores material relationships
and also raises questions regarding function and utility Christina Bothwell uses cast
glass as her primary medium Each of her translucent figurative forms features an
inner cavity that she fills with other mysterious forms and objects The inherent nature
of the material allows her to experiment with not only the optical effects of glass
but its metaphorical properties as well As a result her sculptures are psychologically
charged and speak to issues of containment and vulnerability Rebecca Strzelec
creates objects employing current industrial technology Designing on the computer
and using rapid prototyping to shape her work she creates wearable pieces of jewelry
out of plastiC resin that physically attach to and interact with the surface of the body
The overall shapes and forms are derived by echoing the part of the body part on
which the sculptural form sits Bone muscle and ligament are suggested through
these delicate-looking but physically strong objects
Artists also use installation-based practices to build work Mark Wondsidler combines
found objects of various shapes sizes and functions to create mysterious and intriguing
forms Using an additive process he explores relationships between individual objects
and their overall arrangement while also drawing attention to the personal history of
each component Georgette Veeder examines the relationships which exist between
two- and three-dimensional space through the creation of large cast paper installations
that reference the natural environment Real and illustionistic space is explored though
the juxtaposition of floor-bound objects that are placed in front of relief elements that
hang from the wall Suzanne Farris focuses on tangible and intangible aspects of
environment Memory space privacy and aspects of comfort are some of the issues
her sensory-loaded installations address Daniel Burkes large mixed-media wall
installation also activates the senses through intense repetition of bird forms and the
human-made environments they often inhabit
Public art projects are also represented in Outside the CentersOn the Edge Amara
Geffen provides photo documentation of an ongoing collaborative project made with
the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation and regional students Read Between
the Signs uses recycled road signs to form a large-scale sculptural relief that mimics
the surrounding landscape of the Allegheny Mountains The project is not only tied
to the natural environment in which it sits but also to the hearts and minds of its
community members Lisa Austins public art project is more intimate in approach
than Geffens but is no less powerful Documentation of Child Garden for the ICU
shows her design of an environment which can be placed around a childs bed to
soften the clinical setting of the intensive care unit She has created a full scale model
of the deSign a table top version and is currently working on having this piece
mass-produced for use in hospitals
Travel to the periphery involves a commitment of time and energy which means that
these regiOns may often be overlooked due to the relative inconvenience of simply
getting there We also live in an age in which we can know about a place or feel
connected to a person through the push of a button or the click of a mouse In spite
of these factors this exhibition suggests that the journey outside of the centers is
worth the experience and the artists who choose these locations and the work they
produce are full of possibilites not limitations

Lisa Austin For months my daughter was a patient in an intensive care unit
At first my consciousness was limited to my child What began as an
emergency evolved into a bizarre normalcy Despite balloons and stuffed
animals the environment was starkly clinical Without darkness or
quiet there was no night Because of the danger of infection plants
were absent Televisions were plentiful windows were scarce Suffering
was expected In this semi-public arena children recovered or died I
witnessed a medical culture that effectively focused on the childs body
and rendered parents irrelevant
The Child Garden for the fCU brings a fictional nature into the intensive
care unit The original 6 tall wood steel and Formica sculpture proved
too large for hospital use Redesigned at quarter-scale for rotationalshy
molding manufacture the Child Garden for the fCU will attach to existing
hospital tray-tables With seven slightly varied stylized plant forms the
artwork will offer a quiet visual oasis to patients and their families
While researching grants and searching for a suitable non-profit partner
to accept profits from this project Ive collaborated with Alisa Dix and
Jeffrey Brunner to publish a booklet version of the Child Garden for the fCU

In my work I am drawn to the processes of birth death and renewal
What lies below the surface fascinates me and I try to capture the
qualities of the unseen that express the sense of wonder that I feel in
my daily existence
I am attracted to glass because it can do everything that other sculptural
mediums can in addition it offers an inner space and transmits light
My subject matter includes babies animals and children as they embody
the essence of vulnerability that is the underlying theme in my work
Christina L Bothwell Currently I am exploring metamorphosis as a topic and have been
incorporating figures within figures in my pieces Within each glass figure
there is a smaller figure seen through the surface of the glass
I think of these pieces as souls each being pregnant with their own
potential giving birth to new improved versions of themselves

Daniel Burke bullbullbull Ofa feather is a display It is an arrangement of parts and sections
about a topic that I began exploring about four or five years ago At the
time I was often visited by birds as I ate lunch on my studio rooftop
Initially I shared scraps of bread with the birds and this feeding gradually
gave way to intense observation and eventually to photographs drawings
and painted studies of them The observation inspired library work on
birds - research on their types flight patterns habitat etc I eventually
began making and playing with parts - lots of parts paintings of trees
foliage ground covers and bird forms - both resting and flying The
parts were cut out and painted then placed on domino shapes or backed
with clothes-pins so that they could be placed anywhere The parts grew
into bird facades and cutouts of fences poles bushes and gates (places for
them to perch) I eventually had enough material so that I could begin to
organize the elements While arranging the individual parts the overall
artwork demonstrated its needs some of the original parts and sections
were taken away while other new pieces were made and added to the
final assemblage While I continue to explore other bird displays I am
currently working on parts that will go into pieces about vessel forms

From utilitarian object to fine art the role of the ceramic vessel has
undergone many changes throughout history Many things ranging
from the Industrial Revolution to the theories found in Modernist and
Post-Modernist thinking have prompted these changes In a fine art
context the vessel has become an arena of exploration similar to that
of other art media My interests lie in what constitutes the function of
the vessel both socially and in terms of utility
David T Collins Regarding the Functility series the artist potter imposed function of each
piece is that of vehicle A vehicle that sheds its utilitarian premise to
self referentially ponder its own utilitarian role by manifesting itself and
therefore examining itself through the eyes of other than ceramics
structures materials and systems This vessel role playing proposes what
I see as the inherent properties of the ceramic vessel space function and
utility This role playing or hybridization also examines the constructs
of language and identity with regard to art objecthood and craft by
attempting to de-center or test the constructs of our own expectations
of what a teapot should be My intention is for these pieces to serve as
an exercise or examples of what can be

When I wake up in the middle of a dream I remember almost everyshy
thing the color of the room the person walking by the smell of the air
the direction of the light and the way I am moving within it I believe
our memories are similarly constructed It is the blending of time event
objects and environment that constructs a permanent impression on our
conscious and subconscious mind
To me this combination of events and impressions that happen in our
dreams and waking lives is recorded within our memories and combined
to create a notion of place I define place as where we live how we feel
what we believe is important and insignificant it is the core of who we
are and the locations we inhabit
Suzanne Faris I am interested in exploring this multiplicity that exists within the
depths of the places within myself and my perception of who and what
surrounds me The work I am currently doing is intended to engage the
viewer through the construction of the essence of a place event or
circumstance influenced more heavily through concept and construction
by memory and impression than rational organization

G ame Boys is an ongoing portrait series of young men engaged in a
familiar pastime - they are playing video games For the past two years
I have been photographing video game players who come to my studio
sit in the dark and play for hours while I quietly watch and shoot The
studio setting lends a theatrical quality to this commonplace activity
Sometimes I watch the game to see a particularly interesting sequence
but mostly I just watch the game players I seek to explore the popular
culture phenomenon of video games by examining the garners who play
them Because my work is rooted in the tradition of portrait photography
I look beyond the hype surrounding video games and focus on the players
themselves Traditionally the belief has been that a portrait could tell us
a great deal about a subject a window into a persons inner character
could be found through facial expressions Although the expressions on
my subjects may appear to be passive the garners in these photographs
are actually performing fast-paced maneuvers and executing split-second
decisions making these portraits of intense concentration

Amara Geffen The project a partnership between Amara Geffen PennDOT and
Allegheny College is a community based collaborative environmental
art installation Since 2002 when the project began annual charettes
involving over 100 collaborators have been held to gather community
input Allegheny College and community interns hired with support from
Allegheny Colleges Center for Economic and Environmental Development
(CEED) then set up shop at the local PennDOT facility spending eleven
weeks in residence each summer Under the direction of artist this team
then works to refine and implement community designs fabricating
between 100-250 feet of the project each summer
To date 730 feet have been produced when completed Read Between the

Carl Gustafson In these paintings it is my intention to create a new experience in the
way of looking at life I am searching for ways to visually represent the
extremes humanity is emotionally and physically capable of It is my hope
that the viewer will relate to these images in a similar way while also
drawing their own conclusions and applying them to their own life

The Departure Series presents the 17 largest airports in the United States
Each object is an accurate map of the airports runways taxiways hangars
and terminals hand-cut from paper
Kristofer Harzinski Airports are spaces we all have in common They hold onto us for a
temporary pit stop on a long journey They are curious intermediate
zones only slightly different from one another Each airport vaporously
reflects its location There is slight diversity a distance between here and
home but immediately we recognize most of the elements We know this
place We understand what to do here even though we have never been
here before While there for a few hours or just a few minutes we
momentarily come into contact with thousands of people People who
normally have nothing in common today are briefly joined in a single
location People who we will never see again in our lives are seated next
to us waiting just as we are for the end of the journey
The paper airport is intricate and fragile Please realize your paper airport
will not last forever Yet it may outlast its more permanent relatives

These digital photographs reflect my long-standing interest in material
culture - the things that we produce acquire and arrange for their
usefulness and aesthetic qualities Variously the photographs in this series
depict objects arranged carefully or haphazardly for art students to draw
merchandise offered in stores or store window displays and miscellaneous
collections of items in homes and offices None of these things were
arranged by me or for me but even the more transparent of these
photographs include my subjective response that significantly alters the
apparent intentions of the people who arranged them
Robert Raczka The photographs are meant to have a playfully surreal quality As the
largely - but not entirely - practical intentions of the people who
arranged them intersect with my aesthetic and conceptual intentions
these photographs say something about me as well as something about
the individuals who arranged them and the culture that produced them
though it would be impossible for viewers to accurately disentangle
those forces This does not in my thinking constitute a problem

The artwork that I am making at this time involves finding discarded
and unwanted papers books and paintings I then turn them into new
works of art I draw and paint on top of them add things to them
resurrect them and give them a new life Like a physician I try to help
and heal them and give them new meanings and purposes Pages is part
of a larger body of work called The Clarence Series I purchased Clarences
school work at an auction I dont know him but I know that he saved
all of his homework from grade school through accounting school I am
a collaborator on a grand scale working with many individuals like
Clarence and other unknown artists I experience a great sense of artistic
freedom in making these pieces I do not judge them I try to preserve the
beauty of unintentional marks and everyday jottings I try to enhance
them and contribute to them and make them into artworks that are not
the product of an individual ego including my own

In my latest series I have taken inspiration from early botanical
illustrations creating abstracted orchid corsages These pieces provide a
lasting current day alternative to commercial floral accessories while also
commenting on the idea of preciousness and rarity Other recent works in
this exhibition represent a continuing investigation of how wearable
objects interact with the surface of the body Using a variety of medical
adhesives and wound-treatment devices the brooches are worn directly
on the skin
Rebecca Strzelec All of my work is created in the digital environment using computer-aided
design When using the computer as a medium one is not just given a
new set of materials or tools but an entirely new method of construction
When the creative process is complete within the CAD environment the
objects are realized tangibly through the use of rapid prototyping Rapid
prototyping involves various computer-controlled machines that translate
CAD data into tangible objects The objects are built layer upon layer in
various plastics and photosensitive resins

M y source of inspiration is the topography and colors in the landscape
I find the forms shapes textures and colors around me fascinating And
I am intrigued that I can transform natural fibers into positive shapes and
sculptural forms
I created Langue du Viable to evoke a strong feeling of self in space
I incorporated floor and wall pieces to create an environment The threeshy
dimensional elements encourage you to relate to the size and scale of the
sculptural forms The wall relief invites you to come in and participate
in defining my fantasy
Georgette L Veeder I make paper from shredded cotton rags that I soak and beat in water
with a Hollander-type beater to hydrate the cellulose and separate the
individual fibers The basic color of my paper is due to the original color
of the cotton rags themselves but I also sometimes add additional pigment
to the pulp For this installation I made the original pieces in clay and
then produced rubber molds from the clay originals I then pressed my
wet pulp into the rubber molds Once dried I airbrushed some areas
with acrylic
My use of recycled cotton rags to make my paper is consistent with my
commitment to the environment I use handmade rag paper because it
is ecologically friendly and historically genuine I am always discovering
new potentials in handmade paper and at the same time I am developing
sensitivity to its limitations It is this balance that defines my creative
expression

W hen I took my first art history course I was fascinated by artists who
represented the sublime the awe-inspiring by reducing it to wall-sized
two dimensionality and hanging it in a museum The fact that I was
seeing the work of Friedrich Church Cole and others as photographic
reproductions in a warm darkened room increased the irony During a
visit to Olana Churchs home on the Hudson I learned that the landshy
scape which he saw from each room in his house was carefully planted
to create the most perfectly framed view possible
C=llristille ~elcll There is an amusing human impulse to reduce everything we encounter
to a more manageable scale and behavior Consider the development of
the frontier First over the horizon we saw a virgin wilderness In order to
get there more easily (always a human concern) we dig up stuff from one
place and put it in another and make a road Then we moved some more
stuff trees rocks more dirt and reassembled it into shelters from which
we can see what is left of the wilderness After we have removed as much
of the uncomfortable and dangerous as we can we replant the whole
place with manageable vegetation give it a name like Stonehenge or Deer
Run and stick some cement animals on the lawn to make it look more
like what The wilderness Over all this activity is that last vestige of the
sublime the sky that threatens storm drought flood blistering heat or
razor sharp cold

Mark Wonsidler Recently the poet Ann Lauterbach described poiesis as the making of
examples The poem she said is on the table between us Its invisible
Like faith or love I only know what it is by what you show me by what
you do In my practice the details of material form are always in relation
to a broader context This model is inescapably metonymic a string of
visible parts or actions point toward an unseen idea In Variant I these
actions include choosing painting or not painting and arranging The
form is a field of permutations old new circular oval square touched
untouched large small Each object is a version of the next asserting and
questioning the criteria which draw it into this constellation The second
Variant is a smaller sequence chosen by size and color Limited rather than
permutational its truncated order demands that each object surrender its
identity to pattern In the third piece Puzzle Box for Emily Dickinson form
is an open-ended sequence The components of the piece remain un-fixed
re-arrangeable Each new composition of the parts changes the last and
suggests a future of unnumbered variations The form is composed
between examples

Outside the Centers On the Edge
In the fall of 2002 I approached Dan Talley director of the Sharadin Art Gallery at
Kutztown University of Pennsylvania with a germ of an idea for a collaborative
exhibition As both an artist and a curator who lives just a little too far outside of a
major urban center to be considered for artist grants in that city I began tJ consider
the idea of how ones location particularly when one is positioned outside of a center
can bear on the opportunities one has as an artist Does existing on the hysical
periphery ultimately help or hinder in the building of ones reputation within those
centers Does that location effect ones approach toward artmaking and if so how
Talley developed the title of the exhibition and together we decigtied to organize a
show which would identify and encourage Pennsylvania artists who both live and
work outside of the major metropolitan centers of Philadelp ia and Pittsburgh
Our vision of the show however did not simply end with the notion of focusing on
regional artists As alluded to in the title we also were thinking about how the title
could describe an attitude or mental state tha( an artist may hold while working in these so-called remote places It seems that innovation and experimentation are qualities
recognized more in art made in urban centers while more traditional conventions
seem te dominate the artistic landscape in outlying areas Despite this tendency we
suspected that there are artists who work on the attitudinal edge of these places and
thus we sought to find them This did not mean that we were searching for artists
who seemed to be emulating trends seen within the centers either Instead we wanted
to locate those individuals who work from the edge their own edge independent
state or personal vision in order to produce strong and engaging art
Another consideration was to highlight art institutions postioned outside the centers
that serve their communities with new and innovative programming and invite their
participation Dan Mills from the Samek Art Gallery at Bucknell University Michael
Tomor from the Southern Alleghenies Art Museums and John Vanco from the Erie Art
Museum agreed to collaborate in the organization and curation of the project Each
participating institution will present the exhibition over the course of the next two years
While the general motivation for the exhibition grew out of personal experience our
focus on regional artists and institutions is tied to a growing trend seen within the art
world Over the course of the last decade large-scale reoccurring art exhibitions have
been held in places as economically politically and culturally diverse as Havana
Johannesburg Istanbul and Shanghai These exhibitions afford artists from those
regions and abroad not only visibility in the international art world they also shine a
light on the city itself as a cultural destination They promote diversity and business
while drawing attention to the distinctiveness of local and regional culture While
Outside the CentersOn the Edge does not cast as wide a net as these international
exhibitions it does seek to emphasize regional cultural strengths and artistic resources
So what does outside the centers on the edge look like We selected fifteen artists
who work in a variety of media and with a host of different subject matter as being
representative of the exhibitions theme The three photographers we selected create
work within art historical genres - landscape portraiture and still life - but do so by
representing places people and things seen throughout the state Christine Welch
photographs the crossroads that exist between the natural and the manufactured
environments of the region Her images not only depict the physical terrain they
also reveal the tension and irony that exists at the intersection of these two worlds
Shauna Frischkorn makes images of teenage boys playing video games She
photographs them illuminated by the glow of the television screen as they stare at
the often-violent games they play Although they are engaged in a task that requires
great focus and attention the boys wear blank and ironically passive expressions
Robert Raczkas interests are in the material culture of the everyday world He
photographs found arrangements of things that we produce acquire and display as
a way of revealing something about himself and the creators of these groupings
Other artists working two-dimensionally employ a variety of media and strategies
Carl Gustafsons large oil paintings explore the notion of time and transition within
a bounded space His part beastpart ghost figures appear to struggle to move within
the seemingly calm painted interiors that surround them N Sarangouliss mixed
media drawings and book objects use found paper and book pages as a starting point
for her work She combines discarded materials with drawn and painted elements

creating work that seems both old and new and reveals and conceals intensely
personal narratives Kristofer Harzinskis Departure series is made up of hand
cut plans of some of the nations largest airports The project turns the confusing
interplay of those spaces buildings planes and people into clean beautiful and
fragile objects In an era when public spaces such as these have become politically
charged arenas Harzinskis work raises timely questions about personal freedom and
collective responsibility
A wide array of media methods and strategies are applied by the artists working
three-dimensionally as well David Collins transforms the traditional and familiar
vessel form of the ceramic teapot into a sculptural object by playing with scale and
combining multiple materials with clay By doing so he explores material relationships
and also raises questions regarding function and utility Christina Bothwell uses cast
glass as her primary medium Each of her translucent figurative forms features an
inner cavity that she fills with other mysterious forms and objects The inherent nature
of the material allows her to experiment with not only the optical effects of glass
but its metaphorical properties as well As a result her sculptures are psychologically
charged and speak to issues of containment and vulnerability Rebecca Strzelec
creates objects employing current industrial technology Designing on the computer
and using rapid prototyping to shape her work she creates wearable pieces of jewelry
out of plastiC resin that physically attach to and interact with the surface of the body
The overall shapes and forms are derived by echoing the part of the body part on
which the sculptural form sits Bone muscle and ligament are suggested through
these delicate-looking but physically strong objects
Artists also use installation-based practices to build work Mark Wondsidler combines
found objects of various shapes sizes and functions to create mysterious and intriguing
forms Using an additive process he explores relationships between individual objects
and their overall arrangement while also drawing attention to the personal history of
each component Georgette Veeder examines the relationships which exist between
two- and three-dimensional space through the creation of large cast paper installations
that reference the natural environment Real and illustionistic space is explored though
the juxtaposition of floor-bound objects that are placed in front of relief elements that
hang from the wall Suzanne Farris focuses on tangible and intangible aspects of
environment Memory space privacy and aspects of comfort are some of the issues
her sensory-loaded installations address Daniel Burkes large mixed-media wall
installation also activates the senses through intense repetition of bird forms and the
human-made environments they often inhabit
Public art projects are also represented in Outside the CentersOn the Edge Amara
Geffen provides photo documentation of an ongoing collaborative project made with
the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation and regional students Read Between
the Signs uses recycled road signs to form a large-scale sculptural relief that mimics
the surrounding landscape of the Allegheny Mountains The project is not only tied
to the natural environment in which it sits but also to the hearts and minds of its
community members Lisa Austins public art project is more intimate in approach
than Geffens but is no less powerful Documentation of Child Garden for the ICU
shows her design of an environment which can be placed around a childs bed to
soften the clinical setting of the intensive care unit She has created a full scale model
of the deSign a table top version and is currently working on having this piece
mass-produced for use in hospitals
Travel to the periphery involves a commitment of time and energy which means that
these regiOns may often be overlooked due to the relative inconvenience of simply
getting there We also live in an age in which we can know about a place or feel
connected to a person through the push of a button or the click of a mouse In spite
of these factors this exhibition suggests that the journey outside of the centers is
worth the experience and the artists who choose these locations and the work they
produce are full of possibilites not limitations

Lisa Austin For months my daughter was a patient in an intensive care unit
At first my consciousness was limited to my child What began as an
emergency evolved into a bizarre normalcy Despite balloons and stuffed
animals the environment was starkly clinical Without darkness or
quiet there was no night Because of the danger of infection plants
were absent Televisions were plentiful windows were scarce Suffering
was expected In this semi-public arena children recovered or died I
witnessed a medical culture that effectively focused on the childs body
and rendered parents irrelevant
The Child Garden for the fCU brings a fictional nature into the intensive
care unit The original 6 tall wood steel and Formica sculpture proved
too large for hospital use Redesigned at quarter-scale for rotationalshy
molding manufacture the Child Garden for the fCU will attach to existing
hospital tray-tables With seven slightly varied stylized plant forms the
artwork will offer a quiet visual oasis to patients and their families
While researching grants and searching for a suitable non-profit partner
to accept profits from this project Ive collaborated with Alisa Dix and
Jeffrey Brunner to publish a booklet version of the Child Garden for the fCU

In my work I am drawn to the processes of birth death and renewal
What lies below the surface fascinates me and I try to capture the
qualities of the unseen that express the sense of wonder that I feel in
my daily existence
I am attracted to glass because it can do everything that other sculptural
mediums can in addition it offers an inner space and transmits light
My subject matter includes babies animals and children as they embody
the essence of vulnerability that is the underlying theme in my work
Christina L Bothwell Currently I am exploring metamorphosis as a topic and have been
incorporating figures within figures in my pieces Within each glass figure
there is a smaller figure seen through the surface of the glass
I think of these pieces as souls each being pregnant with their own
potential giving birth to new improved versions of themselves

Daniel Burke bullbullbull Ofa feather is a display It is an arrangement of parts and sections
about a topic that I began exploring about four or five years ago At the
time I was often visited by birds as I ate lunch on my studio rooftop
Initially I shared scraps of bread with the birds and this feeding gradually
gave way to intense observation and eventually to photographs drawings
and painted studies of them The observation inspired library work on
birds - research on their types flight patterns habitat etc I eventually
began making and playing with parts - lots of parts paintings of trees
foliage ground covers and bird forms - both resting and flying The
parts were cut out and painted then placed on domino shapes or backed
with clothes-pins so that they could be placed anywhere The parts grew
into bird facades and cutouts of fences poles bushes and gates (places for
them to perch) I eventually had enough material so that I could begin to
organize the elements While arranging the individual parts the overall
artwork demonstrated its needs some of the original parts and sections
were taken away while other new pieces were made and added to the
final assemblage While I continue to explore other bird displays I am
currently working on parts that will go into pieces about vessel forms

From utilitarian object to fine art the role of the ceramic vessel has
undergone many changes throughout history Many things ranging
from the Industrial Revolution to the theories found in Modernist and
Post-Modernist thinking have prompted these changes In a fine art
context the vessel has become an arena of exploration similar to that
of other art media My interests lie in what constitutes the function of
the vessel both socially and in terms of utility
David T Collins Regarding the Functility series the artist potter imposed function of each
piece is that of vehicle A vehicle that sheds its utilitarian premise to
self referentially ponder its own utilitarian role by manifesting itself and
therefore examining itself through the eyes of other than ceramics
structures materials and systems This vessel role playing proposes what
I see as the inherent properties of the ceramic vessel space function and
utility This role playing or hybridization also examines the constructs
of language and identity with regard to art objecthood and craft by
attempting to de-center or test the constructs of our own expectations
of what a teapot should be My intention is for these pieces to serve as
an exercise or examples of what can be

When I wake up in the middle of a dream I remember almost everyshy
thing the color of the room the person walking by the smell of the air
the direction of the light and the way I am moving within it I believe
our memories are similarly constructed It is the blending of time event
objects and environment that constructs a permanent impression on our
conscious and subconscious mind
To me this combination of events and impressions that happen in our
dreams and waking lives is recorded within our memories and combined
to create a notion of place I define place as where we live how we feel
what we believe is important and insignificant it is the core of who we
are and the locations we inhabit
Suzanne Faris I am interested in exploring this multiplicity that exists within the
depths of the places within myself and my perception of who and what
surrounds me The work I am currently doing is intended to engage the
viewer through the construction of the essence of a place event or
circumstance influenced more heavily through concept and construction
by memory and impression than rational organization

G ame Boys is an ongoing portrait series of young men engaged in a
familiar pastime - they are playing video games For the past two years
I have been photographing video game players who come to my studio
sit in the dark and play for hours while I quietly watch and shoot The
studio setting lends a theatrical quality to this commonplace activity
Sometimes I watch the game to see a particularly interesting sequence
but mostly I just watch the game players I seek to explore the popular
culture phenomenon of video games by examining the garners who play
them Because my work is rooted in the tradition of portrait photography
I look beyond the hype surrounding video games and focus on the players
themselves Traditionally the belief has been that a portrait could tell us
a great deal about a subject a window into a persons inner character
could be found through facial expressions Although the expressions on
my subjects may appear to be passive the garners in these photographs
are actually performing fast-paced maneuvers and executing split-second
decisions making these portraits of intense concentration

art installation Since 2002 when the project began annual charettes
involving over 100 collaborators have been held to gather community
input Allegheny College and community interns hired with support from
Allegheny Colleges Center for Economic and Environmental Development
(CEED) then set up shop at the local PennDOT facility spending eleven
weeks in residence each summer Under the direction of artist this team
then works to refine and implement community designs fabricating

Carl Gustafson In these paintings it is my intention to create a new experience in the
way of looking at life I am searching for ways to visually represent the
extremes humanity is emotionally and physically capable of It is my hope
that the viewer will relate to these images in a similar way while also
drawing their own conclusions and applying them to their own life

The Departure Series presents the 17 largest airports in the United States
Each object is an accurate map of the airports runways taxiways hangars
and terminals hand-cut from paper
Kristofer Harzinski Airports are spaces we all have in common They hold onto us for a
temporary pit stop on a long journey They are curious intermediate
zones only slightly different from one another Each airport vaporously
reflects its location There is slight diversity a distance between here and
home but immediately we recognize most of the elements We know this
place We understand what to do here even though we have never been
here before While there for a few hours or just a few minutes we
momentarily come into contact with thousands of people People who
normally have nothing in common today are briefly joined in a single
location People who we will never see again in our lives are seated next
to us waiting just as we are for the end of the journey
The paper airport is intricate and fragile Please realize your paper airport
will not last forever Yet it may outlast its more permanent relatives

These digital photographs reflect my long-standing interest in material
culture - the things that we produce acquire and arrange for their
usefulness and aesthetic qualities Variously the photographs in this series
depict objects arranged carefully or haphazardly for art students to draw
merchandise offered in stores or store window displays and miscellaneous
collections of items in homes and offices None of these things were
arranged by me or for me but even the more transparent of these
photographs include my subjective response that significantly alters the
apparent intentions of the people who arranged them
Robert Raczka The photographs are meant to have a playfully surreal quality As the
largely - but not entirely - practical intentions of the people who
arranged them intersect with my aesthetic and conceptual intentions
these photographs say something about me as well as something about
the individuals who arranged them and the culture that produced them
though it would be impossible for viewers to accurately disentangle
those forces This does not in my thinking constitute a problem

The artwork that I am making at this time involves finding discarded
and unwanted papers books and paintings I then turn them into new
works of art I draw and paint on top of them add things to them
resurrect them and give them a new life Like a physician I try to help
and heal them and give them new meanings and purposes Pages is part
of a larger body of work called The Clarence Series I purchased Clarences
school work at an auction I dont know him but I know that he saved
all of his homework from grade school through accounting school I am
a collaborator on a grand scale working with many individuals like
Clarence and other unknown artists I experience a great sense of artistic
freedom in making these pieces I do not judge them I try to preserve the
beauty of unintentional marks and everyday jottings I try to enhance
them and contribute to them and make them into artworks that are not
the product of an individual ego including my own

In my latest series I have taken inspiration from early botanical
illustrations creating abstracted orchid corsages These pieces provide a
lasting current day alternative to commercial floral accessories while also
commenting on the idea of preciousness and rarity Other recent works in
this exhibition represent a continuing investigation of how wearable
objects interact with the surface of the body Using a variety of medical
adhesives and wound-treatment devices the brooches are worn directly
on the skin
Rebecca Strzelec All of my work is created in the digital environment using computer-aided
design When using the computer as a medium one is not just given a
new set of materials or tools but an entirely new method of construction
When the creative process is complete within the CAD environment the
objects are realized tangibly through the use of rapid prototyping Rapid
prototyping involves various computer-controlled machines that translate
CAD data into tangible objects The objects are built layer upon layer in
various plastics and photosensitive resins

M y source of inspiration is the topography and colors in the landscape
I find the forms shapes textures and colors around me fascinating And
I am intrigued that I can transform natural fibers into positive shapes and
sculptural forms
I created Langue du Viable to evoke a strong feeling of self in space
I incorporated floor and wall pieces to create an environment The threeshy
dimensional elements encourage you to relate to the size and scale of the
sculptural forms The wall relief invites you to come in and participate
in defining my fantasy
Georgette L Veeder I make paper from shredded cotton rags that I soak and beat in water
with a Hollander-type beater to hydrate the cellulose and separate the
individual fibers The basic color of my paper is due to the original color
of the cotton rags themselves but I also sometimes add additional pigment
to the pulp For this installation I made the original pieces in clay and
then produced rubber molds from the clay originals I then pressed my
wet pulp into the rubber molds Once dried I airbrushed some areas
with acrylic
My use of recycled cotton rags to make my paper is consistent with my
commitment to the environment I use handmade rag paper because it
is ecologically friendly and historically genuine I am always discovering
new potentials in handmade paper and at the same time I am developing
sensitivity to its limitations It is this balance that defines my creative
expression

W hen I took my first art history course I was fascinated by artists who
represented the sublime the awe-inspiring by reducing it to wall-sized
two dimensionality and hanging it in a museum The fact that I was
seeing the work of Friedrich Church Cole and others as photographic
reproductions in a warm darkened room increased the irony During a
visit to Olana Churchs home on the Hudson I learned that the landshy
scape which he saw from each room in his house was carefully planted
to create the most perfectly framed view possible
C=llristille ~elcll There is an amusing human impulse to reduce everything we encounter
to a more manageable scale and behavior Consider the development of
the frontier First over the horizon we saw a virgin wilderness In order to
get there more easily (always a human concern) we dig up stuff from one
place and put it in another and make a road Then we moved some more
stuff trees rocks more dirt and reassembled it into shelters from which
we can see what is left of the wilderness After we have removed as much
of the uncomfortable and dangerous as we can we replant the whole
place with manageable vegetation give it a name like Stonehenge or Deer
Run and stick some cement animals on the lawn to make it look more
like what The wilderness Over all this activity is that last vestige of the
sublime the sky that threatens storm drought flood blistering heat or
razor sharp cold

Mark Wonsidler Recently the poet Ann Lauterbach described poiesis as the making of
examples The poem she said is on the table between us Its invisible
Like faith or love I only know what it is by what you show me by what
you do In my practice the details of material form are always in relation
to a broader context This model is inescapably metonymic a string of
visible parts or actions point toward an unseen idea In Variant I these
actions include choosing painting or not painting and arranging The
form is a field of permutations old new circular oval square touched
untouched large small Each object is a version of the next asserting and
questioning the criteria which draw it into this constellation The second
Variant is a smaller sequence chosen by size and color Limited rather than
permutational its truncated order demands that each object surrender its
identity to pattern In the third piece Puzzle Box for Emily Dickinson form
is an open-ended sequence The components of the piece remain un-fixed
re-arrangeable Each new composition of the parts changes the last and
suggests a future of unnumbered variations The form is composed
between examples

Outside the Centers On the Edge
In the fall of 2002 I approached Dan Talley director of the Sharadin Art Gallery at
Kutztown University of Pennsylvania with a germ of an idea for a collaborative
exhibition As both an artist and a curator who lives just a little too far outside of a
major urban center to be considered for artist grants in that city I began tJ consider
the idea of how ones location particularly when one is positioned outside of a center
can bear on the opportunities one has as an artist Does existing on the hysical
periphery ultimately help or hinder in the building of ones reputation within those
centers Does that location effect ones approach toward artmaking and if so how
Talley developed the title of the exhibition and together we decigtied to organize a
show which would identify and encourage Pennsylvania artists who both live and
work outside of the major metropolitan centers of Philadelp ia and Pittsburgh
Our vision of the show however did not simply end with the notion of focusing on
regional artists As alluded to in the title we also were thinking about how the title
could describe an attitude or mental state tha( an artist may hold while working in these so-called remote places It seems that innovation and experimentation are qualities
recognized more in art made in urban centers while more traditional conventions
seem te dominate the artistic landscape in outlying areas Despite this tendency we
suspected that there are artists who work on the attitudinal edge of these places and
thus we sought to find them This did not mean that we were searching for artists
who seemed to be emulating trends seen within the centers either Instead we wanted
to locate those individuals who work from the edge their own edge independent
state or personal vision in order to produce strong and engaging art
Another consideration was to highlight art institutions postioned outside the centers
that serve their communities with new and innovative programming and invite their
participation Dan Mills from the Samek Art Gallery at Bucknell University Michael
Tomor from the Southern Alleghenies Art Museums and John Vanco from the Erie Art
Museum agreed to collaborate in the organization and curation of the project Each
participating institution will present the exhibition over the course of the next two years
While the general motivation for the exhibition grew out of personal experience our
focus on regional artists and institutions is tied to a growing trend seen within the art
world Over the course of the last decade large-scale reoccurring art exhibitions have
been held in places as economically politically and culturally diverse as Havana
Johannesburg Istanbul and Shanghai These exhibitions afford artists from those
regions and abroad not only visibility in the international art world they also shine a
light on the city itself as a cultural destination They promote diversity and business
while drawing attention to the distinctiveness of local and regional culture While
Outside the CentersOn the Edge does not cast as wide a net as these international
exhibitions it does seek to emphasize regional cultural strengths and artistic resources
So what does outside the centers on the edge look like We selected fifteen artists
who work in a variety of media and with a host of different subject matter as being
representative of the exhibitions theme The three photographers we selected create
work within art historical genres - landscape portraiture and still life - but do so by
representing places people and things seen throughout the state Christine Welch
photographs the crossroads that exist between the natural and the manufactured
environments of the region Her images not only depict the physical terrain they
also reveal the tension and irony that exists at the intersection of these two worlds
Shauna Frischkorn makes images of teenage boys playing video games She
photographs them illuminated by the glow of the television screen as they stare at
the often-violent games they play Although they are engaged in a task that requires
great focus and attention the boys wear blank and ironically passive expressions
Robert Raczkas interests are in the material culture of the everyday world He
photographs found arrangements of things that we produce acquire and display as
a way of revealing something about himself and the creators of these groupings
Other artists working two-dimensionally employ a variety of media and strategies
Carl Gustafsons large oil paintings explore the notion of time and transition within
a bounded space His part beastpart ghost figures appear to struggle to move within
the seemingly calm painted interiors that surround them N Sarangouliss mixed
media drawings and book objects use found paper and book pages as a starting point
for her work She combines discarded materials with drawn and painted elements

creating work that seems both old and new and reveals and conceals intensely
personal narratives Kristofer Harzinskis Departure series is made up of hand
cut plans of some of the nations largest airports The project turns the confusing
interplay of those spaces buildings planes and people into clean beautiful and
fragile objects In an era when public spaces such as these have become politically
charged arenas Harzinskis work raises timely questions about personal freedom and
collective responsibility
A wide array of media methods and strategies are applied by the artists working
three-dimensionally as well David Collins transforms the traditional and familiar
vessel form of the ceramic teapot into a sculptural object by playing with scale and
combining multiple materials with clay By doing so he explores material relationships
and also raises questions regarding function and utility Christina Bothwell uses cast
glass as her primary medium Each of her translucent figurative forms features an
inner cavity that she fills with other mysterious forms and objects The inherent nature
of the material allows her to experiment with not only the optical effects of glass
but its metaphorical properties as well As a result her sculptures are psychologically
charged and speak to issues of containment and vulnerability Rebecca Strzelec
creates objects employing current industrial technology Designing on the computer
and using rapid prototyping to shape her work she creates wearable pieces of jewelry
out of plastiC resin that physically attach to and interact with the surface of the body
The overall shapes and forms are derived by echoing the part of the body part on
which the sculptural form sits Bone muscle and ligament are suggested through
these delicate-looking but physically strong objects
Artists also use installation-based practices to build work Mark Wondsidler combines
found objects of various shapes sizes and functions to create mysterious and intriguing
forms Using an additive process he explores relationships between individual objects
and their overall arrangement while also drawing attention to the personal history of
each component Georgette Veeder examines the relationships which exist between
two- and three-dimensional space through the creation of large cast paper installations
that reference the natural environment Real and illustionistic space is explored though
the juxtaposition of floor-bound objects that are placed in front of relief elements that
hang from the wall Suzanne Farris focuses on tangible and intangible aspects of
environment Memory space privacy and aspects of comfort are some of the issues
her sensory-loaded installations address Daniel Burkes large mixed-media wall
installation also activates the senses through intense repetition of bird forms and the
human-made environments they often inhabit
Public art projects are also represented in Outside the CentersOn the Edge Amara
Geffen provides photo documentation of an ongoing collaborative project made with
the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation and regional students Read Between
the Signs uses recycled road signs to form a large-scale sculptural relief that mimics
the surrounding landscape of the Allegheny Mountains The project is not only tied
to the natural environment in which it sits but also to the hearts and minds of its
community members Lisa Austins public art project is more intimate in approach
than Geffens but is no less powerful Documentation of Child Garden for the ICU
shows her design of an environment which can be placed around a childs bed to
soften the clinical setting of the intensive care unit She has created a full scale model
of the deSign a table top version and is currently working on having this piece
mass-produced for use in hospitals
Travel to the periphery involves a commitment of time and energy which means that
these regiOns may often be overlooked due to the relative inconvenience of simply
getting there We also live in an age in which we can know about a place or feel
connected to a person through the push of a button or the click of a mouse In spite
of these factors this exhibition suggests that the journey outside of the centers is
worth the experience and the artists who choose these locations and the work they
produce are full of possibilites not limitations

Lisa Austin For months my daughter was a patient in an intensive care unit
At first my consciousness was limited to my child What began as an
emergency evolved into a bizarre normalcy Despite balloons and stuffed
animals the environment was starkly clinical Without darkness or
quiet there was no night Because of the danger of infection plants
were absent Televisions were plentiful windows were scarce Suffering
was expected In this semi-public arena children recovered or died I
witnessed a medical culture that effectively focused on the childs body
and rendered parents irrelevant
The Child Garden for the fCU brings a fictional nature into the intensive
care unit The original 6 tall wood steel and Formica sculpture proved
too large for hospital use Redesigned at quarter-scale for rotationalshy
molding manufacture the Child Garden for the fCU will attach to existing
hospital tray-tables With seven slightly varied stylized plant forms the
artwork will offer a quiet visual oasis to patients and their families
While researching grants and searching for a suitable non-profit partner
to accept profits from this project Ive collaborated with Alisa Dix and
Jeffrey Brunner to publish a booklet version of the Child Garden for the fCU

In my work I am drawn to the processes of birth death and renewal
What lies below the surface fascinates me and I try to capture the
qualities of the unseen that express the sense of wonder that I feel in
my daily existence
I am attracted to glass because it can do everything that other sculptural
mediums can in addition it offers an inner space and transmits light
My subject matter includes babies animals and children as they embody
the essence of vulnerability that is the underlying theme in my work
Christina L Bothwell Currently I am exploring metamorphosis as a topic and have been
incorporating figures within figures in my pieces Within each glass figure
there is a smaller figure seen through the surface of the glass
I think of these pieces as souls each being pregnant with their own
potential giving birth to new improved versions of themselves

Daniel Burke bullbullbull Ofa feather is a display It is an arrangement of parts and sections
about a topic that I began exploring about four or five years ago At the
time I was often visited by birds as I ate lunch on my studio rooftop
Initially I shared scraps of bread with the birds and this feeding gradually
gave way to intense observation and eventually to photographs drawings
and painted studies of them The observation inspired library work on
birds - research on their types flight patterns habitat etc I eventually
began making and playing with parts - lots of parts paintings of trees
foliage ground covers and bird forms - both resting and flying The
parts were cut out and painted then placed on domino shapes or backed
with clothes-pins so that they could be placed anywhere The parts grew
into bird facades and cutouts of fences poles bushes and gates (places for
them to perch) I eventually had enough material so that I could begin to
organize the elements While arranging the individual parts the overall
artwork demonstrated its needs some of the original parts and sections
were taken away while other new pieces were made and added to the
final assemblage While I continue to explore other bird displays I am
currently working on parts that will go into pieces about vessel forms

From utilitarian object to fine art the role of the ceramic vessel has
undergone many changes throughout history Many things ranging
from the Industrial Revolution to the theories found in Modernist and
Post-Modernist thinking have prompted these changes In a fine art
context the vessel has become an arena of exploration similar to that
of other art media My interests lie in what constitutes the function of
the vessel both socially and in terms of utility
David T Collins Regarding the Functility series the artist potter imposed function of each
piece is that of vehicle A vehicle that sheds its utilitarian premise to
self referentially ponder its own utilitarian role by manifesting itself and
therefore examining itself through the eyes of other than ceramics
structures materials and systems This vessel role playing proposes what
I see as the inherent properties of the ceramic vessel space function and
utility This role playing or hybridization also examines the constructs
of language and identity with regard to art objecthood and craft by
attempting to de-center or test the constructs of our own expectations
of what a teapot should be My intention is for these pieces to serve as
an exercise or examples of what can be

When I wake up in the middle of a dream I remember almost everyshy
thing the color of the room the person walking by the smell of the air
the direction of the light and the way I am moving within it I believe
our memories are similarly constructed It is the blending of time event
objects and environment that constructs a permanent impression on our
conscious and subconscious mind
To me this combination of events and impressions that happen in our
dreams and waking lives is recorded within our memories and combined
to create a notion of place I define place as where we live how we feel
what we believe is important and insignificant it is the core of who we
are and the locations we inhabit
Suzanne Faris I am interested in exploring this multiplicity that exists within the
depths of the places within myself and my perception of who and what
surrounds me The work I am currently doing is intended to engage the
viewer through the construction of the essence of a place event or
circumstance influenced more heavily through concept and construction
by memory and impression than rational organization

G ame Boys is an ongoing portrait series of young men engaged in a
familiar pastime - they are playing video games For the past two years
I have been photographing video game players who come to my studio
sit in the dark and play for hours while I quietly watch and shoot The
studio setting lends a theatrical quality to this commonplace activity
Sometimes I watch the game to see a particularly interesting sequence
but mostly I just watch the game players I seek to explore the popular
culture phenomenon of video games by examining the garners who play
them Because my work is rooted in the tradition of portrait photography
I look beyond the hype surrounding video games and focus on the players
themselves Traditionally the belief has been that a portrait could tell us
a great deal about a subject a window into a persons inner character
could be found through facial expressions Although the expressions on
my subjects may appear to be passive the garners in these photographs
are actually performing fast-paced maneuvers and executing split-second
decisions making these portraits of intense concentration

Amara Geffen The project a partnership between Amara Geffen PennDOT and
Allegheny College is a community based collaborative environmental
art installation Since 2002 when the project began annual charettes
involving over 100 collaborators have been held to gather community
input Allegheny College and community interns hired with support from
Allegheny Colleges Center for Economic and Environmental Development
(CEED) then set up shop at the local PennDOT facility spending eleven
weeks in residence each summer Under the direction of artist this team
then works to refine and implement community designs fabricating
between 100-250 feet of the project each summer
To date 730 feet have been produced when completed Read Between the

Carl Gustafson In these paintings it is my intention to create a new experience in the
way of looking at life I am searching for ways to visually represent the
extremes humanity is emotionally and physically capable of It is my hope
that the viewer will relate to these images in a similar way while also
drawing their own conclusions and applying them to their own life

The Departure Series presents the 17 largest airports in the United States
Each object is an accurate map of the airports runways taxiways hangars
and terminals hand-cut from paper
Kristofer Harzinski Airports are spaces we all have in common They hold onto us for a
temporary pit stop on a long journey They are curious intermediate
zones only slightly different from one another Each airport vaporously
reflects its location There is slight diversity a distance between here and
home but immediately we recognize most of the elements We know this
place We understand what to do here even though we have never been
here before While there for a few hours or just a few minutes we
momentarily come into contact with thousands of people People who
normally have nothing in common today are briefly joined in a single
location People who we will never see again in our lives are seated next
to us waiting just as we are for the end of the journey
The paper airport is intricate and fragile Please realize your paper airport
will not last forever Yet it may outlast its more permanent relatives

These digital photographs reflect my long-standing interest in material
culture - the things that we produce acquire and arrange for their
usefulness and aesthetic qualities Variously the photographs in this series
depict objects arranged carefully or haphazardly for art students to draw
merchandise offered in stores or store window displays and miscellaneous
collections of items in homes and offices None of these things were
arranged by me or for me but even the more transparent of these
photographs include my subjective response that significantly alters the
apparent intentions of the people who arranged them
Robert Raczka The photographs are meant to have a playfully surreal quality As the
largely - but not entirely - practical intentions of the people who
arranged them intersect with my aesthetic and conceptual intentions
these photographs say something about me as well as something about
the individuals who arranged them and the culture that produced them
though it would be impossible for viewers to accurately disentangle
those forces This does not in my thinking constitute a problem

a collaborator on a grand scale working with many individuals like
Clarence and other unknown artists I experience a great sense of artistic
freedom in making these pieces I do not judge them I try to preserve the
beauty of unintentional marks and everyday jottings I try to enhance
them and contribute to them and make them into artworks that are not
the product of an individual ego including my own

In my latest series I have taken inspiration from early botanical
illustrations creating abstracted orchid corsages These pieces provide a
lasting current day alternative to commercial floral accessories while also
commenting on the idea of preciousness and rarity Other recent works in
this exhibition represent a continuing investigation of how wearable
objects interact with the surface of the body Using a variety of medical
adhesives and wound-treatment devices the brooches are worn directly
on the skin
Rebecca Strzelec All of my work is created in the digital environment using computer-aided
design When using the computer as a medium one is not just given a
new set of materials or tools but an entirely new method of construction
When the creative process is complete within the CAD environment the
objects are realized tangibly through the use of rapid prototyping Rapid
prototyping involves various computer-controlled machines that translate
CAD data into tangible objects The objects are built layer upon layer in
various plastics and photosensitive resins

M y source of inspiration is the topography and colors in the landscape
I find the forms shapes textures and colors around me fascinating And
I am intrigued that I can transform natural fibers into positive shapes and
sculptural forms
I created Langue du Viable to evoke a strong feeling of self in space
I incorporated floor and wall pieces to create an environment The threeshy
dimensional elements encourage you to relate to the size and scale of the
sculptural forms The wall relief invites you to come in and participate
in defining my fantasy
Georgette L Veeder I make paper from shredded cotton rags that I soak and beat in water
with a Hollander-type beater to hydrate the cellulose and separate the
individual fibers The basic color of my paper is due to the original color
of the cotton rags themselves but I also sometimes add additional pigment
to the pulp For this installation I made the original pieces in clay and
then produced rubber molds from the clay originals I then pressed my
wet pulp into the rubber molds Once dried I airbrushed some areas
with acrylic
My use of recycled cotton rags to make my paper is consistent with my
commitment to the environment I use handmade rag paper because it
is ecologically friendly and historically genuine I am always discovering
new potentials in handmade paper and at the same time I am developing
sensitivity to its limitations It is this balance that defines my creative
expression

W hen I took my first art history course I was fascinated by artists who
represented the sublime the awe-inspiring by reducing it to wall-sized
two dimensionality and hanging it in a museum The fact that I was
seeing the work of Friedrich Church Cole and others as photographic
reproductions in a warm darkened room increased the irony During a
visit to Olana Churchs home on the Hudson I learned that the landshy
scape which he saw from each room in his house was carefully planted
to create the most perfectly framed view possible
C=llristille ~elcll There is an amusing human impulse to reduce everything we encounter
to a more manageable scale and behavior Consider the development of
the frontier First over the horizon we saw a virgin wilderness In order to
get there more easily (always a human concern) we dig up stuff from one
place and put it in another and make a road Then we moved some more
stuff trees rocks more dirt and reassembled it into shelters from which
we can see what is left of the wilderness After we have removed as much
of the uncomfortable and dangerous as we can we replant the whole
place with manageable vegetation give it a name like Stonehenge or Deer
Run and stick some cement animals on the lawn to make it look more
like what The wilderness Over all this activity is that last vestige of the
sublime the sky that threatens storm drought flood blistering heat or
razor sharp cold

Mark Wonsidler Recently the poet Ann Lauterbach described poiesis as the making of
examples The poem she said is on the table between us Its invisible
Like faith or love I only know what it is by what you show me by what
you do In my practice the details of material form are always in relation
to a broader context This model is inescapably metonymic a string of
visible parts or actions point toward an unseen idea In Variant I these
actions include choosing painting or not painting and arranging The
form is a field of permutations old new circular oval square touched
untouched large small Each object is a version of the next asserting and
questioning the criteria which draw it into this constellation The second
Variant is a smaller sequence chosen by size and color Limited rather than
permutational its truncated order demands that each object surrender its
identity to pattern In the third piece Puzzle Box for Emily Dickinson form
is an open-ended sequence The components of the piece remain un-fixed
re-arrangeable Each new composition of the parts changes the last and
suggests a future of unnumbered variations The form is composed
between examples

Outside the Centers On the Edge
In the fall of 2002 I approached Dan Talley director of the Sharadin Art Gallery at
Kutztown University of Pennsylvania with a germ of an idea for a collaborative
exhibition As both an artist and a curator who lives just a little too far outside of a
major urban center to be considered for artist grants in that city I began tJ consider
the idea of how ones location particularly when one is positioned outside of a center
can bear on the opportunities one has as an artist Does existing on the hysical
periphery ultimately help or hinder in the building of ones reputation within those
centers Does that location effect ones approach toward artmaking and if so how
Talley developed the title of the exhibition and together we decigtied to organize a
show which would identify and encourage Pennsylvania artists who both live and
work outside of the major metropolitan centers of Philadelp ia and Pittsburgh
Our vision of the show however did not simply end with the notion of focusing on
regional artists As alluded to in the title we also were thinking about how the title
could describe an attitude or mental state tha( an artist may hold while working in these so-called remote places It seems that innovation and experimentation are qualities
recognized more in art made in urban centers while more traditional conventions
seem te dominate the artistic landscape in outlying areas Despite this tendency we
suspected that there are artists who work on the attitudinal edge of these places and
thus we sought to find them This did not mean that we were searching for artists
who seemed to be emulating trends seen within the centers either Instead we wanted
to locate those individuals who work from the edge their own edge independent
state or personal vision in order to produce strong and engaging art
Another consideration was to highlight art institutions postioned outside the centers
that serve their communities with new and innovative programming and invite their
participation Dan Mills from the Samek Art Gallery at Bucknell University Michael
Tomor from the Southern Alleghenies Art Museums and John Vanco from the Erie Art
Museum agreed to collaborate in the organization and curation of the project Each
participating institution will present the exhibition over the course of the next two years
While the general motivation for the exhibition grew out of personal experience our
focus on regional artists and institutions is tied to a growing trend seen within the art
world Over the course of the last decade large-scale reoccurring art exhibitions have
been held in places as economically politically and culturally diverse as Havana
Johannesburg Istanbul and Shanghai These exhibitions afford artists from those
regions and abroad not only visibility in the international art world they also shine a
light on the city itself as a cultural destination They promote diversity and business
while drawing attention to the distinctiveness of local and regional culture While
Outside the CentersOn the Edge does not cast as wide a net as these international
exhibitions it does seek to emphasize regional cultural strengths and artistic resources
So what does outside the centers on the edge look like We selected fifteen artists
who work in a variety of media and with a host of different subject matter as being
representative of the exhibitions theme The three photographers we selected create
work within art historical genres - landscape portraiture and still life - but do so by
representing places people and things seen throughout the state Christine Welch
photographs the crossroads that exist between the natural and the manufactured
environments of the region Her images not only depict the physical terrain they
also reveal the tension and irony that exists at the intersection of these two worlds
Shauna Frischkorn makes images of teenage boys playing video games She
photographs them illuminated by the glow of the television screen as they stare at
the often-violent games they play Although they are engaged in a task that requires
great focus and attention the boys wear blank and ironically passive expressions
Robert Raczkas interests are in the material culture of the everyday world He
photographs found arrangements of things that we produce acquire and display as
a way of revealing something about himself and the creators of these groupings
Other artists working two-dimensionally employ a variety of media and strategies
Carl Gustafsons large oil paintings explore the notion of time and transition within
a bounded space His part beastpart ghost figures appear to struggle to move within
the seemingly calm painted interiors that surround them N Sarangouliss mixed
media drawings and book objects use found paper and book pages as a starting point
for her work She combines discarded materials with drawn and painted elements

creating work that seems both old and new and reveals and conceals intensely
personal narratives Kristofer Harzinskis Departure series is made up of hand
cut plans of some of the nations largest airports The project turns the confusing
interplay of those spaces buildings planes and people into clean beautiful and
fragile objects In an era when public spaces such as these have become politically
charged arenas Harzinskis work raises timely questions about personal freedom and
collective responsibility
A wide array of media methods and strategies are applied by the artists working
three-dimensionally as well David Collins transforms the traditional and familiar
vessel form of the ceramic teapot into a sculptural object by playing with scale and
combining multiple materials with clay By doing so he explores material relationships
and also raises questions regarding function and utility Christina Bothwell uses cast
glass as her primary medium Each of her translucent figurative forms features an
inner cavity that she fills with other mysterious forms and objects The inherent nature
of the material allows her to experiment with not only the optical effects of glass
but its metaphorical properties as well As a result her sculptures are psychologically
charged and speak to issues of containment and vulnerability Rebecca Strzelec
creates objects employing current industrial technology Designing on the computer
and using rapid prototyping to shape her work she creates wearable pieces of jewelry
out of plastiC resin that physically attach to and interact with the surface of the body
The overall shapes and forms are derived by echoing the part of the body part on
which the sculptural form sits Bone muscle and ligament are suggested through
these delicate-looking but physically strong objects
Artists also use installation-based practices to build work Mark Wondsidler combines
found objects of various shapes sizes and functions to create mysterious and intriguing
forms Using an additive process he explores relationships between individual objects
and their overall arrangement while also drawing attention to the personal history of
each component Georgette Veeder examines the relationships which exist between
two- and three-dimensional space through the creation of large cast paper installations
that reference the natural environment Real and illustionistic space is explored though
the juxtaposition of floor-bound objects that are placed in front of relief elements that
hang from the wall Suzanne Farris focuses on tangible and intangible aspects of
environment Memory space privacy and aspects of comfort are some of the issues
her sensory-loaded installations address Daniel Burkes large mixed-media wall
installation also activates the senses through intense repetition of bird forms and the
human-made environments they often inhabit
Public art projects are also represented in Outside the CentersOn the Edge Amara
Geffen provides photo documentation of an ongoing collaborative project made with
the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation and regional students Read Between
the Signs uses recycled road signs to form a large-scale sculptural relief that mimics
the surrounding landscape of the Allegheny Mountains The project is not only tied
to the natural environment in which it sits but also to the hearts and minds of its
community members Lisa Austins public art project is more intimate in approach
than Geffens but is no less powerful Documentation of Child Garden for the ICU
shows her design of an environment which can be placed around a childs bed to
soften the clinical setting of the intensive care unit She has created a full scale model
of the deSign a table top version and is currently working on having this piece
mass-produced for use in hospitals
Travel to the periphery involves a commitment of time and energy which means that
these regiOns may often be overlooked due to the relative inconvenience of simply
getting there We also live in an age in which we can know about a place or feel
connected to a person through the push of a button or the click of a mouse In spite
of these factors this exhibition suggests that the journey outside of the centers is
worth the experience and the artists who choose these locations and the work they
produce are full of possibilites not limitations

Lisa Austin For months my daughter was a patient in an intensive care unit
At first my consciousness was limited to my child What began as an
emergency evolved into a bizarre normalcy Despite balloons and stuffed
animals the environment was starkly clinical Without darkness or
quiet there was no night Because of the danger of infection plants
were absent Televisions were plentiful windows were scarce Suffering
was expected In this semi-public arena children recovered or died I
witnessed a medical culture that effectively focused on the childs body
and rendered parents irrelevant
The Child Garden for the fCU brings a fictional nature into the intensive
care unit The original 6 tall wood steel and Formica sculpture proved
too large for hospital use Redesigned at quarter-scale for rotationalshy
molding manufacture the Child Garden for the fCU will attach to existing
hospital tray-tables With seven slightly varied stylized plant forms the
artwork will offer a quiet visual oasis to patients and their families
While researching grants and searching for a suitable non-profit partner
to accept profits from this project Ive collaborated with Alisa Dix and
Jeffrey Brunner to publish a booklet version of the Child Garden for the fCU

In my work I am drawn to the processes of birth death and renewal
What lies below the surface fascinates me and I try to capture the
qualities of the unseen that express the sense of wonder that I feel in
my daily existence
I am attracted to glass because it can do everything that other sculptural
mediums can in addition it offers an inner space and transmits light
My subject matter includes babies animals and children as they embody
the essence of vulnerability that is the underlying theme in my work
Christina L Bothwell Currently I am exploring metamorphosis as a topic and have been
incorporating figures within figures in my pieces Within each glass figure
there is a smaller figure seen through the surface of the glass
I think of these pieces as souls each being pregnant with their own
potential giving birth to new improved versions of themselves

Daniel Burke bullbullbull Ofa feather is a display It is an arrangement of parts and sections
about a topic that I began exploring about four or five years ago At the
time I was often visited by birds as I ate lunch on my studio rooftop
Initially I shared scraps of bread with the birds and this feeding gradually
gave way to intense observation and eventually to photographs drawings
and painted studies of them The observation inspired library work on
birds - research on their types flight patterns habitat etc I eventually
began making and playing with parts - lots of parts paintings of trees
foliage ground covers and bird forms - both resting and flying The
parts were cut out and painted then placed on domino shapes or backed
with clothes-pins so that they could be placed anywhere The parts grew
into bird facades and cutouts of fences poles bushes and gates (places for
them to perch) I eventually had enough material so that I could begin to
organize the elements While arranging the individual parts the overall
artwork demonstrated its needs some of the original parts and sections
were taken away while other new pieces were made and added to the
final assemblage While I continue to explore other bird displays I am
currently working on parts that will go into pieces about vessel forms

From utilitarian object to fine art the role of the ceramic vessel has
undergone many changes throughout history Many things ranging
from the Industrial Revolution to the theories found in Modernist and
Post-Modernist thinking have prompted these changes In a fine art
context the vessel has become an arena of exploration similar to that
of other art media My interests lie in what constitutes the function of
the vessel both socially and in terms of utility
David T Collins Regarding the Functility series the artist potter imposed function of each
piece is that of vehicle A vehicle that sheds its utilitarian premise to
self referentially ponder its own utilitarian role by manifesting itself and
therefore examining itself through the eyes of other than ceramics
structures materials and systems This vessel role playing proposes what
I see as the inherent properties of the ceramic vessel space function and
utility This role playing or hybridization also examines the constructs
of language and identity with regard to art objecthood and craft by
attempting to de-center or test the constructs of our own expectations
of what a teapot should be My intention is for these pieces to serve as
an exercise or examples of what can be

When I wake up in the middle of a dream I remember almost everyshy
thing the color of the room the person walking by the smell of the air
the direction of the light and the way I am moving within it I believe
our memories are similarly constructed It is the blending of time event
objects and environment that constructs a permanent impression on our
conscious and subconscious mind
To me this combination of events and impressions that happen in our
dreams and waking lives is recorded within our memories and combined
to create a notion of place I define place as where we live how we feel
what we believe is important and insignificant it is the core of who we
are and the locations we inhabit
Suzanne Faris I am interested in exploring this multiplicity that exists within the
depths of the places within myself and my perception of who and what
surrounds me The work I am currently doing is intended to engage the
viewer through the construction of the essence of a place event or
circumstance influenced more heavily through concept and construction
by memory and impression than rational organization

G ame Boys is an ongoing portrait series of young men engaged in a
familiar pastime - they are playing video games For the past two years
I have been photographing video game players who come to my studio
sit in the dark and play for hours while I quietly watch and shoot The
studio setting lends a theatrical quality to this commonplace activity
Sometimes I watch the game to see a particularly interesting sequence
but mostly I just watch the game players I seek to explore the popular
culture phenomenon of video games by examining the garners who play
them Because my work is rooted in the tradition of portrait photography
I look beyond the hype surrounding video games and focus on the players
themselves Traditionally the belief has been that a portrait could tell us
a great deal about a subject a window into a persons inner character
could be found through facial expressions Although the expressions on
my subjects may appear to be passive the garners in these photographs
are actually performing fast-paced maneuvers and executing split-second
decisions making these portraits of intense concentration

F abricated from recycled road signs Read Between the Signs (RBTS)
screens the Pennsylvania Department of Transportations (PennDOTs)
storage lot in Meadville PA RBTS depicts the landscape of the French
Creek watershed and local features such as Allegheny Colleges Bentley
Hall Conneaut Lake Park and the Thurston Classic Balloon Race
Celebrating the landscape environment and community of Crawford
County this sculptural relief represents a collective cognitive map of our
community while demonstrating creative reuse
Amara Geffen The project a partnership between Amara Geffen PennDOT and
Allegheny College is a community based collaborative environmental
art installation Since 2002 when the project began annual charettes
involving over 100 collaborators have been held to gather community
input Allegheny College and community interns hired with support from
Allegheny Colleges Center for Economic and Environmental Development
(CEED) then set up shop at the local PennDOT facility spending eleven
weeks in residence each summer Under the direction of artist this team
then works to refine and implement community designs fabricating
between 100-250 feet of the project each summer
To date 730 feet have been produced when completed Read Between the
Signs will reach its full scale of 1200 x 10 feet For additional information

Carl Gustafson In these paintings it is my intention to create a new experience in the
way of looking at life I am searching for ways to visually represent the
extremes humanity is emotionally and physically capable of It is my hope
that the viewer will relate to these images in a similar way while also
drawing their own conclusions and applying them to their own life

The Departure Series presents the 17 largest airports in the United States
Each object is an accurate map of the airports runways taxiways hangars
and terminals hand-cut from paper
Kristofer Harzinski Airports are spaces we all have in common They hold onto us for a
temporary pit stop on a long journey They are curious intermediate
zones only slightly different from one another Each airport vaporously
reflects its location There is slight diversity a distance between here and
home but immediately we recognize most of the elements We know this
place We understand what to do here even though we have never been
here before While there for a few hours or just a few minutes we
momentarily come into contact with thousands of people People who
normally have nothing in common today are briefly joined in a single
location People who we will never see again in our lives are seated next
to us waiting just as we are for the end of the journey
The paper airport is intricate and fragile Please realize your paper airport
will not last forever Yet it may outlast its more permanent relatives

These digital photographs reflect my long-standing interest in material
culture - the things that we produce acquire and arrange for their
usefulness and aesthetic qualities Variously the photographs in this series
depict objects arranged carefully or haphazardly for art students to draw
merchandise offered in stores or store window displays and miscellaneous
collections of items in homes and offices None of these things were
arranged by me or for me but even the more transparent of these
photographs include my subjective response that significantly alters the
apparent intentions of the people who arranged them
Robert Raczka The photographs are meant to have a playfully surreal quality As the
largely - but not entirely - practical intentions of the people who
arranged them intersect with my aesthetic and conceptual intentions
these photographs say something about me as well as something about
the individuals who arranged them and the culture that produced them
though it would be impossible for viewers to accurately disentangle
those forces This does not in my thinking constitute a problem

The artwork that I am making at this time involves finding discarded
and unwanted papers books and paintings I then turn them into new
works of art I draw and paint on top of them add things to them
resurrect them and give them a new life Like a physician I try to help
and heal them and give them new meanings and purposes Pages is part
of a larger body of work called The Clarence Series I purchased Clarences
school work at an auction I dont know him but I know that he saved
all of his homework from grade school through accounting school I am
a collaborator on a grand scale working with many individuals like
Clarence and other unknown artists I experience a great sense of artistic
freedom in making these pieces I do not judge them I try to preserve the
beauty of unintentional marks and everyday jottings I try to enhance
them and contribute to them and make them into artworks that are not
the product of an individual ego including my own

In my latest series I have taken inspiration from early botanical
illustrations creating abstracted orchid corsages These pieces provide a
lasting current day alternative to commercial floral accessories while also
commenting on the idea of preciousness and rarity Other recent works in
this exhibition represent a continuing investigation of how wearable
objects interact with the surface of the body Using a variety of medical
adhesives and wound-treatment devices the brooches are worn directly
on the skin
Rebecca Strzelec All of my work is created in the digital environment using computer-aided
design When using the computer as a medium one is not just given a
new set of materials or tools but an entirely new method of construction
When the creative process is complete within the CAD environment the
objects are realized tangibly through the use of rapid prototyping Rapid
prototyping involves various computer-controlled machines that translate
CAD data into tangible objects The objects are built layer upon layer in
various plastics and photosensitive resins

M y source of inspiration is the topography and colors in the landscape
I find the forms shapes textures and colors around me fascinating And
I am intrigued that I can transform natural fibers into positive shapes and
sculptural forms
I created Langue du Viable to evoke a strong feeling of self in space
I incorporated floor and wall pieces to create an environment The threeshy
dimensional elements encourage you to relate to the size and scale of the
sculptural forms The wall relief invites you to come in and participate
in defining my fantasy
Georgette L Veeder I make paper from shredded cotton rags that I soak and beat in water
with a Hollander-type beater to hydrate the cellulose and separate the
individual fibers The basic color of my paper is due to the original color
of the cotton rags themselves but I also sometimes add additional pigment
to the pulp For this installation I made the original pieces in clay and
then produced rubber molds from the clay originals I then pressed my
wet pulp into the rubber molds Once dried I airbrushed some areas
with acrylic
My use of recycled cotton rags to make my paper is consistent with my
commitment to the environment I use handmade rag paper because it
is ecologically friendly and historically genuine I am always discovering
new potentials in handmade paper and at the same time I am developing
sensitivity to its limitations It is this balance that defines my creative
expression

W hen I took my first art history course I was fascinated by artists who
represented the sublime the awe-inspiring by reducing it to wall-sized
two dimensionality and hanging it in a museum The fact that I was
seeing the work of Friedrich Church Cole and others as photographic
reproductions in a warm darkened room increased the irony During a
visit to Olana Churchs home on the Hudson I learned that the landshy
scape which he saw from each room in his house was carefully planted
to create the most perfectly framed view possible
C=llristille ~elcll There is an amusing human impulse to reduce everything we encounter
to a more manageable scale and behavior Consider the development of
the frontier First over the horizon we saw a virgin wilderness In order to
get there more easily (always a human concern) we dig up stuff from one
place and put it in another and make a road Then we moved some more
stuff trees rocks more dirt and reassembled it into shelters from which
we can see what is left of the wilderness After we have removed as much
of the uncomfortable and dangerous as we can we replant the whole
place with manageable vegetation give it a name like Stonehenge or Deer
Run and stick some cement animals on the lawn to make it look more
like what The wilderness Over all this activity is that last vestige of the
sublime the sky that threatens storm drought flood blistering heat or
razor sharp cold

Mark Wonsidler Recently the poet Ann Lauterbach described poiesis as the making of
examples The poem she said is on the table between us Its invisible
Like faith or love I only know what it is by what you show me by what
you do In my practice the details of material form are always in relation
to a broader context This model is inescapably metonymic a string of
visible parts or actions point toward an unseen idea In Variant I these
actions include choosing painting or not painting and arranging The
form is a field of permutations old new circular oval square touched
untouched large small Each object is a version of the next asserting and
questioning the criteria which draw it into this constellation The second
Variant is a smaller sequence chosen by size and color Limited rather than
permutational its truncated order demands that each object surrender its
identity to pattern In the third piece Puzzle Box for Emily Dickinson form
is an open-ended sequence The components of the piece remain un-fixed
re-arrangeable Each new composition of the parts changes the last and
suggests a future of unnumbered variations The form is composed
between examples

Outside the Centers On the Edge
In the fall of 2002 I approached Dan Talley director of the Sharadin Art Gallery at
Kutztown University of Pennsylvania with a germ of an idea for a collaborative
exhibition As both an artist and a curator who lives just a little too far outside of a
major urban center to be considered for artist grants in that city I began tJ consider
the idea of how ones location particularly when one is positioned outside of a center
can bear on the opportunities one has as an artist Does existing on the hysical
periphery ultimately help or hinder in the building of ones reputation within those
centers Does that location effect ones approach toward artmaking and if so how
Talley developed the title of the exhibition and together we decigtied to organize a
show which would identify and encourage Pennsylvania artists who both live and
work outside of the major metropolitan centers of Philadelp ia and Pittsburgh
Our vision of the show however did not simply end with the notion of focusing on
regional artists As alluded to in the title we also were thinking about how the title
could describe an attitude or mental state tha( an artist may hold while working in these so-called remote places It seems that innovation and experimentation are qualities
recognized more in art made in urban centers while more traditional conventions
seem te dominate the artistic landscape in outlying areas Despite this tendency we
suspected that there are artists who work on the attitudinal edge of these places and
thus we sought to find them This did not mean that we were searching for artists
who seemed to be emulating trends seen within the centers either Instead we wanted
to locate those individuals who work from the edge their own edge independent
state or personal vision in order to produce strong and engaging art
Another consideration was to highlight art institutions postioned outside the centers
that serve their communities with new and innovative programming and invite their
participation Dan Mills from the Samek Art Gallery at Bucknell University Michael
Tomor from the Southern Alleghenies Art Museums and John Vanco from the Erie Art
Museum agreed to collaborate in the organization and curation of the project Each
participating institution will present the exhibition over the course of the next two years
While the general motivation for the exhibition grew out of personal experience our
focus on regional artists and institutions is tied to a growing trend seen within the art
world Over the course of the last decade large-scale reoccurring art exhibitions have
been held in places as economically politically and culturally diverse as Havana
Johannesburg Istanbul and Shanghai These exhibitions afford artists from those
regions and abroad not only visibility in the international art world they also shine a
light on the city itself as a cultural destination They promote diversity and business
while drawing attention to the distinctiveness of local and regional culture While
Outside the CentersOn the Edge does not cast as wide a net as these international
exhibitions it does seek to emphasize regional cultural strengths and artistic resources
So what does outside the centers on the edge look like We selected fifteen artists
who work in a variety of media and with a host of different subject matter as being
representative of the exhibitions theme The three photographers we selected create
work within art historical genres - landscape portraiture and still life - but do so by
representing places people and things seen throughout the state Christine Welch
photographs the crossroads that exist between the natural and the manufactured
environments of the region Her images not only depict the physical terrain they
also reveal the tension and irony that exists at the intersection of these two worlds
Shauna Frischkorn makes images of teenage boys playing video games She
photographs them illuminated by the glow of the television screen as they stare at
the often-violent games they play Although they are engaged in a task that requires
great focus and attention the boys wear blank and ironically passive expressions
Robert Raczkas interests are in the material culture of the everyday world He
photographs found arrangements of things that we produce acquire and display as
a way of revealing something about himself and the creators of these groupings
Other artists working two-dimensionally employ a variety of media and strategies
Carl Gustafsons large oil paintings explore the notion of time and transition within
a bounded space His part beastpart ghost figures appear to struggle to move within
the seemingly calm painted interiors that surround them N Sarangouliss mixed
media drawings and book objects use found paper and book pages as a starting point
for her work She combines discarded materials with drawn and painted elements
6
creating work that seems both old and new and reveals and conceals intensely
personal narratives Kristofer Harzinskis Departure series is made up of hand
cut plans of some of the nations largest airports The project turns the confusing
interplay of those spaces buildings planes and people into clean beautiful and
fragile objects In an era when public spaces such as these have become politically
charged arenas Harzinskis work raises timely questions about personal freedom and
collective responsibility
A wide array of media methods and strategies are applied by the artists working
three-dimensionally as well David Collins transforms the traditional and familiar
vessel form of the ceramic teapot into a sculptural object by playing with scale and
combining multiple materials with clay By doing so he explores material relationships
and also raises questions regarding function and utility Christina Bothwell uses cast
glass as her primary medium Each of her translucent figurative forms features an
inner cavity that she fills with other mysterious forms and objects The inherent nature
of the material allows her to experiment with not only the optical effects of glass
but its metaphorical properties as well As a result her sculptures are psychologically
charged and speak to issues of containment and vulnerability Rebecca Strzelec
creates objects employing current industrial technology Designing on the computer
and using rapid prototyping to shape her work she creates wearable pieces of jewelry
out of plastiC resin that physically attach to and interact with the surface of the body
The overall shapes and forms are derived by echoing the part of the body part on
which the sculptural form sits Bone muscle and ligament are suggested through
these delicate-looking but physically strong objects
Artists also use installation-based practices to build work Mark Wondsidler combines
found objects of various shapes sizes and functions to create mysterious and intriguing
forms Using an additive process he explores relationships between individual objects
and their overall arrangement while also drawing attention to the personal history of
each component Georgette Veeder examines the relationships which exist between
two- and three-dimensional space through the creation of large cast paper installations
that reference the natural environment Real and illustionistic space is explored though
the juxtaposition of floor-bound objects that are placed in front of relief elements that
hang from the wall Suzanne Farris focuses on tangible and intangible aspects of
environment Memory space privacy and aspects of comfort are some of the issues
her sensory-loaded installations address Daniel Burkes large mixed-media wall
installation also activates the senses through intense repetition of bird forms and the
human-made environments they often inhabit
Public art projects are also represented in Outside the CentersOn the Edge Amara
Geffen provides photo documentation of an ongoing collaborative project made with
the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation and regional students Read Between
the Signs uses recycled road signs to form a large-scale sculptural relief that mimics
the surrounding landscape of the Allegheny Mountains The project is not only tied
to the natural environment in which it sits but also to the hearts and minds of its
community members Lisa Austins public art project is more intimate in approach
than Geffens but is no less powerful Documentation of Child Garden for the ICU
shows her design of an environment which can be placed around a childs bed to
soften the clinical setting of the intensive care unit She has created a full scale model
of the deSign a table top version and is currently working on having this piece
mass-produced for use in hospitals
Travel to the periphery involves a commitment of time and energy which means that
these regiOns may often be overlooked due to the relative inconvenience of simply
getting there We also live in an age in which we can know about a place or feel
connected to a person through the push of a button or the click of a mouse In spite
of these factors this exhibition suggests that the journey outside of the centers is
worth the experience and the artists who choose these locations and the work they
produce are full of possibilites not limitations

Lisa Austin For months my daughter was a patient in an intensive care unit
At first my consciousness was limited to my child What began as an
emergency evolved into a bizarre normalcy Despite balloons and stuffed
animals the environment was starkly clinical Without darkness or
quiet there was no night Because of the danger of infection plants
were absent Televisions were plentiful windows were scarce Suffering
was expected In this semi-public arena children recovered or died I
witnessed a medical culture that effectively focused on the childs body
and rendered parents irrelevant
The Child Garden for the fCU brings a fictional nature into the intensive
care unit The original 6 tall wood steel and Formica sculpture proved
too large for hospital use Redesigned at quarter-scale for rotationalshy
molding manufacture the Child Garden for the fCU will attach to existing
hospital tray-tables With seven slightly varied stylized plant forms the
artwork will offer a quiet visual oasis to patients and their families
While researching grants and searching for a suitable non-profit partner
to accept profits from this project Ive collaborated with Alisa Dix and
Jeffrey Brunner to publish a booklet version of the Child Garden for the fCU

In my work I am drawn to the processes of birth death and renewal
What lies below the surface fascinates me and I try to capture the
qualities of the unseen that express the sense of wonder that I feel in
my daily existence
I am attracted to glass because it can do everything that other sculptural
mediums can in addition it offers an inner space and transmits light
My subject matter includes babies animals and children as they embody
the essence of vulnerability that is the underlying theme in my work
Christina L Bothwell Currently I am exploring metamorphosis as a topic and have been
incorporating figures within figures in my pieces Within each glass figure
there is a smaller figure seen through the surface of the glass
I think of these pieces as souls each being pregnant with their own
potential giving birth to new improved versions of themselves

Daniel Burke bullbullbull Ofa feather is a display It is an arrangement of parts and sections
about a topic that I began exploring about four or five years ago At the
time I was often visited by birds as I ate lunch on my studio rooftop
Initially I shared scraps of bread with the birds and this feeding gradually
gave way to intense observation and eventually to photographs drawings
and painted studies of them The observation inspired library work on
birds - research on their types flight patterns habitat etc I eventually
began making and playing with parts - lots of parts paintings of trees
foliage ground covers and bird forms - both resting and flying The
parts were cut out and painted then placed on domino shapes or backed
with clothes-pins so that they could be placed anywhere The parts grew
into bird facades and cutouts of fences poles bushes and gates (places for
them to perch) I eventually had enough material so that I could begin to
organize the elements While arranging the individual parts the overall
artwork demonstrated its needs some of the original parts and sections
were taken away while other new pieces were made and added to the
final assemblage While I continue to explore other bird displays I am
currently working on parts that will go into pieces about vessel forms

From utilitarian object to fine art the role of the ceramic vessel has
undergone many changes throughout history Many things ranging
from the Industrial Revolution to the theories found in Modernist and
Post-Modernist thinking have prompted these changes In a fine art
context the vessel has become an arena of exploration similar to that
of other art media My interests lie in what constitutes the function of
the vessel both socially and in terms of utility
David T Collins Regarding the Functility series the artist potter imposed function of each
piece is that of vehicle A vehicle that sheds its utilitarian premise to
self referentially ponder its own utilitarian role by manifesting itself and
therefore examining itself through the eyes of other than ceramics
structures materials and systems This vessel role playing proposes what
I see as the inherent properties of the ceramic vessel space function and
utility This role playing or hybridization also examines the constructs
of language and identity with regard to art objecthood and craft by
attempting to de-center or test the constructs of our own expectations
of what a teapot should be My intention is for these pieces to serve as
an exercise or examples of what can be

When I wake up in the middle of a dream I remember almost everyshy
thing the color of the room the person walking by the smell of the air
the direction of the light and the way I am moving within it I believe
our memories are similarly constructed It is the blending of time event
objects and environment that constructs a permanent impression on our
conscious and subconscious mind
To me this combination of events and impressions that happen in our
dreams and waking lives is recorded within our memories and combined
to create a notion of place I define place as where we live how we feel
what we believe is important and insignificant it is the core of who we
are and the locations we inhabit
Suzanne Faris I am interested in exploring this multiplicity that exists within the
depths of the places within myself and my perception of who and what
surrounds me The work I am currently doing is intended to engage the
viewer through the construction of the essence of a place event or
circumstance influenced more heavily through concept and construction
by memory and impression than rational organization

G ame Boys is an ongoing portrait series of young men engaged in a
familiar pastime - they are playing video games For the past two years
I have been photographing video game players who come to my studio
sit in the dark and play for hours while I quietly watch and shoot The
studio setting lends a theatrical quality to this commonplace activity
Sometimes I watch the game to see a particularly interesting sequence
but mostly I just watch the game players I seek to explore the popular
culture phenomenon of video games by examining the garners who play
them Because my work is rooted in the tradition of portrait photography
I look beyond the hype surrounding video games and focus on the players
themselves Traditionally the belief has been that a portrait could tell us
a great deal about a subject a window into a persons inner character
could be found through facial expressions Although the expressions on
my subjects may appear to be passive the garners in these photographs
are actually performing fast-paced maneuvers and executing split-second
decisions making these portraits of intense concentration

Amara Geffen The project a partnership between Amara Geffen PennDOT and
Allegheny College is a community based collaborative environmental
art installation Since 2002 when the project began annual charettes
involving over 100 collaborators have been held to gather community
input Allegheny College and community interns hired with support from
Allegheny Colleges Center for Economic and Environmental Development
(CEED) then set up shop at the local PennDOT facility spending eleven
weeks in residence each summer Under the direction of artist this team
then works to refine and implement community designs fabricating
between 100-250 feet of the project each summer
To date 730 feet have been produced when completed Read Between the

Carl Gustafson In these paintings it is my intention to create a new experience in the
way of looking at life I am searching for ways to visually represent the
extremes humanity is emotionally and physically capable of It is my hope
that the viewer will relate to these images in a similar way while also
drawing their own conclusions and applying them to their own life

The Departure Series presents the 17 largest airports in the United States
Each object is an accurate map of the airports runways taxiways hangars
and terminals hand-cut from paper
Kristofer Harzinski Airports are spaces we all have in common They hold onto us for a
temporary pit stop on a long journey They are curious intermediate
zones only slightly different from one another Each airport vaporously
reflects its location There is slight diversity a distance between here and
home but immediately we recognize most of the elements We know this
place We understand what to do here even though we have never been
here before While there for a few hours or just a few minutes we
momentarily come into contact with thousands of people People who
normally have nothing in common today are briefly joined in a single
location People who we will never see again in our lives are seated next
to us waiting just as we are for the end of the journey
The paper airport is intricate and fragile Please realize your paper airport
will not last forever Yet it may outlast its more permanent relatives

These digital photographs reflect my long-standing interest in material
culture - the things that we produce acquire and arrange for their
usefulness and aesthetic qualities Variously the photographs in this series
depict objects arranged carefully or haphazardly for art students to draw
merchandise offered in stores or store window displays and miscellaneous
collections of items in homes and offices None of these things were
arranged by me or for me but even the more transparent of these
photographs include my subjective response that significantly alters the
apparent intentions of the people who arranged them
Robert Raczka The photographs are meant to have a playfully surreal quality As the
largely - but not entirely - practical intentions of the people who
arranged them intersect with my aesthetic and conceptual intentions
these photographs say something about me as well as something about
the individuals who arranged them and the culture that produced them
though it would be impossible for viewers to accurately disentangle
those forces This does not in my thinking constitute a problem

The artwork that I am making at this time involves finding discarded
and unwanted papers books and paintings I then turn them into new
works of art I draw and paint on top of them add things to them
resurrect them and give them a new life Like a physician I try to help
and heal them and give them new meanings and purposes Pages is part
of a larger body of work called The Clarence Series I purchased Clarences
school work at an auction I dont know him but I know that he saved
all of his homework from grade school through accounting school I am
a collaborator on a grand scale working with many individuals like
Clarence and other unknown artists I experience a great sense of artistic
freedom in making these pieces I do not judge them I try to preserve the
beauty of unintentional marks and everyday jottings I try to enhance
them and contribute to them and make them into artworks that are not
the product of an individual ego including my own

In my latest series I have taken inspiration from early botanical
illustrations creating abstracted orchid corsages These pieces provide a
lasting current day alternative to commercial floral accessories while also
commenting on the idea of preciousness and rarity Other recent works in
this exhibition represent a continuing investigation of how wearable
objects interact with the surface of the body Using a variety of medical
adhesives and wound-treatment devices the brooches are worn directly
on the skin
Rebecca Strzelec All of my work is created in the digital environment using computer-aided
design When using the computer as a medium one is not just given a
new set of materials or tools but an entirely new method of construction
When the creative process is complete within the CAD environment the
objects are realized tangibly through the use of rapid prototyping Rapid
prototyping involves various computer-controlled machines that translate
CAD data into tangible objects The objects are built layer upon layer in
various plastics and photosensitive resins

M y source of inspiration is the topography and colors in the landscape
I find the forms shapes textures and colors around me fascinating And
I am intrigued that I can transform natural fibers into positive shapes and
sculptural forms
I created Langue du Viable to evoke a strong feeling of self in space
I incorporated floor and wall pieces to create an environment The threeshy
dimensional elements encourage you to relate to the size and scale of the
sculptural forms The wall relief invites you to come in and participate
in defining my fantasy
Georgette L Veeder I make paper from shredded cotton rags that I soak and beat in water
with a Hollander-type beater to hydrate the cellulose and separate the
individual fibers The basic color of my paper is due to the original color
of the cotton rags themselves but I also sometimes add additional pigment
to the pulp For this installation I made the original pieces in clay and
then produced rubber molds from the clay originals I then pressed my
wet pulp into the rubber molds Once dried I airbrushed some areas
with acrylic
My use of recycled cotton rags to make my paper is consistent with my
commitment to the environment I use handmade rag paper because it
is ecologically friendly and historically genuine I am always discovering
new potentials in handmade paper and at the same time I am developing
sensitivity to its limitations It is this balance that defines my creative
expression

W hen I took my first art history course I was fascinated by artists who
represented the sublime the awe-inspiring by reducing it to wall-sized
two dimensionality and hanging it in a museum The fact that I was
seeing the work of Friedrich Church Cole and others as photographic
reproductions in a warm darkened room increased the irony During a
visit to Olana Churchs home on the Hudson I learned that the landshy
scape which he saw from each room in his house was carefully planted
to create the most perfectly framed view possible
C=llristille ~elcll There is an amusing human impulse to reduce everything we encounter
to a more manageable scale and behavior Consider the development of
the frontier First over the horizon we saw a virgin wilderness In order to
get there more easily (always a human concern) we dig up stuff from one
place and put it in another and make a road Then we moved some more
stuff trees rocks more dirt and reassembled it into shelters from which
we can see what is left of the wilderness After we have removed as much
of the uncomfortable and dangerous as we can we replant the whole
place with manageable vegetation give it a name like Stonehenge or Deer
Run and stick some cement animals on the lawn to make it look more
like what The wilderness Over all this activity is that last vestige of the
sublime the sky that threatens storm drought flood blistering heat or
razor sharp cold

examples The poem she said is on the table between us Its invisible
Like faith or love I only know what it is by what you show me by what
you do In my practice the details of material form are always in relation
to a broader context This model is inescapably metonymic a string of
visible parts or actions point toward an unseen idea In Variant I these
actions include choosing painting or not painting and arranging The
form is a field of permutations old new circular oval square touched
untouched large small Each object is a version of the next asserting and
questioning the criteria which draw it into this constellation The second
Variant is a smaller sequence chosen by size and color Limited rather than
permutational its truncated order demands that each object surrender its
identity to pattern In the third piece Puzzle Box for Emily Dickinson form
is an open-ended sequence The components of the piece remain un-fixed
re-arrangeable Each new composition of the parts changes the last and
suggests a future of unnumbered variations The form is composed
between examples

While the general motivation for the exhibition grew out of personal experience our
focus on regional artists and institutions is tied to a growing trend seen within the art
world Over the course of the last decade large-scale reoccurring art exhibitions have
been held in places as economically politically and culturally diverse as Havana
Johannesburg Istanbul and Shanghai These exhibitions afford artists from those
regions and abroad not only visibility in the international art world they also shine a
light on the city itself as a cultural destination They promote diversity and business
while drawing attention to the distinctiveness of local and regional culture While
Outside the CentersOn the Edge does not cast as wide a net as these international
exhibitions it does seek to emphasize regional cultural strengths and artistic resources
So what does outside the centers on the edge look like We selected fifteen artists
who work in a variety of media and with a host of different subject matter as being
representative of the exhibitions theme The three photographers we selected create
work within art historical genres - landscape portraiture and still life - but do so by
representing places people and things seen throughout the state Christine Welch
photographs the crossroads that exist between the natural and the manufactured
environments of the region Her images not only depict the physical terrain they
also reveal the tension and irony that exists at the intersection of these two worlds
Shauna Frischkorn makes images of teenage boys playing video games She
photographs them illuminated by the glow of the television screen as they stare at
the often-violent games they play Although they are engaged in a task that requires
great focus and attention the boys wear blank and ironically passive expressions
Robert Raczkas interests are in the material culture of the everyday world He
photographs found arrangements of things that we produce acquire and display as
a way of revealing something about himself and the creators of these groupings
Other artists working two-dimensionally employ a variety of media and strategies
Carl Gustafsons large oil paintings explore the notion of time and transition within
a bounded space His part beastpart ghost figures appear to struggle to move within
the seemingly calm painted interiors that surround them N Sarangouliss mixed
media drawings and book objects use found paper and book pages as a starting point
for her work She combines discarded materials with drawn and painted elements

creating work that seems both old and new and reveals and conceals intensely
personal narratives Kristofer Harzinskis Departure series is made up of hand
cut plans of some of the nations largest airports The project turns the confusing
interplay of those spaces buildings planes and people into clean beautiful and
fragile objects In an era when public spaces such as these have become politically
charged arenas Harzinskis work raises timely questions about personal freedom and
collective responsibility
A wide array of media methods and strategies are applied by the artists working
three-dimensionally as well David Collins transforms the traditional and familiar
vessel form of the ceramic teapot into a sculptural object by playing with scale and
combining multiple materials with clay By doing so he explores material relationships
and also raises questions regarding function and utility Christina Bothwell uses cast
glass as her primary medium Each of her translucent figurative forms features an
inner cavity that she fills with other mysterious forms and objects The inherent nature
of the material allows her to experiment with not only the optical effects of glass
but its metaphorical properties as well As a result her sculptures are psychologically
charged and speak to issues of containment and vulnerability Rebecca Strzelec
creates objects employing current industrial technology Designing on the computer
and using rapid prototyping to shape her work she creates wearable pieces of jewelry
out of plastiC resin that physically attach to and interact with the surface of the body
The overall shapes and forms are derived by echoing the part of the body part on
which the sculptural form sits Bone muscle and ligament are suggested through
these delicate-looking but physically strong objects
Artists also use installation-based practices to build work Mark Wondsidler combines
found objects of various shapes sizes and functions to create mysterious and intriguing
forms Using an additive process he explores relationships between individual objects
and their overall arrangement while also drawing attention to the personal history of
each component Georgette Veeder examines the relationships which exist between
two- and three-dimensional space through the creation of large cast paper installations
that reference the natural environment Real and illustionistic space is explored though
the juxtaposition of floor-bound objects that are placed in front of relief elements that
hang from the wall Suzanne Farris focuses on tangible and intangible aspects of
environment Memory space privacy and aspects of comfort are some of the issues
her sensory-loaded installations address Daniel Burkes large mixed-media wall
installation also activates the senses through intense repetition of bird forms and the
human-made environments they often inhabit
Public art projects are also represented in Outside the CentersOn the Edge Amara
Geffen provides photo documentation of an ongoing collaborative project made with
the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation and regional students Read Between
the Signs uses recycled road signs to form a large-scale sculptural relief that mimics
the surrounding landscape of the Allegheny Mountains The project is not only tied
to the natural environment in which it sits but also to the hearts and minds of its
community members Lisa Austins public art project is more intimate in approach
than Geffens but is no less powerful Documentation of Child Garden for the ICU
shows her design of an environment which can be placed around a childs bed to
soften the clinical setting of the intensive care unit She has created a full scale model
of the deSign a table top version and is currently working on having this piece
mass-produced for use in hospitals
Travel to the periphery involves a commitment of time and energy which means that
these regiOns may often be overlooked due to the relative inconvenience of simply
getting there We also live in an age in which we can know about a place or feel
connected to a person through the push of a button or the click of a mouse In spite
of these factors this exhibition suggests that the journey outside of the centers is
worth the experience and the artists who choose these locations and the work they
produce are full of possibilites not limitations

Lisa Austin For months my daughter was a patient in an intensive care unit
At first my consciousness was limited to my child What began as an
emergency evolved into a bizarre normalcy Despite balloons and stuffed
animals the environment was starkly clinical Without darkness or
quiet there was no night Because of the danger of infection plants
were absent Televisions were plentiful windows were scarce Suffering
was expected In this semi-public arena children recovered or died I
witnessed a medical culture that effectively focused on the childs body
and rendered parents irrelevant
The Child Garden for the fCU brings a fictional nature into the intensive
care unit The original 6 tall wood steel and Formica sculpture proved
too large for hospital use Redesigned at quarter-scale for rotationalshy
molding manufacture the Child Garden for the fCU will attach to existing
hospital tray-tables With seven slightly varied stylized plant forms the
artwork will offer a quiet visual oasis to patients and their families
While researching grants and searching for a suitable non-profit partner
to accept profits from this project Ive collaborated with Alisa Dix and
Jeffrey Brunner to publish a booklet version of the Child Garden for the fCU

In my work I am drawn to the processes of birth death and renewal
What lies below the surface fascinates me and I try to capture the
qualities of the unseen that express the sense of wonder that I feel in
my daily existence
I am attracted to glass because it can do everything that other sculptural
mediums can in addition it offers an inner space and transmits light
My subject matter includes babies animals and children as they embody
the essence of vulnerability that is the underlying theme in my work
Christina L Bothwell Currently I am exploring metamorphosis as a topic and have been
incorporating figures within figures in my pieces Within each glass figure
there is a smaller figure seen through the surface of the glass
I think of these pieces as souls each being pregnant with their own
potential giving birth to new improved versions of themselves

Daniel Burke bullbullbull Ofa feather is a display It is an arrangement of parts and sections
about a topic that I began exploring about four or five years ago At the
time I was often visited by birds as I ate lunch on my studio rooftop
Initially I shared scraps of bread with the birds and this feeding gradually
gave way to intense observation and eventually to photographs drawings
and painted studies of them The observation inspired library work on
birds - research on their types flight patterns habitat etc I eventually
began making and playing with parts - lots of parts paintings of trees
foliage ground covers and bird forms - both resting and flying The
parts were cut out and painted then placed on domino shapes or backed
with clothes-pins so that they could be placed anywhere The parts grew
into bird facades and cutouts of fences poles bushes and gates (places for
them to perch) I eventually had enough material so that I could begin to
organize the elements While arranging the individual parts the overall
artwork demonstrated its needs some of the original parts and sections
were taken away while other new pieces were made and added to the
final assemblage While I continue to explore other bird displays I am
currently working on parts that will go into pieces about vessel forms

From utilitarian object to fine art the role of the ceramic vessel has
undergone many changes throughout history Many things ranging
from the Industrial Revolution to the theories found in Modernist and
Post-Modernist thinking have prompted these changes In a fine art
context the vessel has become an arena of exploration similar to that
of other art media My interests lie in what constitutes the function of
the vessel both socially and in terms of utility
David T Collins Regarding the Functility series the artist potter imposed function of each
piece is that of vehicle A vehicle that sheds its utilitarian premise to
self referentially ponder its own utilitarian role by manifesting itself and
therefore examining itself through the eyes of other than ceramics
structures materials and systems This vessel role playing proposes what
I see as the inherent properties of the ceramic vessel space function and
utility This role playing or hybridization also examines the constructs
of language and identity with regard to art objecthood and craft by
attempting to de-center or test the constructs of our own expectations
of what a teapot should be My intention is for these pieces to serve as
an exercise or examples of what can be

When I wake up in the middle of a dream I remember almost everyshy
thing the color of the room the person walking by the smell of the air
the direction of the light and the way I am moving within it I believe
our memories are similarly constructed It is the blending of time event
objects and environment that constructs a permanent impression on our
conscious and subconscious mind
To me this combination of events and impressions that happen in our
dreams and waking lives is recorded within our memories and combined
to create a notion of place I define place as where we live how we feel
what we believe is important and insignificant it is the core of who we
are and the locations we inhabit
Suzanne Faris I am interested in exploring this multiplicity that exists within the
depths of the places within myself and my perception of who and what
surrounds me The work I am currently doing is intended to engage the
viewer through the construction of the essence of a place event or
circumstance influenced more heavily through concept and construction
by memory and impression than rational organization

G ame Boys is an ongoing portrait series of young men engaged in a
familiar pastime - they are playing video games For the past two years
I have been photographing video game players who come to my studio
sit in the dark and play for hours while I quietly watch and shoot The
studio setting lends a theatrical quality to this commonplace activity
Sometimes I watch the game to see a particularly interesting sequence
but mostly I just watch the game players I seek to explore the popular
culture phenomenon of video games by examining the garners who play
them Because my work is rooted in the tradition of portrait photography
I look beyond the hype surrounding video games and focus on the players
themselves Traditionally the belief has been that a portrait could tell us
a great deal about a subject a window into a persons inner character
could be found through facial expressions Although the expressions on
my subjects may appear to be passive the garners in these photographs
are actually performing fast-paced maneuvers and executing split-second
decisions making these portraits of intense concentration

involving over 100 collaborators have been held to gather community
input Allegheny College and community interns hired with support from
Allegheny Colleges Center for Economic and Environmental Development
(CEED) then set up shop at the local PennDOT facility spending eleven
weeks in residence each summer Under the direction of artist this team
then works to refine and implement community designs fabricating

Carl Gustafson In these paintings it is my intention to create a new experience in the
way of looking at life I am searching for ways to visually represent the
extremes humanity is emotionally and physically capable of It is my hope
that the viewer will relate to these images in a similar way while also
drawing their own conclusions and applying them to their own life

The Departure Series presents the 17 largest airports in the United States
Each object is an accurate map of the airports runways taxiways hangars
and terminals hand-cut from paper
Kristofer Harzinski Airports are spaces we all have in common They hold onto us for a
temporary pit stop on a long journey They are curious intermediate
zones only slightly different from one another Each airport vaporously
reflects its location There is slight diversity a distance between here and
home but immediately we recognize most of the elements We know this
place We understand what to do here even though we have never been
here before While there for a few hours or just a few minutes we
momentarily come into contact with thousands of people People who
normally have nothing in common today are briefly joined in a single
location People who we will never see again in our lives are seated next
to us waiting just as we are for the end of the journey
The paper airport is intricate and fragile Please realize your paper airport
will not last forever Yet it may outlast its more permanent relatives

These digital photographs reflect my long-standing interest in material
culture - the things that we produce acquire and arrange for their
usefulness and aesthetic qualities Variously the photographs in this series
depict objects arranged carefully or haphazardly for art students to draw
merchandise offered in stores or store window displays and miscellaneous
collections of items in homes and offices None of these things were
arranged by me or for me but even the more transparent of these
photographs include my subjective response that significantly alters the
apparent intentions of the people who arranged them
Robert Raczka The photographs are meant to have a playfully surreal quality As the
largely - but not entirely - practical intentions of the people who
arranged them intersect with my aesthetic and conceptual intentions
these photographs say something about me as well as something about
the individuals who arranged them and the culture that produced them
though it would be impossible for viewers to accurately disentangle
those forces This does not in my thinking constitute a problem

The artwork that I am making at this time involves finding discarded
and unwanted papers books and paintings I then turn them into new
works of art I draw and paint on top of them add things to them
resurrect them and give them a new life Like a physician I try to help
and heal them and give them new meanings and purposes Pages is part
of a larger body of work called The Clarence Series I purchased Clarences
school work at an auction I dont know him but I know that he saved
all of his homework from grade school through accounting school I am
a collaborator on a grand scale working with many individuals like
Clarence and other unknown artists I experience a great sense of artistic
freedom in making these pieces I do not judge them I try to preserve the
beauty of unintentional marks and everyday jottings I try to enhance
them and contribute to them and make them into artworks that are not
the product of an individual ego including my own

In my latest series I have taken inspiration from early botanical
illustrations creating abstracted orchid corsages These pieces provide a
lasting current day alternative to commercial floral accessories while also
commenting on the idea of preciousness and rarity Other recent works in
this exhibition represent a continuing investigation of how wearable
objects interact with the surface of the body Using a variety of medical
adhesives and wound-treatment devices the brooches are worn directly
on the skin
Rebecca Strzelec All of my work is created in the digital environment using computer-aided
design When using the computer as a medium one is not just given a
new set of materials or tools but an entirely new method of construction
When the creative process is complete within the CAD environment the
objects are realized tangibly through the use of rapid prototyping Rapid
prototyping involves various computer-controlled machines that translate
CAD data into tangible objects The objects are built layer upon layer in
various plastics and photosensitive resins

M y source of inspiration is the topography and colors in the landscape
I find the forms shapes textures and colors around me fascinating And
I am intrigued that I can transform natural fibers into positive shapes and
sculptural forms
I created Langue du Viable to evoke a strong feeling of self in space
I incorporated floor and wall pieces to create an environment The threeshy
dimensional elements encourage you to relate to the size and scale of the
sculptural forms The wall relief invites you to come in and participate
in defining my fantasy
Georgette L Veeder I make paper from shredded cotton rags that I soak and beat in water
with a Hollander-type beater to hydrate the cellulose and separate the
individual fibers The basic color of my paper is due to the original color
of the cotton rags themselves but I also sometimes add additional pigment
to the pulp For this installation I made the original pieces in clay and
then produced rubber molds from the clay originals I then pressed my
wet pulp into the rubber molds Once dried I airbrushed some areas
with acrylic
My use of recycled cotton rags to make my paper is consistent with my
commitment to the environment I use handmade rag paper because it
is ecologically friendly and historically genuine I am always discovering
new potentials in handmade paper and at the same time I am developing
sensitivity to its limitations It is this balance that defines my creative
expression

W hen I took my first art history course I was fascinated by artists who
represented the sublime the awe-inspiring by reducing it to wall-sized
two dimensionality and hanging it in a museum The fact that I was
seeing the work of Friedrich Church Cole and others as photographic
reproductions in a warm darkened room increased the irony During a
visit to Olana Churchs home on the Hudson I learned that the landshy
scape which he saw from each room in his house was carefully planted
to create the most perfectly framed view possible
C=llristille ~elcll There is an amusing human impulse to reduce everything we encounter
to a more manageable scale and behavior Consider the development of
the frontier First over the horizon we saw a virgin wilderness In order to
get there more easily (always a human concern) we dig up stuff from one
place and put it in another and make a road Then we moved some more
stuff trees rocks more dirt and reassembled it into shelters from which
we can see what is left of the wilderness After we have removed as much
of the uncomfortable and dangerous as we can we replant the whole
place with manageable vegetation give it a name like Stonehenge or Deer
Run and stick some cement animals on the lawn to make it look more
like what The wilderness Over all this activity is that last vestige of the
sublime the sky that threatens storm drought flood blistering heat or
razor sharp cold

Mark Wonsidler Recently the poet Ann Lauterbach described poiesis as the making of
examples The poem she said is on the table between us Its invisible
Like faith or love I only know what it is by what you show me by what
you do In my practice the details of material form are always in relation
to a broader context This model is inescapably metonymic a string of
visible parts or actions point toward an unseen idea In Variant I these
actions include choosing painting or not painting and arranging The
form is a field of permutations old new circular oval square touched
untouched large small Each object is a version of the next asserting and
questioning the criteria which draw it into this constellation The second
Variant is a smaller sequence chosen by size and color Limited rather than
permutational its truncated order demands that each object surrender its
identity to pattern In the third piece Puzzle Box for Emily Dickinson form
is an open-ended sequence The components of the piece remain un-fixed
re-arrangeable Each new composition of the parts changes the last and
suggests a future of unnumbered variations The form is composed
between examples

creating work that seems both old and new and reveals and conceals intensely
personal narratives Kristofer Harzinskis Departure series is made up of hand
cut plans of some of the nations largest airports The project turns the confusing
interplay of those spaces buildings planes and people into clean beautiful and
fragile objects In an era when public spaces such as these have become politically
charged arenas Harzinskis work raises timely questions about personal freedom and
collective responsibility
A wide array of media methods and strategies are applied by the artists working
three-dimensionally as well David Collins transforms the traditional and familiar
vessel form of the ceramic teapot into a sculptural object by playing with scale and
combining multiple materials with clay By doing so he explores material relationships
and also raises questions regarding function and utility Christina Bothwell uses cast
glass as her primary medium Each of her translucent figurative forms features an
inner cavity that she fills with other mysterious forms and objects The inherent nature
of the material allows her to experiment with not only the optical effects of glass
but its metaphorical properties as well As a result her sculptures are psychologically
charged and speak to issues of containment and vulnerability Rebecca Strzelec
creates objects employing current industrial technology Designing on the computer
and using rapid prototyping to shape her work she creates wearable pieces of jewelry
out of plastiC resin that physically attach to and interact with the surface of the body
The overall shapes and forms are derived by echoing the part of the body part on
which the sculptural form sits Bone muscle and ligament are suggested through
these delicate-looking but physically strong objects
Artists also use installation-based practices to build work Mark Wondsidler combines
found objects of various shapes sizes and functions to create mysterious and intriguing
forms Using an additive process he explores relationships between individual objects
and their overall arrangement while also drawing attention to the personal history of
each component Georgette Veeder examines the relationships which exist between
two- and three-dimensional space through the creation of large cast paper installations
that reference the natural environment Real and illustionistic space is explored though
the juxtaposition of floor-bound objects that are placed in front of relief elements that
hang from the wall Suzanne Farris focuses on tangible and intangible aspects of
environment Memory space privacy and aspects of comfort are some of the issues
her sensory-loaded installations address Daniel Burkes large mixed-media wall
installation also activates the senses through intense repetition of bird forms and the
human-made environments they often inhabit
Public art projects are also represented in Outside the CentersOn the Edge Amara
Geffen provides photo documentation of an ongoing collaborative project made with
the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation and regional students Read Between
the Signs uses recycled road signs to form a large-scale sculptural relief that mimics
the surrounding landscape of the Allegheny Mountains The project is not only tied
to the natural environment in which it sits but also to the hearts and minds of its
community members Lisa Austins public art project is more intimate in approach
than Geffens but is no less powerful Documentation of Child Garden for the ICU
shows her design of an environment which can be placed around a childs bed to
soften the clinical setting of the intensive care unit She has created a full scale model
of the deSign a table top version and is currently working on having this piece
mass-produced for use in hospitals
Travel to the periphery involves a commitment of time and energy which means that
these regiOns may often be overlooked due to the relative inconvenience of simply
getting there We also live in an age in which we can know about a place or feel
connected to a person through the push of a button or the click of a mouse In spite
of these factors this exhibition suggests that the journey outside of the centers is
worth the experience and the artists who choose these locations and the work they
produce are full of possibilites not limitations

Lisa Austin For months my daughter was a patient in an intensive care unit
At first my consciousness was limited to my child What began as an
emergency evolved into a bizarre normalcy Despite balloons and stuffed
animals the environment was starkly clinical Without darkness or
quiet there was no night Because of the danger of infection plants
were absent Televisions were plentiful windows were scarce Suffering
was expected In this semi-public arena children recovered or died I
witnessed a medical culture that effectively focused on the childs body
and rendered parents irrelevant
The Child Garden for the fCU brings a fictional nature into the intensive
care unit The original 6 tall wood steel and Formica sculpture proved
too large for hospital use Redesigned at quarter-scale for rotationalshy
molding manufacture the Child Garden for the fCU will attach to existing
hospital tray-tables With seven slightly varied stylized plant forms the
artwork will offer a quiet visual oasis to patients and their families
While researching grants and searching for a suitable non-profit partner
to accept profits from this project Ive collaborated with Alisa Dix and
Jeffrey Brunner to publish a booklet version of the Child Garden for the fCU

In my work I am drawn to the processes of birth death and renewal
What lies below the surface fascinates me and I try to capture the
qualities of the unseen that express the sense of wonder that I feel in
my daily existence
I am attracted to glass because it can do everything that other sculptural
mediums can in addition it offers an inner space and transmits light
My subject matter includes babies animals and children as they embody
the essence of vulnerability that is the underlying theme in my work
Christina L Bothwell Currently I am exploring metamorphosis as a topic and have been
incorporating figures within figures in my pieces Within each glass figure
there is a smaller figure seen through the surface of the glass
I think of these pieces as souls each being pregnant with their own
potential giving birth to new improved versions of themselves

Daniel Burke bullbullbull Ofa feather is a display It is an arrangement of parts and sections
about a topic that I began exploring about four or five years ago At the
time I was often visited by birds as I ate lunch on my studio rooftop
Initially I shared scraps of bread with the birds and this feeding gradually
gave way to intense observation and eventually to photographs drawings
and painted studies of them The observation inspired library work on
birds - research on their types flight patterns habitat etc I eventually
began making and playing with parts - lots of parts paintings of trees
foliage ground covers and bird forms - both resting and flying The
parts were cut out and painted then placed on domino shapes or backed
with clothes-pins so that they could be placed anywhere The parts grew
into bird facades and cutouts of fences poles bushes and gates (places for
them to perch) I eventually had enough material so that I could begin to
organize the elements While arranging the individual parts the overall
artwork demonstrated its needs some of the original parts and sections
were taken away while other new pieces were made and added to the
final assemblage While I continue to explore other bird displays I am
currently working on parts that will go into pieces about vessel forms

From utilitarian object to fine art the role of the ceramic vessel has
undergone many changes throughout history Many things ranging
from the Industrial Revolution to the theories found in Modernist and
Post-Modernist thinking have prompted these changes In a fine art
context the vessel has become an arena of exploration similar to that
of other art media My interests lie in what constitutes the function of
the vessel both socially and in terms of utility
David T Collins Regarding the Functility series the artist potter imposed function of each
piece is that of vehicle A vehicle that sheds its utilitarian premise to
self referentially ponder its own utilitarian role by manifesting itself and
therefore examining itself through the eyes of other than ceramics
structures materials and systems This vessel role playing proposes what
I see as the inherent properties of the ceramic vessel space function and
utility This role playing or hybridization also examines the constructs
of language and identity with regard to art objecthood and craft by
attempting to de-center or test the constructs of our own expectations
of what a teapot should be My intention is for these pieces to serve as
an exercise or examples of what can be

When I wake up in the middle of a dream I remember almost everyshy
thing the color of the room the person walking by the smell of the air
the direction of the light and the way I am moving within it I believe
our memories are similarly constructed It is the blending of time event
objects and environment that constructs a permanent impression on our
conscious and subconscious mind
To me this combination of events and impressions that happen in our
dreams and waking lives is recorded within our memories and combined
to create a notion of place I define place as where we live how we feel
what we believe is important and insignificant it is the core of who we
are and the locations we inhabit
Suzanne Faris I am interested in exploring this multiplicity that exists within the
depths of the places within myself and my perception of who and what
surrounds me The work I am currently doing is intended to engage the
viewer through the construction of the essence of a place event or
circumstance influenced more heavily through concept and construction
by memory and impression than rational organization

G ame Boys is an ongoing portrait series of young men engaged in a
familiar pastime - they are playing video games For the past two years
I have been photographing video game players who come to my studio
sit in the dark and play for hours while I quietly watch and shoot The
studio setting lends a theatrical quality to this commonplace activity
Sometimes I watch the game to see a particularly interesting sequence
but mostly I just watch the game players I seek to explore the popular
culture phenomenon of video games by examining the garners who play
them Because my work is rooted in the tradition of portrait photography
I look beyond the hype surrounding video games and focus on the players
themselves Traditionally the belief has been that a portrait could tell us
a great deal about a subject a window into a persons inner character
could be found through facial expressions Although the expressions on
my subjects may appear to be passive the garners in these photographs
are actually performing fast-paced maneuvers and executing split-second
decisions making these portraits of intense concentration

Amara Geffen The project a partnership between Amara Geffen PennDOT and
Allegheny College is a community based collaborative environmental
art installation Since 2002 when the project began annual charettes
involving over 100 collaborators have been held to gather community
input Allegheny College and community interns hired with support from
Allegheny Colleges Center for Economic and Environmental Development
(CEED) then set up shop at the local PennDOT facility spending eleven
weeks in residence each summer Under the direction of artist this team
then works to refine and implement community designs fabricating
between 100-250 feet of the project each summer
To date 730 feet have been produced when completed Read Between the

Carl Gustafson In these paintings it is my intention to create a new experience in the
way of looking at life I am searching for ways to visually represent the
extremes humanity is emotionally and physically capable of It is my hope
that the viewer will relate to these images in a similar way while also
drawing their own conclusions and applying them to their own life

The Departure Series presents the 17 largest airports in the United States
Each object is an accurate map of the airports runways taxiways hangars
and terminals hand-cut from paper
Kristofer Harzinski Airports are spaces we all have in common They hold onto us for a
temporary pit stop on a long journey They are curious intermediate
zones only slightly different from one another Each airport vaporously
reflects its location There is slight diversity a distance between here and
home but immediately we recognize most of the elements We know this
place We understand what to do here even though we have never been
here before While there for a few hours or just a few minutes we
momentarily come into contact with thousands of people People who
normally have nothing in common today are briefly joined in a single
location People who we will never see again in our lives are seated next
to us waiting just as we are for the end of the journey
The paper airport is intricate and fragile Please realize your paper airport
will not last forever Yet it may outlast its more permanent relatives

These digital photographs reflect my long-standing interest in material
culture - the things that we produce acquire and arrange for their
usefulness and aesthetic qualities Variously the photographs in this series
depict objects arranged carefully or haphazardly for art students to draw
merchandise offered in stores or store window displays and miscellaneous
collections of items in homes and offices None of these things were
arranged by me or for me but even the more transparent of these
photographs include my subjective response that significantly alters the
apparent intentions of the people who arranged them
Robert Raczka The photographs are meant to have a playfully surreal quality As the
largely - but not entirely - practical intentions of the people who
arranged them intersect with my aesthetic and conceptual intentions
these photographs say something about me as well as something about
the individuals who arranged them and the culture that produced them
though it would be impossible for viewers to accurately disentangle
those forces This does not in my thinking constitute a problem

The artwork that I am making at this time involves finding discarded
and unwanted papers books and paintings I then turn them into new
works of art I draw and paint on top of them add things to them
resurrect them and give them a new life Like a physician I try to help
and heal them and give them new meanings and purposes Pages is part
of a larger body of work called The Clarence Series I purchased Clarences
school work at an auction I dont know him but I know that he saved
all of his homework from grade school through accounting school I am
a collaborator on a grand scale working with many individuals like
Clarence and other unknown artists I experience a great sense of artistic
freedom in making these pieces I do not judge them I try to preserve the
beauty of unintentional marks and everyday jottings I try to enhance
them and contribute to them and make them into artworks that are not
the product of an individual ego including my own

In my latest series I have taken inspiration from early botanical
illustrations creating abstracted orchid corsages These pieces provide a
lasting current day alternative to commercial floral accessories while also
commenting on the idea of preciousness and rarity Other recent works in
this exhibition represent a continuing investigation of how wearable
objects interact with the surface of the body Using a variety of medical
adhesives and wound-treatment devices the brooches are worn directly
on the skin
Rebecca Strzelec All of my work is created in the digital environment using computer-aided
design When using the computer as a medium one is not just given a
new set of materials or tools but an entirely new method of construction
When the creative process is complete within the CAD environment the
objects are realized tangibly through the use of rapid prototyping Rapid
prototyping involves various computer-controlled machines that translate
CAD data into tangible objects The objects are built layer upon layer in
various plastics and photosensitive resins

M y source of inspiration is the topography and colors in the landscape
I find the forms shapes textures and colors around me fascinating And
I am intrigued that I can transform natural fibers into positive shapes and
sculptural forms
I created Langue du Viable to evoke a strong feeling of self in space
I incorporated floor and wall pieces to create an environment The threeshy
dimensional elements encourage you to relate to the size and scale of the
sculptural forms The wall relief invites you to come in and participate
in defining my fantasy
Georgette L Veeder I make paper from shredded cotton rags that I soak and beat in water
with a Hollander-type beater to hydrate the cellulose and separate the
individual fibers The basic color of my paper is due to the original color
of the cotton rags themselves but I also sometimes add additional pigment
to the pulp For this installation I made the original pieces in clay and
then produced rubber molds from the clay originals I then pressed my
wet pulp into the rubber molds Once dried I airbrushed some areas
with acrylic
My use of recycled cotton rags to make my paper is consistent with my
commitment to the environment I use handmade rag paper because it
is ecologically friendly and historically genuine I am always discovering
new potentials in handmade paper and at the same time I am developing
sensitivity to its limitations It is this balance that defines my creative
expression

W hen I took my first art history course I was fascinated by artists who
represented the sublime the awe-inspiring by reducing it to wall-sized
two dimensionality and hanging it in a museum The fact that I was
seeing the work of Friedrich Church Cole and others as photographic
reproductions in a warm darkened room increased the irony During a
visit to Olana Churchs home on the Hudson I learned that the landshy
scape which he saw from each room in his house was carefully planted
to create the most perfectly framed view possible
C=llristille ~elcll There is an amusing human impulse to reduce everything we encounter
to a more manageable scale and behavior Consider the development of
the frontier First over the horizon we saw a virgin wilderness In order to
get there more easily (always a human concern) we dig up stuff from one
place and put it in another and make a road Then we moved some more
stuff trees rocks more dirt and reassembled it into shelters from which
we can see what is left of the wilderness After we have removed as much
of the uncomfortable and dangerous as we can we replant the whole
place with manageable vegetation give it a name like Stonehenge or Deer
Run and stick some cement animals on the lawn to make it look more
like what The wilderness Over all this activity is that last vestige of the
sublime the sky that threatens storm drought flood blistering heat or
razor sharp cold

Mark Wonsidler Recently the poet Ann Lauterbach described poiesis as the making of
examples The poem she said is on the table between us Its invisible
Like faith or love I only know what it is by what you show me by what
you do In my practice the details of material form are always in relation
to a broader context This model is inescapably metonymic a string of
visible parts or actions point toward an unseen idea In Variant I these
actions include choosing painting or not painting and arranging The
form is a field of permutations old new circular oval square touched
untouched large small Each object is a version of the next asserting and
questioning the criteria which draw it into this constellation The second
Variant is a smaller sequence chosen by size and color Limited rather than
permutational its truncated order demands that each object surrender its
identity to pattern In the third piece Puzzle Box for Emily Dickinson form
is an open-ended sequence The components of the piece remain un-fixed
re-arrangeable Each new composition of the parts changes the last and
suggests a future of unnumbered variations The form is composed
between examples

hang from the wall Suzanne Farris focuses on tangible and intangible aspects of
environment Memory space privacy and aspects of comfort are some of the issues
her sensory-loaded installations address Daniel Burkes large mixed-media wall
installation also activates the senses through intense repetition of bird forms and the
human-made environments they often inhabit

Geffen provides photo documentation of an ongoing collaborative project made with
the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation and regional students Read Between
the Signs uses recycled road signs to form a large-scale sculptural relief that mimics
the surrounding landscape of the Allegheny Mountains The project is not only tied
to the natural environment in which it sits but also to the hearts and minds of its
community members Lisa Austins public art project is more intimate in approach
than Geffens but is no less powerful Documentation of Child Garden for the ICU
shows her design of an environment which can be placed around a childs bed to
soften the clinical setting of the intensive care unit She has created a full scale model
of the deSign a table top version and is currently working on having this piece
mass-produced for use in hospitals
Travel to the periphery involves a commitment of time and energy which means that
these regiOns may often be overlooked due to the relative inconvenience of simply
getting there We also live in an age in which we can know about a place or feel
connected to a person through the push of a button or the click of a mouse In spite
of these factors this exhibition suggests that the journey outside of the centers is
worth the experience and the artists who choose these locations and the work they
produce are full of possibilites not limitations

Lisa Austin For months my daughter was a patient in an intensive care unit
At first my consciousness was limited to my child What began as an
emergency evolved into a bizarre normalcy Despite balloons and stuffed
animals the environment was starkly clinical Without darkness or
quiet there was no night Because of the danger of infection plants
were absent Televisions were plentiful windows were scarce Suffering
was expected In this semi-public arena children recovered or died I
witnessed a medical culture that effectively focused on the childs body
and rendered parents irrelevant
The Child Garden for the fCU brings a fictional nature into the intensive
care unit The original 6 tall wood steel and Formica sculpture proved
too large for hospital use Redesigned at quarter-scale for rotationalshy
molding manufacture the Child Garden for the fCU will attach to existing
hospital tray-tables With seven slightly varied stylized plant forms the
artwork will offer a quiet visual oasis to patients and their families
While researching grants and searching for a suitable non-profit partner
to accept profits from this project Ive collaborated with Alisa Dix and
Jeffrey Brunner to publish a booklet version of the Child Garden for the fCU

In my work I am drawn to the processes of birth death and renewal
What lies below the surface fascinates me and I try to capture the
qualities of the unseen that express the sense of wonder that I feel in
my daily existence
I am attracted to glass because it can do everything that other sculptural
mediums can in addition it offers an inner space and transmits light
My subject matter includes babies animals and children as they embody
the essence of vulnerability that is the underlying theme in my work
Christina L Bothwell Currently I am exploring metamorphosis as a topic and have been
incorporating figures within figures in my pieces Within each glass figure
there is a smaller figure seen through the surface of the glass
I think of these pieces as souls each being pregnant with their own
potential giving birth to new improved versions of themselves

Daniel Burke bullbullbull Ofa feather is a display It is an arrangement of parts and sections
about a topic that I began exploring about four or five years ago At the
time I was often visited by birds as I ate lunch on my studio rooftop
Initially I shared scraps of bread with the birds and this feeding gradually
gave way to intense observation and eventually to photographs drawings
and painted studies of them The observation inspired library work on
birds - research on their types flight patterns habitat etc I eventually
began making and playing with parts - lots of parts paintings of trees
foliage ground covers and bird forms - both resting and flying The
parts were cut out and painted then placed on domino shapes or backed
with clothes-pins so that they could be placed anywhere The parts grew
into bird facades and cutouts of fences poles bushes and gates (places for
them to perch) I eventually had enough material so that I could begin to
organize the elements While arranging the individual parts the overall
artwork demonstrated its needs some of the original parts and sections
were taken away while other new pieces were made and added to the
final assemblage While I continue to explore other bird displays I am
currently working on parts that will go into pieces about vessel forms
musical instruments funerary flowers and gated gardens

From utilitarian object to fine art the role of the ceramic vessel has
undergone many changes throughout history Many things ranging
from the Industrial Revolution to the theories found in Modernist and
Post-Modernist thinking have prompted these changes In a fine art
context the vessel has become an arena of exploration similar to that
of other art media My interests lie in what constitutes the function of
the vessel both socially and in terms of utility
David T Collins Regarding the Functility series the artist potter imposed function of each
piece is that of vehicle A vehicle that sheds its utilitarian premise to
self referentially ponder its own utilitarian role by manifesting itself and
therefore examining itself through the eyes of other than ceramics
structures materials and systems This vessel role playing proposes what
I see as the inherent properties of the ceramic vessel space function and
utility This role playing or hybridization also examines the constructs
of language and identity with regard to art objecthood and craft by
attempting to de-center or test the constructs of our own expectations
of what a teapot should be My intention is for these pieces to serve as
an exercise or examples of what can be

When I wake up in the middle of a dream I remember almost everyshy
thing the color of the room the person walking by the smell of the air
the direction of the light and the way I am moving within it I believe
our memories are similarly constructed It is the blending of time event
objects and environment that constructs a permanent impression on our
conscious and subconscious mind
To me this combination of events and impressions that happen in our
dreams and waking lives is recorded within our memories and combined
to create a notion of place I define place as where we live how we feel
what we believe is important and insignificant it is the core of who we
are and the locations we inhabit
Suzanne Faris I am interested in exploring this multiplicity that exists within the
depths of the places within myself and my perception of who and what
surrounds me The work I am currently doing is intended to engage the
viewer through the construction of the essence of a place event or
circumstance influenced more heavily through concept and construction
by memory and impression than rational organization

G ame Boys is an ongoing portrait series of young men engaged in a
familiar pastime - they are playing video games For the past two years
I have been photographing video game players who come to my studio
sit in the dark and play for hours while I quietly watch and shoot The
studio setting lends a theatrical quality to this commonplace activity
Sometimes I watch the game to see a particularly interesting sequence
but mostly I just watch the game players I seek to explore the popular
culture phenomenon of video games by examining the garners who play
them Because my work is rooted in the tradition of portrait photography
I look beyond the hype surrounding video games and focus on the players
themselves Traditionally the belief has been that a portrait could tell us
a great deal about a subject a window into a persons inner character
could be found through facial expressions Although the expressions on
my subjects may appear to be passive the garners in these photographs
are actually performing fast-paced maneuvers and executing split-second
decisions making these portraits of intense concentration

Amara Geffen The project a partnership between Amara Geffen PennDOT and
Allegheny College is a community based collaborative environmental
art installation Since 2002 when the project began annual charettes
involving over 100 collaborators have been held to gather community
input Allegheny College and community interns hired with support from
Allegheny Colleges Center for Economic and Environmental Development
(CEED) then set up shop at the local PennDOT facility spending eleven
weeks in residence each summer Under the direction of artist this team
then works to refine and implement community designs fabricating
between 100-250 feet of the project each summer
To date 730 feet have been produced when completed Read Between the

Carl Gustafson In these paintings it is my intention to create a new experience in the
way of looking at life I am searching for ways to visually represent the
extremes humanity is emotionally and physically capable of It is my hope
that the viewer will relate to these images in a similar way while also
drawing their own conclusions and applying them to their own life

The Departure Series presents the 17 largest airports in the United States
Each object is an accurate map of the airports runways taxiways hangars
and terminals hand-cut from paper
Kristofer Harzinski Airports are spaces we all have in common They hold onto us for a
temporary pit stop on a long journey They are curious intermediate
zones only slightly different from one another Each airport vaporously
reflects its location There is slight diversity a distance between here and
home but immediately we recognize most of the elements We know this
place We understand what to do here even though we have never been
here before While there for a few hours or just a few minutes we
momentarily come into contact with thousands of people People who
normally have nothing in common today are briefly joined in a single
location People who we will never see again in our lives are seated next
to us waiting just as we are for the end of the journey
The paper airport is intricate and fragile Please realize your paper airport
will not last forever Yet it may outlast its more permanent relatives

These digital photographs reflect my long-standing interest in material
culture - the things that we produce acquire and arrange for their
usefulness and aesthetic qualities Variously the photographs in this series
depict objects arranged carefully or haphazardly for art students to draw
merchandise offered in stores or store window displays and miscellaneous
collections of items in homes and offices None of these things were
arranged by me or for me but even the more transparent of these
photographs include my subjective response that significantly alters the
apparent intentions of the people who arranged them
Robert Raczka The photographs are meant to have a playfully surreal quality As the
largely - but not entirely - practical intentions of the people who
arranged them intersect with my aesthetic and conceptual intentions
these photographs say something about me as well as something about
the individuals who arranged them and the culture that produced them
though it would be impossible for viewers to accurately disentangle
those forces This does not in my thinking constitute a problem

The artwork that I am making at this time involves finding discarded
and unwanted papers books and paintings I then turn them into new
works of art I draw and paint on top of them add things to them
resurrect them and give them a new life Like a physician I try to help
and heal them and give them new meanings and purposes Pages is part
of a larger body of work called The Clarence Series I purchased Clarences
school work at an auction I dont know him but I know that he saved
all of his homework from grade school through accounting school I am
a collaborator on a grand scale working with many individuals like
Clarence and other unknown artists I experience a great sense of artistic
freedom in making these pieces I do not judge them I try to preserve the
beauty of unintentional marks and everyday jottings I try to enhance
them and contribute to them and make them into artworks that are not
the product of an individual ego including my own

In my latest series I have taken inspiration from early botanical
illustrations creating abstracted orchid corsages These pieces provide a
lasting current day alternative to commercial floral accessories while also
commenting on the idea of preciousness and rarity Other recent works in
this exhibition represent a continuing investigation of how wearable
objects interact with the surface of the body Using a variety of medical
adhesives and wound-treatment devices the brooches are worn directly
on the skin
Rebecca Strzelec All of my work is created in the digital environment using computer-aided
design When using the computer as a medium one is not just given a
new set of materials or tools but an entirely new method of construction
When the creative process is complete within the CAD environment the
objects are realized tangibly through the use of rapid prototyping Rapid
prototyping involves various computer-controlled machines that translate
CAD data into tangible objects The objects are built layer upon layer in
various plastics and photosensitive resins

M y source of inspiration is the topography and colors in the landscape
I find the forms shapes textures and colors around me fascinating And
I am intrigued that I can transform natural fibers into positive shapes and
sculptural forms
I created Langue du Viable to evoke a strong feeling of self in space
I incorporated floor and wall pieces to create an environment The threeshy
dimensional elements encourage you to relate to the size and scale of the
sculptural forms The wall relief invites you to come in and participate
in defining my fantasy
Georgette L Veeder I make paper from shredded cotton rags that I soak and beat in water
with a Hollander-type beater to hydrate the cellulose and separate the
individual fibers The basic color of my paper is due to the original color
of the cotton rags themselves but I also sometimes add additional pigment
to the pulp For this installation I made the original pieces in clay and
then produced rubber molds from the clay originals I then pressed my
wet pulp into the rubber molds Once dried I airbrushed some areas
with acrylic
My use of recycled cotton rags to make my paper is consistent with my
commitment to the environment I use handmade rag paper because it
is ecologically friendly and historically genuine I am always discovering
new potentials in handmade paper and at the same time I am developing
sensitivity to its limitations It is this balance that defines my creative
expression

W hen I took my first art history course I was fascinated by artists who
represented the sublime the awe-inspiring by reducing it to wall-sized
two dimensionality and hanging it in a museum The fact that I was
seeing the work of Friedrich Church Cole and others as photographic
reproductions in a warm darkened room increased the irony During a
visit to Olana Churchs home on the Hudson I learned that the landshy
scape which he saw from each room in his house was carefully planted
to create the most perfectly framed view possible
C=llristille ~elcll There is an amusing human impulse to reduce everything we encounter
to a more manageable scale and behavior Consider the development of
the frontier First over the horizon we saw a virgin wilderness In order to
get there more easily (always a human concern) we dig up stuff from one
place and put it in another and make a road Then we moved some more
stuff trees rocks more dirt and reassembled it into shelters from which
we can see what is left of the wilderness After we have removed as much
of the uncomfortable and dangerous as we can we replant the whole
place with manageable vegetation give it a name like Stonehenge or Deer
Run and stick some cement animals on the lawn to make it look more
like what The wilderness Over all this activity is that last vestige of the
sublime the sky that threatens storm drought flood blistering heat or
razor sharp cold

Mark Wonsidler Recently the poet Ann Lauterbach described poiesis as the making of
examples The poem she said is on the table between us Its invisible
Like faith or love I only know what it is by what you show me by what
you do In my practice the details of material form are always in relation
to a broader context This model is inescapably metonymic a string of
visible parts or actions point toward an unseen idea In Variant I these
actions include choosing painting or not painting and arranging The
form is a field of permutations old new circular oval square touched
untouched large small Each object is a version of the next asserting and
questioning the criteria which draw it into this constellation The second
Variant is a smaller sequence chosen by size and color Limited rather than
permutational its truncated order demands that each object surrender its
identity to pattern In the third piece Puzzle Box for Emily Dickinson form
is an open-ended sequence The components of the piece remain un-fixed
re-arrangeable Each new composition of the parts changes the last and
suggests a future of unnumbered variations The form is composed
between examples

Lisa Austin For months my daughter was a patient in an intensive care unit
At first my consciousness was limited to my child What began as an
emergency evolved into a bizarre normalcy Despite balloons and stuffed
animals the environment was starkly clinical Without darkness or
quiet there was no night Because of the danger of infection plants
were absent Televisions were plentiful windows were scarce Suffering
was expected In this semi-public arena children recovered or died I
witnessed a medical culture that effectively focused on the childs body
and rendered parents irrelevant
The Child Garden for the fCU brings a fictional nature into the intensive
care unit The original 6 tall wood steel and Formica sculpture proved
too large for hospital use Redesigned at quarter-scale for rotationalshy
molding manufacture the Child Garden for the fCU will attach to existing
hospital tray-tables With seven slightly varied stylized plant forms the
artwork will offer a quiet visual oasis to patients and their families
While researching grants and searching for a suitable non-profit partner
to accept profits from this project Ive collaborated with Alisa Dix and
Jeffrey Brunner to publish a booklet version of the Child Garden for the fCU

In my work I am drawn to the processes of birth death and renewal
What lies below the surface fascinates me and I try to capture the
qualities of the unseen that express the sense of wonder that I feel in
my daily existence
I am attracted to glass because it can do everything that other sculptural
mediums can in addition it offers an inner space and transmits light
My subject matter includes babies animals and children as they embody
the essence of vulnerability that is the underlying theme in my work
Christina L Bothwell Currently I am exploring metamorphosis as a topic and have been
incorporating figures within figures in my pieces Within each glass figure
there is a smaller figure seen through the surface of the glass
I think of these pieces as souls each being pregnant with their own
potential giving birth to new improved versions of themselves

Daniel Burke bullbullbull Ofa feather is a display It is an arrangement of parts and sections
about a topic that I began exploring about four or five years ago At the
time I was often visited by birds as I ate lunch on my studio rooftop
Initially I shared scraps of bread with the birds and this feeding gradually
gave way to intense observation and eventually to photographs drawings
and painted studies of them The observation inspired library work on
birds - research on their types flight patterns habitat etc I eventually
began making and playing with parts - lots of parts paintings of trees
foliage ground covers and bird forms - both resting and flying The
parts were cut out and painted then placed on domino shapes or backed
with clothes-pins so that they could be placed anywhere The parts grew
into bird facades and cutouts of fences poles bushes and gates (places for
them to perch) I eventually had enough material so that I could begin to
organize the elements While arranging the individual parts the overall
artwork demonstrated its needs some of the original parts and sections
were taken away while other new pieces were made and added to the
final assemblage While I continue to explore other bird displays I am
currently working on parts that will go into pieces about vessel forms
musical instruments funerary flowers and gated gardens

From utilitarian object to fine art the role of the ceramic vessel has
undergone many changes throughout history Many things ranging
from the Industrial Revolution to the theories found in Modernist and
Post-Modernist thinking have prompted these changes In a fine art
context the vessel has become an arena of exploration similar to that
of other art media My interests lie in what constitutes the function of
the vessel both socially and in terms of utility
David T Collins Regarding the Functility series the artist potter imposed function of each
piece is that of vehicle A vehicle that sheds its utilitarian premise to
self referentially ponder its own utilitarian role by manifesting itself and
therefore examining itself through the eyes of other than ceramics
structures materials and systems This vessel role playing proposes what
I see as the inherent properties of the ceramic vessel space function and
utility This role playing or hybridization also examines the constructs
of language and identity with regard to art objecthood and craft by
attempting to de-center or test the constructs of our own expectations
of what a teapot should be My intention is for these pieces to serve as
an exercise or examples of what can be

When I wake up in the middle of a dream I remember almost everyshy
thing the color of the room the person walking by the smell of the air
the direction of the light and the way I am moving within it I believe
our memories are similarly constructed It is the blending of time event
objects and environment that constructs a permanent impression on our
conscious and subconscious mind
To me this combination of events and impressions that happen in our
dreams and waking lives is recorded within our memories and combined
to create a notion of place I define place as where we live how we feel
what we believe is important and insignificant it is the core of who we
are and the locations we inhabit
Suzanne Faris I am interested in exploring this multiplicity that exists within the
depths of the places within myself and my perception of who and what
surrounds me The work I am currently doing is intended to engage the
viewer through the construction of the essence of a place event or
circumstance influenced more heavily through concept and construction
by memory and impression than rational organization

G ame Boys is an ongoing portrait series of young men engaged in a
familiar pastime - they are playing video games For the past two years
I have been photographing video game players who come to my studio
sit in the dark and play for hours while I quietly watch and shoot The
studio setting lends a theatrical quality to this commonplace activity
Sometimes I watch the game to see a particularly interesting sequence
but mostly I just watch the game players I seek to explore the popular
culture phenomenon of video games by examining the garners who play
them Because my work is rooted in the tradition of portrait photography
I look beyond the hype surrounding video games and focus on the players
themselves Traditionally the belief has been that a portrait could tell us
a great deal about a subject a window into a persons inner character
could be found through facial expressions Although the expressions on
my subjects may appear to be passive the garners in these photographs
are actually performing fast-paced maneuvers and executing split-second
decisions making these portraits of intense concentration

Celebrating the landscape environment and community of Crawford
County this sculptural relief represents a collective cognitive map of our
community while demonstrating creative reuse
Amara Geffen The project a partnership between Amara Geffen PennDOT and
Allegheny College is a community based collaborative environmental
art installation Since 2002 when the project began annual charettes
involving over 100 collaborators have been held to gather community
input Allegheny College and community interns hired with support from
Allegheny Colleges Center for Economic and Environmental Development
(CEED) then set up shop at the local PennDOT facility spending eleven
weeks in residence each summer Under the direction of artist this team
then works to refine and implement community designs fabricating
between 100-250 feet of the project each summer
To date 730 feet have been produced when completed Read Between the

Carl Gustafson In these paintings it is my intention to create a new experience in the
way of looking at life I am searching for ways to visually represent the
extremes humanity is emotionally and physically capable of It is my hope
that the viewer will relate to these images in a similar way while also
drawing their own conclusions and applying them to their own life

The Departure Series presents the 17 largest airports in the United States
Each object is an accurate map of the airports runways taxiways hangars
and terminals hand-cut from paper
Kristofer Harzinski Airports are spaces we all have in common They hold onto us for a
temporary pit stop on a long journey They are curious intermediate
zones only slightly different from one another Each airport vaporously
reflects its location There is slight diversity a distance between here and
home but immediately we recognize most of the elements We know this
place We understand what to do here even though we have never been
here before While there for a few hours or just a few minutes we
momentarily come into contact with thousands of people People who
normally have nothing in common today are briefly joined in a single
location People who we will never see again in our lives are seated next
to us waiting just as we are for the end of the journey
The paper airport is intricate and fragile Please realize your paper airport
will not last forever Yet it may outlast its more permanent relatives

These digital photographs reflect my long-standing interest in material
culture - the things that we produce acquire and arrange for their
usefulness and aesthetic qualities Variously the photographs in this series
depict objects arranged carefully or haphazardly for art students to draw
merchandise offered in stores or store window displays and miscellaneous
collections of items in homes and offices None of these things were
arranged by me or for me but even the more transparent of these
photographs include my subjective response that significantly alters the
apparent intentions of the people who arranged them
Robert Raczka The photographs are meant to have a playfully surreal quality As the
largely - but not entirely - practical intentions of the people who
arranged them intersect with my aesthetic and conceptual intentions
these photographs say something about me as well as something about
the individuals who arranged them and the culture that produced them
though it would be impossible for viewers to accurately disentangle
those forces This does not in my thinking constitute a problem

The artwork that I am making at this time involves finding discarded
and unwanted papers books and paintings I then turn them into new
works of art I draw and paint on top of them add things to them
resurrect them and give them a new life Like a physician I try to help
and heal them and give them new meanings and purposes Pages is part
of a larger body of work called The Clarence Series I purchased Clarences
school work at an auction I dont know him but I know that he saved
all of his homework from grade school through accounting school I am
a collaborator on a grand scale working with many individuals like
Clarence and other unknown artists I experience a great sense of artistic
freedom in making these pieces I do not judge them I try to preserve the
beauty of unintentional marks and everyday jottings I try to enhance
them and contribute to them and make them into artworks that are not
the product of an individual ego including my own

In my latest series I have taken inspiration from early botanical
illustrations creating abstracted orchid corsages These pieces provide a
lasting current day alternative to commercial floral accessories while also
commenting on the idea of preciousness and rarity Other recent works in
this exhibition represent a continuing investigation of how wearable
objects interact with the surface of the body Using a variety of medical
adhesives and wound-treatment devices the brooches are worn directly
on the skin
Rebecca Strzelec All of my work is created in the digital environment using computer-aided
design When using the computer as a medium one is not just given a
new set of materials or tools but an entirely new method of construction
When the creative process is complete within the CAD environment the
objects are realized tangibly through the use of rapid prototyping Rapid
prototyping involves various computer-controlled machines that translate
CAD data into tangible objects The objects are built layer upon layer in
various plastics and photosensitive resins

M y source of inspiration is the topography and colors in the landscape
I find the forms shapes textures and colors around me fascinating And
I am intrigued that I can transform natural fibers into positive shapes and
sculptural forms
I created Langue du Viable to evoke a strong feeling of self in space
I incorporated floor and wall pieces to create an environment The threeshy
dimensional elements encourage you to relate to the size and scale of the
sculptural forms The wall relief invites you to come in and participate
in defining my fantasy
Georgette L Veeder I make paper from shredded cotton rags that I soak and beat in water
with a Hollander-type beater to hydrate the cellulose and separate the
individual fibers The basic color of my paper is due to the original color
of the cotton rags themselves but I also sometimes add additional pigment
to the pulp For this installation I made the original pieces in clay and
then produced rubber molds from the clay originals I then pressed my
wet pulp into the rubber molds Once dried I airbrushed some areas
with acrylic
My use of recycled cotton rags to make my paper is consistent with my
commitment to the environment I use handmade rag paper because it
is ecologically friendly and historically genuine I am always discovering
new potentials in handmade paper and at the same time I am developing
sensitivity to its limitations It is this balance that defines my creative
expression

W hen I took my first art history course I was fascinated by artists who
represented the sublime the awe-inspiring by reducing it to wall-sized
two dimensionality and hanging it in a museum The fact that I was
seeing the work of Friedrich Church Cole and others as photographic
reproductions in a warm darkened room increased the irony During a
visit to Olana Churchs home on the Hudson I learned that the landshy
scape which he saw from each room in his house was carefully planted
to create the most perfectly framed view possible
C=llristille ~elcll There is an amusing human impulse to reduce everything we encounter
to a more manageable scale and behavior Consider the development of
the frontier First over the horizon we saw a virgin wilderness In order to
get there more easily (always a human concern) we dig up stuff from one
place and put it in another and make a road Then we moved some more
stuff trees rocks more dirt and reassembled it into shelters from which
we can see what is left of the wilderness After we have removed as much
of the uncomfortable and dangerous as we can we replant the whole
place with manageable vegetation give it a name like Stonehenge or Deer
Run and stick some cement animals on the lawn to make it look more
like what The wilderness Over all this activity is that last vestige of the
sublime the sky that threatens storm drought flood blistering heat or
razor sharp cold

Mark Wonsidler Recently the poet Ann Lauterbach described poiesis as the making of
examples The poem she said is on the table between us Its invisible
Like faith or love I only know what it is by what you show me by what
you do In my practice the details of material form are always in relation
to a broader context This model is inescapably metonymic a string of
visible parts or actions point toward an unseen idea In Variant I these
actions include choosing painting or not painting and arranging The
form is a field of permutations old new circular oval square touched
untouched large small Each object is a version of the next asserting and
questioning the criteria which draw it into this constellation The second
Variant is a smaller sequence chosen by size and color Limited rather than
permutational its truncated order demands that each object surrender its
identity to pattern In the third piece Puzzle Box for Emily Dickinson form
is an open-ended sequence The components of the piece remain un-fixed
re-arrangeable Each new composition of the parts changes the last and
suggests a future of unnumbered variations The form is composed
between examples

In my work I am drawn to the processes of birth death and renewal
What lies below the surface fascinates me and I try to capture the
qualities of the unseen that express the sense of wonder that I feel in
my daily existence
I am attracted to glass because it can do everything that other sculptural
mediums can in addition it offers an inner space and transmits light
My subject matter includes babies animals and children as they embody
the essence of vulnerability that is the underlying theme in my work
Christina L Bothwell Currently I am exploring metamorphosis as a topic and have been
incorporating figures within figures in my pieces Within each glass figure
there is a smaller figure seen through the surface of the glass
I think of these pieces as souls each being pregnant with their own
potential giving birth to new improved versions of themselves

Daniel Burke bullbullbull Ofa feather is a display It is an arrangement of parts and sections
about a topic that I began exploring about four or five years ago At the
time I was often visited by birds as I ate lunch on my studio rooftop
Initially I shared scraps of bread with the birds and this feeding gradually
gave way to intense observation and eventually to photographs drawings
and painted studies of them The observation inspired library work on
birds - research on their types flight patterns habitat etc I eventually
began making and playing with parts - lots of parts paintings of trees
foliage ground covers and bird forms - both resting and flying The
parts were cut out and painted then placed on domino shapes or backed
with clothes-pins so that they could be placed anywhere The parts grew
into bird facades and cutouts of fences poles bushes and gates (places for
them to perch) I eventually had enough material so that I could begin to
organize the elements While arranging the individual parts the overall
artwork demonstrated its needs some of the original parts and sections
were taken away while other new pieces were made and added to the
final assemblage While I continue to explore other bird displays I am
currently working on parts that will go into pieces about vessel forms
musical instruments funerary flowers and gated gardens

From utilitarian object to fine art the role of the ceramic vessel has
undergone many changes throughout history Many things ranging
from the Industrial Revolution to the theories found in Modernist and
Post-Modernist thinking have prompted these changes In a fine art
context the vessel has become an arena of exploration similar to that
of other art media My interests lie in what constitutes the function of
the vessel both socially and in terms of utility
David T Collins Regarding the Functility series the artist potter imposed function of each
piece is that of vehicle A vehicle that sheds its utilitarian premise to
self referentially ponder its own utilitarian role by manifesting itself and
therefore examining itself through the eyes of other than ceramics
structures materials and systems This vessel role playing proposes what
I see as the inherent properties of the ceramic vessel space function and
utility This role playing or hybridization also examines the constructs
of language and identity with regard to art objecthood and craft by
attempting to de-center or test the constructs of our own expectations
of what a teapot should be My intention is for these pieces to serve as
an exercise or examples of what can be

When I wake up in the middle of a dream I remember almost everyshy
thing the color of the room the person walking by the smell of the air
the direction of the light and the way I am moving within it I believe
our memories are similarly constructed It is the blending of time event
objects and environment that constructs a permanent impression on our
conscious and subconscious mind
To me this combination of events and impressions that happen in our
dreams and waking lives is recorded within our memories and combined
to create a notion of place I define place as where we live how we feel
what we believe is important and insignificant it is the core of who we
are and the locations we inhabit
Suzanne Faris I am interested in exploring this multiplicity that exists within the
depths of the places within myself and my perception of who and what
surrounds me The work I am currently doing is intended to engage the
viewer through the construction of the essence of a place event or
circumstance influenced more heavily through concept and construction
by memory and impression than rational organization

G ame Boys is an ongoing portrait series of young men engaged in a
familiar pastime - they are playing video games For the past two years
I have been photographing video game players who come to my studio
sit in the dark and play for hours while I quietly watch and shoot The
studio setting lends a theatrical quality to this commonplace activity
Sometimes I watch the game to see a particularly interesting sequence
but mostly I just watch the game players I seek to explore the popular
culture phenomenon of video games by examining the garners who play
them Because my work is rooted in the tradition of portrait photography
I look beyond the hype surrounding video games and focus on the players
themselves Traditionally the belief has been that a portrait could tell us
a great deal about a subject a window into a persons inner character
could be found through facial expressions Although the expressions on
my subjects may appear to be passive the garners in these photographs
are actually performing fast-paced maneuvers and executing split-second
decisions making these portraits of intense concentration

storage lot in Meadville PA RBTS depicts the landscape of the French
Creek watershed and local features such as Allegheny Colleges Bentley
Hall Conneaut Lake Park and the Thurston Classic Balloon Race
Celebrating the landscape environment and community of Crawford
County this sculptural relief represents a collective cognitive map of our
community while demonstrating creative reuse
Amara Geffen The project a partnership between Amara Geffen PennDOT and
Allegheny College is a community based collaborative environmental
art installation Since 2002 when the project began annual charettes
involving over 100 collaborators have been held to gather community
input Allegheny College and community interns hired with support from
Allegheny Colleges Center for Economic and Environmental Development
(CEED) then set up shop at the local PennDOT facility spending eleven
weeks in residence each summer Under the direction of artist this team
then works to refine and implement community designs fabricating
between 100-250 feet of the project each summer
To date 730 feet have been produced when completed Read Between the

Carl Gustafson In these paintings it is my intention to create a new experience in the
way of looking at life I am searching for ways to visually represent the
extremes humanity is emotionally and physically capable of It is my hope
that the viewer will relate to these images in a similar way while also
drawing their own conclusions and applying them to their own life

The Departure Series presents the 17 largest airports in the United States
Each object is an accurate map of the airports runways taxiways hangars
and terminals hand-cut from paper
Kristofer Harzinski Airports are spaces we all have in common They hold onto us for a
temporary pit stop on a long journey They are curious intermediate
zones only slightly different from one another Each airport vaporously
reflects its location There is slight diversity a distance between here and
home but immediately we recognize most of the elements We know this
place We understand what to do here even though we have never been
here before While there for a few hours or just a few minutes we
momentarily come into contact with thousands of people People who
normally have nothing in common today are briefly joined in a single
location People who we will never see again in our lives are seated next
to us waiting just as we are for the end of the journey
The paper airport is intricate and fragile Please realize your paper airport
will not last forever Yet it may outlast its more permanent relatives

These digital photographs reflect my long-standing interest in material
culture - the things that we produce acquire and arrange for their
usefulness and aesthetic qualities Variously the photographs in this series
depict objects arranged carefully or haphazardly for art students to draw
merchandise offered in stores or store window displays and miscellaneous
collections of items in homes and offices None of these things were
arranged by me or for me but even the more transparent of these
photographs include my subjective response that significantly alters the
apparent intentions of the people who arranged them
Robert Raczka The photographs are meant to have a playfully surreal quality As the
largely - but not entirely - practical intentions of the people who
arranged them intersect with my aesthetic and conceptual intentions
these photographs say something about me as well as something about
the individuals who arranged them and the culture that produced them
though it would be impossible for viewers to accurately disentangle
those forces This does not in my thinking constitute a problem

The artwork that I am making at this time involves finding discarded
and unwanted papers books and paintings I then turn them into new
works of art I draw and paint on top of them add things to them
resurrect them and give them a new life Like a physician I try to help
and heal them and give them new meanings and purposes Pages is part
of a larger body of work called The Clarence Series I purchased Clarences
school work at an auction I dont know him but I know that he saved
all of his homework from grade school through accounting school I am
a collaborator on a grand scale working with many individuals like
Clarence and other unknown artists I experience a great sense of artistic
freedom in making these pieces I do not judge them I try to preserve the
beauty of unintentional marks and everyday jottings I try to enhance
them and contribute to them and make them into artworks that are not
the product of an individual ego including my own

In my latest series I have taken inspiration from early botanical
illustrations creating abstracted orchid corsages These pieces provide a
lasting current day alternative to commercial floral accessories while also
commenting on the idea of preciousness and rarity Other recent works in
this exhibition represent a continuing investigation of how wearable
objects interact with the surface of the body Using a variety of medical
adhesives and wound-treatment devices the brooches are worn directly
on the skin
Rebecca Strzelec All of my work is created in the digital environment using computer-aided
design When using the computer as a medium one is not just given a
new set of materials or tools but an entirely new method of construction
When the creative process is complete within the CAD environment the
objects are realized tangibly through the use of rapid prototyping Rapid
prototyping involves various computer-controlled machines that translate
CAD data into tangible objects The objects are built layer upon layer in
various plastics and photosensitive resins

M y source of inspiration is the topography and colors in the landscape
I find the forms shapes textures and colors around me fascinating And
I am intrigued that I can transform natural fibers into positive shapes and
sculptural forms
I created Langue du Viable to evoke a strong feeling of self in space
I incorporated floor and wall pieces to create an environment The threeshy
dimensional elements encourage you to relate to the size and scale of the
sculptural forms The wall relief invites you to come in and participate
in defining my fantasy
Georgette L Veeder I make paper from shredded cotton rags that I soak and beat in water
with a Hollander-type beater to hydrate the cellulose and separate the
individual fibers The basic color of my paper is due to the original color
of the cotton rags themselves but I also sometimes add additional pigment
to the pulp For this installation I made the original pieces in clay and
then produced rubber molds from the clay originals I then pressed my
wet pulp into the rubber molds Once dried I airbrushed some areas
with acrylic
My use of recycled cotton rags to make my paper is consistent with my
commitment to the environment I use handmade rag paper because it
is ecologically friendly and historically genuine I am always discovering
new potentials in handmade paper and at the same time I am developing
sensitivity to its limitations It is this balance that defines my creative
expression

W hen I took my first art history course I was fascinated by artists who
represented the sublime the awe-inspiring by reducing it to wall-sized
two dimensionality and hanging it in a museum The fact that I was
seeing the work of Friedrich Church Cole and others as photographic
reproductions in a warm darkened room increased the irony During a
visit to Olana Churchs home on the Hudson I learned that the landshy
scape which he saw from each room in his house was carefully planted
to create the most perfectly framed view possible
C=llristille ~elcll There is an amusing human impulse to reduce everything we encounter
to a more manageable scale and behavior Consider the development of
the frontier First over the horizon we saw a virgin wilderness In order to
get there more easily (always a human concern) we dig up stuff from one
place and put it in another and make a road Then we moved some more
stuff trees rocks more dirt and reassembled it into shelters from which
we can see what is left of the wilderness After we have removed as much
of the uncomfortable and dangerous as we can we replant the whole
place with manageable vegetation give it a name like Stonehenge or Deer
Run and stick some cement animals on the lawn to make it look more
like what The wilderness Over all this activity is that last vestige of the
sublime the sky that threatens storm drought flood blistering heat or
razor sharp cold

Mark Wonsidler Recently the poet Ann Lauterbach described poiesis as the making of
examples The poem she said is on the table between us Its invisible
Like faith or love I only know what it is by what you show me by what
you do In my practice the details of material form are always in relation
to a broader context This model is inescapably metonymic a string of
visible parts or actions point toward an unseen idea In Variant I these
actions include choosing painting or not painting and arranging The
form is a field of permutations old new circular oval square touched
untouched large small Each object is a version of the next asserting and
questioning the criteria which draw it into this constellation The second
Variant is a smaller sequence chosen by size and color Limited rather than
permutational its truncated order demands that each object surrender its
identity to pattern In the third piece Puzzle Box for Emily Dickinson form
is an open-ended sequence The components of the piece remain un-fixed
re-arrangeable Each new composition of the parts changes the last and
suggests a future of unnumbered variations The form is composed
between examples

Daniel Burke bullbullbull Ofa feather is a display It is an arrangement of parts and sections
about a topic that I began exploring about four or five years ago At the
time I was often visited by birds as I ate lunch on my studio rooftop
Initially I shared scraps of bread with the birds and this feeding gradually
gave way to intense observation and eventually to photographs drawings
and painted studies of them The observation inspired library work on
birds - research on their types flight patterns habitat etc I eventually
began making and playing with parts - lots of parts paintings of trees
foliage ground covers and bird forms - both resting and flying The
parts were cut out and painted then placed on domino shapes or backed
with clothes-pins so that they could be placed anywhere The parts grew
into bird facades and cutouts of fences poles bushes and gates (places for
them to perch) I eventually had enough material so that I could begin to
organize the elements While arranging the individual parts the overall
artwork demonstrated its needs some of the original parts and sections
were taken away while other new pieces were made and added to the
final assemblage While I continue to explore other bird displays I am
currently working on parts that will go into pieces about vessel forms
musical instruments funerary flowers and gated gardens

From utilitarian object to fine art the role of the ceramic vessel has
undergone many changes throughout history Many things ranging
from the Industrial Revolution to the theories found in Modernist and
Post-Modernist thinking have prompted these changes In a fine art
context the vessel has become an arena of exploration similar to that
of other art media My interests lie in what constitutes the function of
the vessel both socially and in terms of utility
David T Collins Regarding the Functility series the artist potter imposed function of each
piece is that of vehicle A vehicle that sheds its utilitarian premise to
self referentially ponder its own utilitarian role by manifesting itself and
therefore examining itself through the eyes of other than ceramics
structures materials and systems This vessel role playing proposes what
I see as the inherent properties of the ceramic vessel space function and
utility This role playing or hybridization also examines the constructs
of language and identity with regard to art objecthood and craft by
attempting to de-center or test the constructs of our own expectations
of what a teapot should be My intention is for these pieces to serve as
an exercise or examples of what can be

When I wake up in the middle of a dream I remember almost everyshy
thing the color of the room the person walking by the smell of the air
the direction of the light and the way I am moving within it I believe
our memories are similarly constructed It is the blending of time event
objects and environment that constructs a permanent impression on our
conscious and subconscious mind
To me this combination of events and impressions that happen in our
dreams and waking lives is recorded within our memories and combined
to create a notion of place I define place as where we live how we feel
what we believe is important and insignificant it is the core of who we
are and the locations we inhabit
Suzanne Faris I am interested in exploring this multiplicity that exists within the
depths of the places within myself and my perception of who and what
surrounds me The work I am currently doing is intended to engage the
viewer through the construction of the essence of a place event or
circumstance influenced more heavily through concept and construction
by memory and impression than rational organization

G ame Boys is an ongoing portrait series of young men engaged in a
familiar pastime - they are playing video games For the past two years
I have been photographing video game players who come to my studio
sit in the dark and play for hours while I quietly watch and shoot The
studio setting lends a theatrical quality to this commonplace activity
Sometimes I watch the game to see a particularly interesting sequence
but mostly I just watch the game players I seek to explore the popular
culture phenomenon of video games by examining the garners who play
them Because my work is rooted in the tradition of portrait photography
I look beyond the hype surrounding video games and focus on the players
themselves Traditionally the belief has been that a portrait could tell us
a great deal about a subject a window into a persons inner character
could be found through facial expressions Although the expressions on
my subjects may appear to be passive the garners in these photographs
are actually performing fast-paced maneuvers and executing split-second
decisions making these portraits of intense concentration

F abricated from recycled road signs Read Between the Signs (RBTS)
screens the Pennsylvania Department of Transportations (PennDOTs)
storage lot in Meadville PA RBTS depicts the landscape of the French
Creek watershed and local features such as Allegheny Colleges Bentley
Hall Conneaut Lake Park and the Thurston Classic Balloon Race
Celebrating the landscape environment and community of Crawford
County this sculptural relief represents a collective cognitive map of our
community while demonstrating creative reuse
Amara Geffen The project a partnership between Amara Geffen PennDOT and
Allegheny College is a community based collaborative environmental
art installation Since 2002 when the project began annual charettes
involving over 100 collaborators have been held to gather community
input Allegheny College and community interns hired with support from
Allegheny Colleges Center for Economic and Environmental Development
(CEED) then set up shop at the local PennDOT facility spending eleven
weeks in residence each summer Under the direction of artist this team
then works to refine and implement community designs fabricating
between 100-250 feet of the project each summer
To date 730 feet have been produced when completed Read Between the
Signs will reach its full scale of 1200 x 10 feet For additional information

Carl Gustafson In these paintings it is my intention to create a new experience in the
way of looking at life I am searching for ways to visually represent the
extremes humanity is emotionally and physically capable of It is my hope
that the viewer will relate to these images in a similar way while also
drawing their own conclusions and applying them to their own life

The Departure Series presents the 17 largest airports in the United States
Each object is an accurate map of the airports runways taxiways hangars
and terminals hand-cut from paper
Kristofer Harzinski Airports are spaces we all have in common They hold onto us for a
temporary pit stop on a long journey They are curious intermediate
zones only slightly different from one another Each airport vaporously
reflects its location There is slight diversity a distance between here and
home but immediately we recognize most of the elements We know this
place We understand what to do here even though we have never been
here before While there for a few hours or just a few minutes we
momentarily come into contact with thousands of people People who
normally have nothing in common today are briefly joined in a single
location People who we will never see again in our lives are seated next
to us waiting just as we are for the end of the journey
The paper airport is intricate and fragile Please realize your paper airport
will not last forever Yet it may outlast its more permanent relatives

These digital photographs reflect my long-standing interest in material
culture - the things that we produce acquire and arrange for their
usefulness and aesthetic qualities Variously the photographs in this series
depict objects arranged carefully or haphazardly for art students to draw
merchandise offered in stores or store window displays and miscellaneous
collections of items in homes and offices None of these things were
arranged by me or for me but even the more transparent of these
photographs include my subjective response that significantly alters the
apparent intentions of the people who arranged them
Robert Raczka The photographs are meant to have a playfully surreal quality As the
largely - but not entirely - practical intentions of the people who
arranged them intersect with my aesthetic and conceptual intentions
these photographs say something about me as well as something about
the individuals who arranged them and the culture that produced them
though it would be impossible for viewers to accurately disentangle
those forces This does not in my thinking constitute a problem

The artwork that I am making at this time involves finding discarded
and unwanted papers books and paintings I then turn them into new
works of art I draw and paint on top of them add things to them
resurrect them and give them a new life Like a physician I try to help
and heal them and give them new meanings and purposes Pages is part
of a larger body of work called The Clarence Series I purchased Clarences
school work at an auction I dont know him but I know that he saved
all of his homework from grade school through accounting school I am
a collaborator on a grand scale working with many individuals like
Clarence and other unknown artists I experience a great sense of artistic
freedom in making these pieces I do not judge them I try to preserve the
beauty of unintentional marks and everyday jottings I try to enhance
them and contribute to them and make them into artworks that are not
the product of an individual ego including my own

In my latest series I have taken inspiration from early botanical
illustrations creating abstracted orchid corsages These pieces provide a
lasting current day alternative to commercial floral accessories while also
commenting on the idea of preciousness and rarity Other recent works in
this exhibition represent a continuing investigation of how wearable
objects interact with the surface of the body Using a variety of medical
adhesives and wound-treatment devices the brooches are worn directly
on the skin
Rebecca Strzelec All of my work is created in the digital environment using computer-aided
design When using the computer as a medium one is not just given a
new set of materials or tools but an entirely new method of construction
When the creative process is complete within the CAD environment the
objects are realized tangibly through the use of rapid prototyping Rapid
prototyping involves various computer-controlled machines that translate
CAD data into tangible objects The objects are built layer upon layer in
various plastics and photosensitive resins

M y source of inspiration is the topography and colors in the landscape
I find the forms shapes textures and colors around me fascinating And
I am intrigued that I can transform natural fibers into positive shapes and
sculptural forms
I created Langue du Viable to evoke a strong feeling of self in space
I incorporated floor and wall pieces to create an environment The threeshy
dimensional elements encourage you to relate to the size and scale of the
sculptural forms The wall relief invites you to come in and participate
in defining my fantasy
Georgette L Veeder I make paper from shredded cotton rags that I soak and beat in water
with a Hollander-type beater to hydrate the cellulose and separate the
individual fibers The basic color of my paper is due to the original color
of the cotton rags themselves but I also sometimes add additional pigment
to the pulp For this installation I made the original pieces in clay and
then produced rubber molds from the clay originals I then pressed my
wet pulp into the rubber molds Once dried I airbrushed some areas
with acrylic
My use of recycled cotton rags to make my paper is consistent with my
commitment to the environment I use handmade rag paper because it
is ecologically friendly and historically genuine I am always discovering
new potentials in handmade paper and at the same time I am developing
sensitivity to its limitations It is this balance that defines my creative
expression

W hen I took my first art history course I was fascinated by artists who
represented the sublime the awe-inspiring by reducing it to wall-sized
two dimensionality and hanging it in a museum The fact that I was
seeing the work of Friedrich Church Cole and others as photographic
reproductions in a warm darkened room increased the irony During a
visit to Olana Churchs home on the Hudson I learned that the landshy
scape which he saw from each room in his house was carefully planted
to create the most perfectly framed view possible
C=llristille ~elcll There is an amusing human impulse to reduce everything we encounter
to a more manageable scale and behavior Consider the development of
the frontier First over the horizon we saw a virgin wilderness In order to
get there more easily (always a human concern) we dig up stuff from one
place and put it in another and make a road Then we moved some more
stuff trees rocks more dirt and reassembled it into shelters from which
we can see what is left of the wilderness After we have removed as much
of the uncomfortable and dangerous as we can we replant the whole
place with manageable vegetation give it a name like Stonehenge or Deer
Run and stick some cement animals on the lawn to make it look more
like what The wilderness Over all this activity is that last vestige of the
sublime the sky that threatens storm drought flood blistering heat or
razor sharp cold

Mark Wonsidler Recently the poet Ann Lauterbach described poiesis as the making of
examples The poem she said is on the table between us Its invisible
Like faith or love I only know what it is by what you show me by what
you do In my practice the details of material form are always in relation
to a broader context This model is inescapably metonymic a string of
visible parts or actions point toward an unseen idea In Variant I these
actions include choosing painting or not painting and arranging The
form is a field of permutations old new circular oval square touched
untouched large small Each object is a version of the next asserting and
questioning the criteria which draw it into this constellation The second
Variant is a smaller sequence chosen by size and color Limited rather than
permutational its truncated order demands that each object surrender its
identity to pattern In the third piece Puzzle Box for Emily Dickinson form
is an open-ended sequence The components of the piece remain un-fixed
re-arrangeable Each new composition of the parts changes the last and
suggests a future of unnumbered variations The form is composed
between examples

From utilitarian object to fine art the role of the ceramic vessel has
undergone many changes throughout history Many things ranging
from the Industrial Revolution to the theories found in Modernist and
Post-Modernist thinking have prompted these changes In a fine art
context the vessel has become an arena of exploration similar to that
of other art media My interests lie in what constitutes the function of
the vessel both socially and in terms of utility
David T Collins Regarding the Functility series the artist potter imposed function of each
piece is that of vehicle A vehicle that sheds its utilitarian premise to
self referentially ponder its own utilitarian role by manifesting itself and
therefore examining itself through the eyes of other than ceramics
structures materials and systems This vessel role playing proposes what
I see as the inherent properties of the ceramic vessel space function and
utility This role playing or hybridization also examines the constructs
of language and identity with regard to art objecthood and craft by
attempting to de-center or test the constructs of our own expectations
of what a teapot should be My intention is for these pieces to serve as
an exercise or examples of what can be

When I wake up in the middle of a dream I remember almost everyshy
thing the color of the room the person walking by the smell of the air
the direction of the light and the way I am moving within it I believe
our memories are similarly constructed It is the blending of time event
objects and environment that constructs a permanent impression on our
conscious and subconscious mind
To me this combination of events and impressions that happen in our
dreams and waking lives is recorded within our memories and combined
to create a notion of place I define place as where we live how we feel
what we believe is important and insignificant it is the core of who we
are and the locations we inhabit
Suzanne Faris I am interested in exploring this multiplicity that exists within the
depths of the places within myself and my perception of who and what
surrounds me The work I am currently doing is intended to engage the
viewer through the construction of the essence of a place event or
circumstance influenced more heavily through concept and construction
by memory and impression than rational organization

G ame Boys is an ongoing portrait series of young men engaged in a
familiar pastime - they are playing video games For the past two years
I have been photographing video game players who come to my studio
sit in the dark and play for hours while I quietly watch and shoot The
studio setting lends a theatrical quality to this commonplace activity
Sometimes I watch the game to see a particularly interesting sequence
but mostly I just watch the game players I seek to explore the popular
culture phenomenon of video games by examining the garners who play
them Because my work is rooted in the tradition of portrait photography
I look beyond the hype surrounding video games and focus on the players
themselves Traditionally the belief has been that a portrait could tell us
a great deal about a subject a window into a persons inner character
could be found through facial expressions Although the expressions on
my subjects may appear to be passive the garners in these photographs
are actually performing fast-paced maneuvers and executing split-second
decisions making these portraits of intense concentration

F abricated from recycled road signs Read Between the Signs (RBTS)
screens the Pennsylvania Department of Transportations (PennDOTs)
storage lot in Meadville PA RBTS depicts the landscape of the French
Creek watershed and local features such as Allegheny Colleges Bentley
Hall Conneaut Lake Park and the Thurston Classic Balloon Race
Celebrating the landscape environment and community of Crawford
County this sculptural relief represents a collective cognitive map of our
community while demonstrating creative reuse
Amara Geffen The project a partnership between Amara Geffen PennDOT and
Allegheny College is a community based collaborative environmental
art installation Since 2002 when the project began annual charettes
involving over 100 collaborators have been held to gather community
input Allegheny College and community interns hired with support from
Allegheny Colleges Center for Economic and Environmental Development
(CEED) then set up shop at the local PennDOT facility spending eleven
weeks in residence each summer Under the direction of artist this team
then works to refine and implement community designs fabricating
between 100-250 feet of the project each summer
To date 730 feet have been produced when completed Read Between the
Signs will reach its full scale of 1200 x 10 feet For additional information

Carl Gustafson In these paintings it is my intention to create a new experience in the
way of looking at life I am searching for ways to visually represent the
extremes humanity is emotionally and physically capable of It is my hope
that the viewer will relate to these images in a similar way while also
drawing their own conclusions and applying them to their own life

The Departure Series presents the 17 largest airports in the United States
Each object is an accurate map of the airports runways taxiways hangars
and terminals hand-cut from paper
Kristofer Harzinski Airports are spaces we all have in common They hold onto us for a
temporary pit stop on a long journey They are curious intermediate
zones only slightly different from one another Each airport vaporously
reflects its location There is slight diversity a distance between here and
home but immediately we recognize most of the elements We know this
place We understand what to do here even though we have never been
here before While there for a few hours or just a few minutes we
momentarily come into contact with thousands of people People who
normally have nothing in common today are briefly joined in a single
location People who we will never see again in our lives are seated next
to us waiting just as we are for the end of the journey
The paper airport is intricate and fragile Please realize your paper airport
will not last forever Yet it may outlast its more permanent relatives

These digital photographs reflect my long-standing interest in material
culture - the things that we produce acquire and arrange for their
usefulness and aesthetic qualities Variously the photographs in this series
depict objects arranged carefully or haphazardly for art students to draw
merchandise offered in stores or store window displays and miscellaneous
collections of items in homes and offices None of these things were
arranged by me or for me but even the more transparent of these
photographs include my subjective response that significantly alters the
apparent intentions of the people who arranged them
Robert Raczka The photographs are meant to have a playfully surreal quality As the
largely - but not entirely - practical intentions of the people who
arranged them intersect with my aesthetic and conceptual intentions
these photographs say something about me as well as something about
the individuals who arranged them and the culture that produced them
though it would be impossible for viewers to accurately disentangle
those forces This does not in my thinking constitute a problem

The artwork that I am making at this time involves finding discarded
and unwanted papers books and paintings I then turn them into new
works of art I draw and paint on top of them add things to them
resurrect them and give them a new life Like a physician I try to help
and heal them and give them new meanings and purposes Pages is part
of a larger body of work called The Clarence Series I purchased Clarences
school work at an auction I dont know him but I know that he saved
all of his homework from grade school through accounting school I am
a collaborator on a grand scale working with many individuals like
Clarence and other unknown artists I experience a great sense of artistic
freedom in making these pieces I do not judge them I try to preserve the
beauty of unintentional marks and everyday jottings I try to enhance
them and contribute to them and make them into artworks that are not
the product of an individual ego including my own

In my latest series I have taken inspiration from early botanical
illustrations creating abstracted orchid corsages These pieces provide a
lasting current day alternative to commercial floral accessories while also
commenting on the idea of preciousness and rarity Other recent works in
this exhibition represent a continuing investigation of how wearable
objects interact with the surface of the body Using a variety of medical
adhesives and wound-treatment devices the brooches are worn directly
on the skin
Rebecca Strzelec All of my work is created in the digital environment using computer-aided
design When using the computer as a medium one is not just given a
new set of materials or tools but an entirely new method of construction
When the creative process is complete within the CAD environment the
objects are realized tangibly through the use of rapid prototyping Rapid
prototyping involves various computer-controlled machines that translate
CAD data into tangible objects The objects are built layer upon layer in
various plastics and photosensitive resins

M y source of inspiration is the topography and colors in the landscape
I find the forms shapes textures and colors around me fascinating And
I am intrigued that I can transform natural fibers into positive shapes and
sculptural forms
I created Langue du Viable to evoke a strong feeling of self in space
I incorporated floor and wall pieces to create an environment The threeshy
dimensional elements encourage you to relate to the size and scale of the
sculptural forms The wall relief invites you to come in and participate
in defining my fantasy
Georgette L Veeder I make paper from shredded cotton rags that I soak and beat in water
with a Hollander-type beater to hydrate the cellulose and separate the
individual fibers The basic color of my paper is due to the original color
of the cotton rags themselves but I also sometimes add additional pigment
to the pulp For this installation I made the original pieces in clay and
then produced rubber molds from the clay originals I then pressed my
wet pulp into the rubber molds Once dried I airbrushed some areas
with acrylic
My use of recycled cotton rags to make my paper is consistent with my
commitment to the environment I use handmade rag paper because it
is ecologically friendly and historically genuine I am always discovering
new potentials in handmade paper and at the same time I am developing
sensitivity to its limitations It is this balance that defines my creative
expression

W hen I took my first art history course I was fascinated by artists who
represented the sublime the awe-inspiring by reducing it to wall-sized
two dimensionality and hanging it in a museum The fact that I was
seeing the work of Friedrich Church Cole and others as photographic
reproductions in a warm darkened room increased the irony During a
visit to Olana Churchs home on the Hudson I learned that the landshy
scape which he saw from each room in his house was carefully planted
to create the most perfectly framed view possible
C=llristille ~elcll There is an amusing human impulse to reduce everything we encounter
to a more manageable scale and behavior Consider the development of
the frontier First over the horizon we saw a virgin wilderness In order to
get there more easily (always a human concern) we dig up stuff from one
place and put it in another and make a road Then we moved some more
stuff trees rocks more dirt and reassembled it into shelters from which
we can see what is left of the wilderness After we have removed as much
of the uncomfortable and dangerous as we can we replant the whole
place with manageable vegetation give it a name like Stonehenge or Deer
Run and stick some cement animals on the lawn to make it look more
like what The wilderness Over all this activity is that last vestige of the
sublime the sky that threatens storm drought flood blistering heat or
razor sharp cold

Mark Wonsidler Recently the poet Ann Lauterbach described poiesis as the making of
examples The poem she said is on the table between us Its invisible
Like faith or love I only know what it is by what you show me by what
you do In my practice the details of material form are always in relation
to a broader context This model is inescapably metonymic a string of
visible parts or actions point toward an unseen idea In Variant I these
actions include choosing painting or not painting and arranging The
form is a field of permutations old new circular oval square touched
untouched large small Each object is a version of the next asserting and
questioning the criteria which draw it into this constellation The second
Variant is a smaller sequence chosen by size and color Limited rather than
permutational its truncated order demands that each object surrender its
identity to pattern In the third piece Puzzle Box for Emily Dickinson form
is an open-ended sequence The components of the piece remain un-fixed
re-arrangeable Each new composition of the parts changes the last and
suggests a future of unnumbered variations The form is composed
between examples

When I wake up in the middle of a dream I remember almost everyshy
thing the color of the room the person walking by the smell of the air
the direction of the light and the way I am moving within it I believe
our memories are similarly constructed It is the blending of time event
objects and environment that constructs a permanent impression on our
conscious and subconscious mind
To me this combination of events and impressions that happen in our
dreams and waking lives is recorded within our memories and combined
to create a notion of place I define place as where we live how we feel
what we believe is important and insignificant it is the core of who we
are and the locations we inhabit
Suzanne Faris I am interested in exploring this multiplicity that exists within the
depths of the places within myself and my perception of who and what
surrounds me The work I am currently doing is intended to engage the
viewer through the construction of the essence of a place event or
circumstance influenced more heavily through concept and construction
by memory and impression than rational organization

G ame Boys is an ongoing portrait series of young men engaged in a
familiar pastime - they are playing video games For the past two years
I have been photographing video game players who come to my studio
sit in the dark and play for hours while I quietly watch and shoot The
studio setting lends a theatrical quality to this commonplace activity
Sometimes I watch the game to see a particularly interesting sequence
but mostly I just watch the game players I seek to explore the popular
culture phenomenon of video games by examining the garners who play
them Because my work is rooted in the tradition of portrait photography
I look beyond the hype surrounding video games and focus on the players
themselves Traditionally the belief has been that a portrait could tell us
a great deal about a subject a window into a persons inner character
could be found through facial expressions Although the expressions on
my subjects may appear to be passive the garners in these photographs
are actually performing fast-paced maneuvers and executing split-second
decisions making these portraits of intense concentration

storage lot in Meadville PA RBTS depicts the landscape of the French
Creek watershed and local features such as Allegheny Colleges Bentley
Hall Conneaut Lake Park and the Thurston Classic Balloon Race
Celebrating the landscape environment and community of Crawford
County this sculptural relief represents a collective cognitive map of our
community while demonstrating creative reuse
Amara Geffen The project a partnership between Amara Geffen PennDOT and
Allegheny College is a community based collaborative environmental
art installation Since 2002 when the project began annual charettes
involving over 100 collaborators have been held to gather community
input Allegheny College and community interns hired with support from
Allegheny Colleges Center for Economic and Environmental Development
(CEED) then set up shop at the local PennDOT facility spending eleven
weeks in residence each summer Under the direction of artist this team
then works to refine and implement community designs fabricating
between 100-250 feet of the project each summer
To date 730 feet have been produced when completed Read Between the
Signs will reach its full scale of 1200 x 10 feet For additional information

Carl Gustafson In these paintings it is my intention to create a new experience in the
way of looking at life I am searching for ways to visually represent the
extremes humanity is emotionally and physically capable of It is my hope
that the viewer will relate to these images in a similar way while also
drawing their own conclusions and applying them to their own life

The Departure Series presents the 17 largest airports in the United States
Each object is an accurate map of the airports runways taxiways hangars
and terminals hand-cut from paper
Kristofer Harzinski Airports are spaces we all have in common They hold onto us for a
temporary pit stop on a long journey They are curious intermediate
zones only slightly different from one another Each airport vaporously
reflects its location There is slight diversity a distance between here and
home but immediately we recognize most of the elements We know this
place We understand what to do here even though we have never been
here before While there for a few hours or just a few minutes we
momentarily come into contact with thousands of people People who
normally have nothing in common today are briefly joined in a single
location People who we will never see again in our lives are seated next
to us waiting just as we are for the end of the journey
The paper airport is intricate and fragile Please realize your paper airport
will not last forever Yet it may outlast its more permanent relatives

These digital photographs reflect my long-standing interest in material
culture - the things that we produce acquire and arrange for their
usefulness and aesthetic qualities Variously the photographs in this series
depict objects arranged carefully or haphazardly for art students to draw
merchandise offered in stores or store window displays and miscellaneous
collections of items in homes and offices None of these things were
arranged by me or for me but even the more transparent of these
photographs include my subjective response that significantly alters the
apparent intentions of the people who arranged them
Robert Raczka The photographs are meant to have a playfully surreal quality As the
largely - but not entirely - practical intentions of the people who
arranged them intersect with my aesthetic and conceptual intentions
these photographs say something about me as well as something about
the individuals who arranged them and the culture that produced them
though it would be impossible for viewers to accurately disentangle
those forces This does not in my thinking constitute a problem

The artwork that I am making at this time involves finding discarded
and unwanted papers books and paintings I then turn them into new
works of art I draw and paint on top of them add things to them
resurrect them and give them a new life Like a physician I try to help
and heal them and give them new meanings and purposes Pages is part
of a larger body of work called The Clarence Series I purchased Clarences
school work at an auction I dont know him but I know that he saved
all of his homework from grade school through accounting school I am
a collaborator on a grand scale working with many individuals like
Clarence and other unknown artists I experience a great sense of artistic
freedom in making these pieces I do not judge them I try to preserve the
beauty of unintentional marks and everyday jottings I try to enhance
them and contribute to them and make them into artworks that are not
the product of an individual ego including my own

In my latest series I have taken inspiration from early botanical
illustrations creating abstracted orchid corsages These pieces provide a
lasting current day alternative to commercial floral accessories while also
commenting on the idea of preciousness and rarity Other recent works in
this exhibition represent a continuing investigation of how wearable
objects interact with the surface of the body Using a variety of medical
adhesives and wound-treatment devices the brooches are worn directly
on the skin
Rebecca Strzelec All of my work is created in the digital environment using computer-aided
design When using the computer as a medium one is not just given a
new set of materials or tools but an entirely new method of construction
When the creative process is complete within the CAD environment the
objects are realized tangibly through the use of rapid prototyping Rapid
prototyping involves various computer-controlled machines that translate
CAD data into tangible objects The objects are built layer upon layer in
various plastics and photosensitive resins

M y source of inspiration is the topography and colors in the landscape
I find the forms shapes textures and colors around me fascinating And
I am intrigued that I can transform natural fibers into positive shapes and
sculptural forms
I created Langue du Viable to evoke a strong feeling of self in space
I incorporated floor and wall pieces to create an environment The threeshy
dimensional elements encourage you to relate to the size and scale of the
sculptural forms The wall relief invites you to come in and participate
in defining my fantasy
Georgette L Veeder I make paper from shredded cotton rags that I soak and beat in water
with a Hollander-type beater to hydrate the cellulose and separate the
individual fibers The basic color of my paper is due to the original color
of the cotton rags themselves but I also sometimes add additional pigment
to the pulp For this installation I made the original pieces in clay and
then produced rubber molds from the clay originals I then pressed my
wet pulp into the rubber molds Once dried I airbrushed some areas
with acrylic
My use of recycled cotton rags to make my paper is consistent with my
commitment to the environment I use handmade rag paper because it
is ecologically friendly and historically genuine I am always discovering
new potentials in handmade paper and at the same time I am developing
sensitivity to its limitations It is this balance that defines my creative
expression

W hen I took my first art history course I was fascinated by artists who
represented the sublime the awe-inspiring by reducing it to wall-sized
two dimensionality and hanging it in a museum The fact that I was
seeing the work of Friedrich Church Cole and others as photographic
reproductions in a warm darkened room increased the irony During a
visit to Olana Churchs home on the Hudson I learned that the landshy
scape which he saw from each room in his house was carefully planted
to create the most perfectly framed view possible
C=llristille ~elcll There is an amusing human impulse to reduce everything we encounter
to a more manageable scale and behavior Consider the development of
the frontier First over the horizon we saw a virgin wilderness In order to
get there more easily (always a human concern) we dig up stuff from one
place and put it in another and make a road Then we moved some more
stuff trees rocks more dirt and reassembled it into shelters from which
we can see what is left of the wilderness After we have removed as much
of the uncomfortable and dangerous as we can we replant the whole
place with manageable vegetation give it a name like Stonehenge or Deer
Run and stick some cement animals on the lawn to make it look more
like what The wilderness Over all this activity is that last vestige of the
sublime the sky that threatens storm drought flood blistering heat or
razor sharp cold

Mark Wonsidler Recently the poet Ann Lauterbach described poiesis as the making of
examples The poem she said is on the table between us Its invisible
Like faith or love I only know what it is by what you show me by what
you do In my practice the details of material form are always in relation
to a broader context This model is inescapably metonymic a string of
visible parts or actions point toward an unseen idea In Variant I these
actions include choosing painting or not painting and arranging The
form is a field of permutations old new circular oval square touched
untouched large small Each object is a version of the next asserting and
questioning the criteria which draw it into this constellation The second
Variant is a smaller sequence chosen by size and color Limited rather than
permutational its truncated order demands that each object surrender its
identity to pattern In the third piece Puzzle Box for Emily Dickinson form
is an open-ended sequence The components of the piece remain un-fixed
re-arrangeable Each new composition of the parts changes the last and
suggests a future of unnumbered variations The form is composed
between examples

G ame Boys is an ongoing portrait series of young men engaged in a
familiar pastime - they are playing video games For the past two years
I have been photographing video game players who come to my studio
sit in the dark and play for hours while I quietly watch and shoot The
studio setting lends a theatrical quality to this commonplace activity
Sometimes I watch the game to see a particularly interesting sequence
but mostly I just watch the game players I seek to explore the popular
culture phenomenon of video games by examining the garners who play
them Because my work is rooted in the tradition of portrait photography
I look beyond the hype surrounding video games and focus on the players
themselves Traditionally the belief has been that a portrait could tell us
a great deal about a subject a window into a persons inner character
could be found through facial expressions Although the expressions on
my subjects may appear to be passive the garners in these photographs
are actually performing fast-paced maneuvers and executing split-second
decisions making these portraits of intense concentration

screens the Pennsylvania Department of Transportations (PennDOTs)
storage lot in Meadville PA RBTS depicts the landscape of the French
Creek watershed and local features such as Allegheny Colleges Bentley
Hall Conneaut Lake Park and the Thurston Classic Balloon Race
Celebrating the landscape environment and community of Crawford
County this sculptural relief represents a collective cognitive map of our
community while demonstrating creative reuse
Amara Geffen The project a partnership between Amara Geffen PennDOT and
Allegheny College is a community based collaborative environmental
art installation Since 2002 when the project began annual charettes
involving over 100 collaborators have been held to gather community
input Allegheny College and community interns hired with support from
Allegheny Colleges Center for Economic and Environmental Development
(CEED) then set up shop at the local PennDOT facility spending eleven
weeks in residence each summer Under the direction of artist this team
then works to refine and implement community designs fabricating
between 100-250 feet of the project each summer
To date 730 feet have been produced when completed Read Between the
Signs will reach its full scale of 1200 x 10 feet For additional information

Carl Gustafson In these paintings it is my intention to create a new experience in the
way of looking at life I am searching for ways to visually represent the
extremes humanity is emotionally and physically capable of It is my hope
that the viewer will relate to these images in a similar way while also
drawing their own conclusions and applying them to their own life

The Departure Series presents the 17 largest airports in the United States
Each object is an accurate map of the airports runways taxiways hangars
and terminals hand-cut from paper
Kristofer Harzinski Airports are spaces we all have in common They hold onto us for a
temporary pit stop on a long journey They are curious intermediate
zones only slightly different from one another Each airport vaporously
reflects its location There is slight diversity a distance between here and
home but immediately we recognize most of the elements We know this
place We understand what to do here even though we have never been
here before While there for a few hours or just a few minutes we
momentarily come into contact with thousands of people People who
normally have nothing in common today are briefly joined in a single
location People who we will never see again in our lives are seated next
to us waiting just as we are for the end of the journey
The paper airport is intricate and fragile Please realize your paper airport
will not last forever Yet it may outlast its more permanent relatives

These digital photographs reflect my long-standing interest in material
culture - the things that we produce acquire and arrange for their
usefulness and aesthetic qualities Variously the photographs in this series
depict objects arranged carefully or haphazardly for art students to draw
merchandise offered in stores or store window displays and miscellaneous
collections of items in homes and offices None of these things were
arranged by me or for me but even the more transparent of these
photographs include my subjective response that significantly alters the
apparent intentions of the people who arranged them
Robert Raczka The photographs are meant to have a playfully surreal quality As the
largely - but not entirely - practical intentions of the people who
arranged them intersect with my aesthetic and conceptual intentions
these photographs say something about me as well as something about
the individuals who arranged them and the culture that produced them
though it would be impossible for viewers to accurately disentangle
those forces This does not in my thinking constitute a problem

The artwork that I am making at this time involves finding discarded
and unwanted papers books and paintings I then turn them into new
works of art I draw and paint on top of them add things to them
resurrect them and give them a new life Like a physician I try to help
and heal them and give them new meanings and purposes Pages is part
of a larger body of work called The Clarence Series I purchased Clarences
school work at an auction I dont know him but I know that he saved
all of his homework from grade school through accounting school I am
a collaborator on a grand scale working with many individuals like
Clarence and other unknown artists I experience a great sense of artistic
freedom in making these pieces I do not judge them I try to preserve the
beauty of unintentional marks and everyday jottings I try to enhance
them and contribute to them and make them into artworks that are not
the product of an individual ego including my own

In my latest series I have taken inspiration from early botanical
illustrations creating abstracted orchid corsages These pieces provide a
lasting current day alternative to commercial floral accessories while also
commenting on the idea of preciousness and rarity Other recent works in
this exhibition represent a continuing investigation of how wearable
objects interact with the surface of the body Using a variety of medical
adhesives and wound-treatment devices the brooches are worn directly
on the skin
Rebecca Strzelec All of my work is created in the digital environment using computer-aided
design When using the computer as a medium one is not just given a
new set of materials or tools but an entirely new method of construction
When the creative process is complete within the CAD environment the
objects are realized tangibly through the use of rapid prototyping Rapid
prototyping involves various computer-controlled machines that translate
CAD data into tangible objects The objects are built layer upon layer in
various plastics and photosensitive resins

M y source of inspiration is the topography and colors in the landscape
I find the forms shapes textures and colors around me fascinating And
I am intrigued that I can transform natural fibers into positive shapes and
sculptural forms
I created Langue du Viable to evoke a strong feeling of self in space
I incorporated floor and wall pieces to create an environment The threeshy
dimensional elements encourage you to relate to the size and scale of the
sculptural forms The wall relief invites you to come in and participate
in defining my fantasy
Georgette L Veeder I make paper from shredded cotton rags that I soak and beat in water
with a Hollander-type beater to hydrate the cellulose and separate the
individual fibers The basic color of my paper is due to the original color
of the cotton rags themselves but I also sometimes add additional pigment
to the pulp For this installation I made the original pieces in clay and
then produced rubber molds from the clay originals I then pressed my
wet pulp into the rubber molds Once dried I airbrushed some areas
with acrylic
My use of recycled cotton rags to make my paper is consistent with my
commitment to the environment I use handmade rag paper because it
is ecologically friendly and historically genuine I am always discovering
new potentials in handmade paper and at the same time I am developing
sensitivity to its limitations It is this balance that defines my creative
expression

W hen I took my first art history course I was fascinated by artists who
represented the sublime the awe-inspiring by reducing it to wall-sized
two dimensionality and hanging it in a museum The fact that I was
seeing the work of Friedrich Church Cole and others as photographic
reproductions in a warm darkened room increased the irony During a
visit to Olana Churchs home on the Hudson I learned that the landshy
scape which he saw from each room in his house was carefully planted
to create the most perfectly framed view possible
C=llristille ~elcll There is an amusing human impulse to reduce everything we encounter
to a more manageable scale and behavior Consider the development of
the frontier First over the horizon we saw a virgin wilderness In order to
get there more easily (always a human concern) we dig up stuff from one
place and put it in another and make a road Then we moved some more
stuff trees rocks more dirt and reassembled it into shelters from which
we can see what is left of the wilderness After we have removed as much
of the uncomfortable and dangerous as we can we replant the whole
place with manageable vegetation give it a name like Stonehenge or Deer
Run and stick some cement animals on the lawn to make it look more
like what The wilderness Over all this activity is that last vestige of the
sublime the sky that threatens storm drought flood blistering heat or
razor sharp cold

Mark Wonsidler Recently the poet Ann Lauterbach described poiesis as the making of
examples The poem she said is on the table between us Its invisible
Like faith or love I only know what it is by what you show me by what
you do In my practice the details of material form are always in relation
to a broader context This model is inescapably metonymic a string of
visible parts or actions point toward an unseen idea In Variant I these
actions include choosing painting or not painting and arranging The
form is a field of permutations old new circular oval square touched
untouched large small Each object is a version of the next asserting and
questioning the criteria which draw it into this constellation The second
Variant is a smaller sequence chosen by size and color Limited rather than
permutational its truncated order demands that each object surrender its
identity to pattern In the third piece Puzzle Box for Emily Dickinson form
is an open-ended sequence The components of the piece remain un-fixed
re-arrangeable Each new composition of the parts changes the last and
suggests a future of unnumbered variations The form is composed
between examples

F abricated from recycled road signs Read Between the Signs (RBTS)
screens the Pennsylvania Department of Transportations (PennDOTs)
storage lot in Meadville PA RBTS depicts the landscape of the French
Creek watershed and local features such as Allegheny Colleges Bentley
Hall Conneaut Lake Park and the Thurston Classic Balloon Race
Celebrating the landscape environment and community of Crawford
County this sculptural relief represents a collective cognitive map of our
community while demonstrating creative reuse
Amara Geffen The project a partnership between Amara Geffen PennDOT and
Allegheny College is a community based collaborative environmental
art installation Since 2002 when the project began annual charettes
involving over 100 collaborators have been held to gather community
input Allegheny College and community interns hired with support from
Allegheny Colleges Center for Economic and Environmental Development
(CEED) then set up shop at the local PennDOT facility spending eleven
weeks in residence each summer Under the direction of artist this team
then works to refine and implement community designs fabricating
between 100-250 feet of the project each summer
To date 730 feet have been produced when completed Read Between the
Signs will reach its full scale of 1200 x 10 feet For additional information

Carl Gustafson In these paintings it is my intention to create a new experience in the
way of looking at life I am searching for ways to visually represent the
extremes humanity is emotionally and physically capable of It is my hope
that the viewer will relate to these images in a similar way while also
drawing their own conclusions and applying them to their own life

The Departure Series presents the 17 largest airports in the United States
Each object is an accurate map of the airports runways taxiways hangars
and terminals hand-cut from paper
Kristofer Harzinski Airports are spaces we all have in common They hold onto us for a
temporary pit stop on a long journey They are curious intermediate
zones only slightly different from one another Each airport vaporously
reflects its location There is slight diversity a distance between here and
home but immediately we recognize most of the elements We know this
place We understand what to do here even though we have never been
here before While there for a few hours or just a few minutes we
momentarily come into contact with thousands of people People who
normally have nothing in common today are briefly joined in a single
location People who we will never see again in our lives are seated next
to us waiting just as we are for the end of the journey
The paper airport is intricate and fragile Please realize your paper airport
will not last forever Yet it may outlast its more permanent relatives

These digital photographs reflect my long-standing interest in material
culture - the things that we produce acquire and arrange for their
usefulness and aesthetic qualities Variously the photographs in this series
depict objects arranged carefully or haphazardly for art students to draw
merchandise offered in stores or store window displays and miscellaneous
collections of items in homes and offices None of these things were
arranged by me or for me but even the more transparent of these
photographs include my subjective response that significantly alters the
apparent intentions of the people who arranged them
Robert Raczka The photographs are meant to have a playfully surreal quality As the
largely - but not entirely - practical intentions of the people who
arranged them intersect with my aesthetic and conceptual intentions
these photographs say something about me as well as something about
the individuals who arranged them and the culture that produced them
though it would be impossible for viewers to accurately disentangle
those forces This does not in my thinking constitute a problem

The artwork that I am making at this time involves finding discarded
and unwanted papers books and paintings I then turn them into new
works of art I draw and paint on top of them add things to them
resurrect them and give them a new life Like a physician I try to help
and heal them and give them new meanings and purposes Pages is part
of a larger body of work called The Clarence Series I purchased Clarences
school work at an auction I dont know him but I know that he saved
all of his homework from grade school through accounting school I am
a collaborator on a grand scale working with many individuals like
Clarence and other unknown artists I experience a great sense of artistic
freedom in making these pieces I do not judge them I try to preserve the
beauty of unintentional marks and everyday jottings I try to enhance
them and contribute to them and make them into artworks that are not
the product of an individual ego including my own

In my latest series I have taken inspiration from early botanical
illustrations creating abstracted orchid corsages These pieces provide a
lasting current day alternative to commercial floral accessories while also
commenting on the idea of preciousness and rarity Other recent works in
this exhibition represent a continuing investigation of how wearable
objects interact with the surface of the body Using a variety of medical
adhesives and wound-treatment devices the brooches are worn directly
on the skin
Rebecca Strzelec All of my work is created in the digital environment using computer-aided
design When using the computer as a medium one is not just given a
new set of materials or tools but an entirely new method of construction
When the creative process is complete within the CAD environment the
objects are realized tangibly through the use of rapid prototyping Rapid
prototyping involves various computer-controlled machines that translate
CAD data into tangible objects The objects are built layer upon layer in
various plastics and photosensitive resins

M y source of inspiration is the topography and colors in the landscape
I find the forms shapes textures and colors around me fascinating And
I am intrigued that I can transform natural fibers into positive shapes and
sculptural forms
I created Langue du Viable to evoke a strong feeling of self in space
I incorporated floor and wall pieces to create an environment The threeshy
dimensional elements encourage you to relate to the size and scale of the
sculptural forms The wall relief invites you to come in and participate
in defining my fantasy
Georgette L Veeder I make paper from shredded cotton rags that I soak and beat in water
with a Hollander-type beater to hydrate the cellulose and separate the
individual fibers The basic color of my paper is due to the original color
of the cotton rags themselves but I also sometimes add additional pigment
to the pulp For this installation I made the original pieces in clay and
then produced rubber molds from the clay originals I then pressed my
wet pulp into the rubber molds Once dried I airbrushed some areas
with acrylic
My use of recycled cotton rags to make my paper is consistent with my
commitment to the environment I use handmade rag paper because it
is ecologically friendly and historically genuine I am always discovering
new potentials in handmade paper and at the same time I am developing
sensitivity to its limitations It is this balance that defines my creative
expression

W hen I took my first art history course I was fascinated by artists who
represented the sublime the awe-inspiring by reducing it to wall-sized
two dimensionality and hanging it in a museum The fact that I was
seeing the work of Friedrich Church Cole and others as photographic
reproductions in a warm darkened room increased the irony During a
visit to Olana Churchs home on the Hudson I learned that the landshy
scape which he saw from each room in his house was carefully planted
to create the most perfectly framed view possible
C=llristille ~elcll There is an amusing human impulse to reduce everything we encounter
to a more manageable scale and behavior Consider the development of
the frontier First over the horizon we saw a virgin wilderness In order to
get there more easily (always a human concern) we dig up stuff from one
place and put it in another and make a road Then we moved some more
stuff trees rocks more dirt and reassembled it into shelters from which
we can see what is left of the wilderness After we have removed as much
of the uncomfortable and dangerous as we can we replant the whole
place with manageable vegetation give it a name like Stonehenge or Deer
Run and stick some cement animals on the lawn to make it look more
like what The wilderness Over all this activity is that last vestige of the
sublime the sky that threatens storm drought flood blistering heat or
razor sharp cold

Mark Wonsidler Recently the poet Ann Lauterbach described poiesis as the making of
examples The poem she said is on the table between us Its invisible
Like faith or love I only know what it is by what you show me by what
you do In my practice the details of material form are always in relation
to a broader context This model is inescapably metonymic a string of
visible parts or actions point toward an unseen idea In Variant I these
actions include choosing painting or not painting and arranging The
form is a field of permutations old new circular oval square touched
untouched large small Each object is a version of the next asserting and
questioning the criteria which draw it into this constellation The second
Variant is a smaller sequence chosen by size and color Limited rather than
permutational its truncated order demands that each object surrender its
identity to pattern In the third piece Puzzle Box for Emily Dickinson form
is an open-ended sequence The components of the piece remain un-fixed
re-arrangeable Each new composition of the parts changes the last and
suggests a future of unnumbered variations The form is composed
between examples

Carl Gustafson In these paintings it is my intention to create a new experience in the
way of looking at life I am searching for ways to visually represent the
extremes humanity is emotionally and physically capable of It is my hope
that the viewer will relate to these images in a similar way while also
drawing their own conclusions and applying them to their own life

The Departure Series presents the 17 largest airports in the United States
Each object is an accurate map of the airports runways taxiways hangars
and terminals hand-cut from paper
Kristofer Harzinski Airports are spaces we all have in common They hold onto us for a
temporary pit stop on a long journey They are curious intermediate
zones only slightly different from one another Each airport vaporously
reflects its location There is slight diversity a distance between here and
home but immediately we recognize most of the elements We know this
place We understand what to do here even though we have never been
here before While there for a few hours or just a few minutes we
momentarily come into contact with thousands of people People who
normally have nothing in common today are briefly joined in a single
location People who we will never see again in our lives are seated next
to us waiting just as we are for the end of the journey
The paper airport is intricate and fragile Please realize your paper airport
will not last forever Yet it may outlast its more permanent relatives

These digital photographs reflect my long-standing interest in material
culture - the things that we produce acquire and arrange for their
usefulness and aesthetic qualities Variously the photographs in this series
depict objects arranged carefully or haphazardly for art students to draw
merchandise offered in stores or store window displays and miscellaneous
collections of items in homes and offices None of these things were
arranged by me or for me but even the more transparent of these
photographs include my subjective response that significantly alters the
apparent intentions of the people who arranged them
Robert Raczka The photographs are meant to have a playfully surreal quality As the
largely - but not entirely - practical intentions of the people who
arranged them intersect with my aesthetic and conceptual intentions
these photographs say something about me as well as something about
the individuals who arranged them and the culture that produced them
though it would be impossible for viewers to accurately disentangle
those forces This does not in my thinking constitute a problem

The artwork that I am making at this time involves finding discarded
and unwanted papers books and paintings I then turn them into new
works of art I draw and paint on top of them add things to them
resurrect them and give them a new life Like a physician I try to help
and heal them and give them new meanings and purposes Pages is part
of a larger body of work called The Clarence Series I purchased Clarences
school work at an auction I dont know him but I know that he saved
all of his homework from grade school through accounting school I am
a collaborator on a grand scale working with many individuals like
Clarence and other unknown artists I experience a great sense of artistic
freedom in making these pieces I do not judge them I try to preserve the
beauty of unintentional marks and everyday jottings I try to enhance
them and contribute to them and make them into artworks that are not
the product of an individual ego including my own

In my latest series I have taken inspiration from early botanical
illustrations creating abstracted orchid corsages These pieces provide a
lasting current day alternative to commercial floral accessories while also
commenting on the idea of preciousness and rarity Other recent works in
this exhibition represent a continuing investigation of how wearable
objects interact with the surface of the body Using a variety of medical
adhesives and wound-treatment devices the brooches are worn directly
on the skin
Rebecca Strzelec All of my work is created in the digital environment using computer-aided
design When using the computer as a medium one is not just given a
new set of materials or tools but an entirely new method of construction
When the creative process is complete within the CAD environment the
objects are realized tangibly through the use of rapid prototyping Rapid
prototyping involves various computer-controlled machines that translate
CAD data into tangible objects The objects are built layer upon layer in
various plastics and photosensitive resins

M y source of inspiration is the topography and colors in the landscape
I find the forms shapes textures and colors around me fascinating And
I am intrigued that I can transform natural fibers into positive shapes and
sculptural forms
I created Langue du Viable to evoke a strong feeling of self in space
I incorporated floor and wall pieces to create an environment The threeshy
dimensional elements encourage you to relate to the size and scale of the
sculptural forms The wall relief invites you to come in and participate
in defining my fantasy
Georgette L Veeder I make paper from shredded cotton rags that I soak and beat in water
with a Hollander-type beater to hydrate the cellulose and separate the
individual fibers The basic color of my paper is due to the original color
of the cotton rags themselves but I also sometimes add additional pigment
to the pulp For this installation I made the original pieces in clay and
then produced rubber molds from the clay originals I then pressed my
wet pulp into the rubber molds Once dried I airbrushed some areas
with acrylic
My use of recycled cotton rags to make my paper is consistent with my
commitment to the environment I use handmade rag paper because it
is ecologically friendly and historically genuine I am always discovering
new potentials in handmade paper and at the same time I am developing
sensitivity to its limitations It is this balance that defines my creative
expression

W hen I took my first art history course I was fascinated by artists who
represented the sublime the awe-inspiring by reducing it to wall-sized
two dimensionality and hanging it in a museum The fact that I was
seeing the work of Friedrich Church Cole and others as photographic
reproductions in a warm darkened room increased the irony During a
visit to Olana Churchs home on the Hudson I learned that the landshy
scape which he saw from each room in his house was carefully planted
to create the most perfectly framed view possible
C=llristille ~elcll There is an amusing human impulse to reduce everything we encounter
to a more manageable scale and behavior Consider the development of
the frontier First over the horizon we saw a virgin wilderness In order to
get there more easily (always a human concern) we dig up stuff from one
place and put it in another and make a road Then we moved some more
stuff trees rocks more dirt and reassembled it into shelters from which
we can see what is left of the wilderness After we have removed as much
of the uncomfortable and dangerous as we can we replant the whole
place with manageable vegetation give it a name like Stonehenge or Deer
Run and stick some cement animals on the lawn to make it look more
like what The wilderness Over all this activity is that last vestige of the
sublime the sky that threatens storm drought flood blistering heat or
razor sharp cold

Mark Wonsidler Recently the poet Ann Lauterbach described poiesis as the making of
examples The poem she said is on the table between us Its invisible
Like faith or love I only know what it is by what you show me by what
you do In my practice the details of material form are always in relation
to a broader context This model is inescapably metonymic a string of
visible parts or actions point toward an unseen idea In Variant I these
actions include choosing painting or not painting and arranging The
form is a field of permutations old new circular oval square touched
untouched large small Each object is a version of the next asserting and
questioning the criteria which draw it into this constellation The second
Variant is a smaller sequence chosen by size and color Limited rather than
permutational its truncated order demands that each object surrender its
identity to pattern In the third piece Puzzle Box for Emily Dickinson form
is an open-ended sequence The components of the piece remain un-fixed
re-arrangeable Each new composition of the parts changes the last and
suggests a future of unnumbered variations The form is composed
between examples

The Departure Series presents the 17 largest airports in the United States
Each object is an accurate map of the airports runways taxiways hangars
and terminals hand-cut from paper
Kristofer Harzinski Airports are spaces we all have in common They hold onto us for a
temporary pit stop on a long journey They are curious intermediate
zones only slightly different from one another Each airport vaporously
reflects its location There is slight diversity a distance between here and
home but immediately we recognize most of the elements We know this
place We understand what to do here even though we have never been
here before While there for a few hours or just a few minutes we
momentarily come into contact with thousands of people People who
normally have nothing in common today are briefly joined in a single
location People who we will never see again in our lives are seated next
to us waiting just as we are for the end of the journey
The paper airport is intricate and fragile Please realize your paper airport
will not last forever Yet it may outlast its more permanent relatives

These digital photographs reflect my long-standing interest in material
culture - the things that we produce acquire and arrange for their
usefulness and aesthetic qualities Variously the photographs in this series
depict objects arranged carefully or haphazardly for art students to draw
merchandise offered in stores or store window displays and miscellaneous
collections of items in homes and offices None of these things were
arranged by me or for me but even the more transparent of these
photographs include my subjective response that significantly alters the
apparent intentions of the people who arranged them
Robert Raczka The photographs are meant to have a playfully surreal quality As the
largely - but not entirely - practical intentions of the people who
arranged them intersect with my aesthetic and conceptual intentions
these photographs say something about me as well as something about
the individuals who arranged them and the culture that produced them
though it would be impossible for viewers to accurately disentangle
those forces This does not in my thinking constitute a problem

The artwork that I am making at this time involves finding discarded
and unwanted papers books and paintings I then turn them into new
works of art I draw and paint on top of them add things to them
resurrect them and give them a new life Like a physician I try to help
and heal them and give them new meanings and purposes Pages is part
of a larger body of work called The Clarence Series I purchased Clarences
school work at an auction I dont know him but I know that he saved
all of his homework from grade school through accounting school I am
a collaborator on a grand scale working with many individuals like
Clarence and other unknown artists I experience a great sense of artistic
freedom in making these pieces I do not judge them I try to preserve the
beauty of unintentional marks and everyday jottings I try to enhance
them and contribute to them and make them into artworks that are not
the product of an individual ego including my own

In my latest series I have taken inspiration from early botanical
illustrations creating abstracted orchid corsages These pieces provide a
lasting current day alternative to commercial floral accessories while also
commenting on the idea of preciousness and rarity Other recent works in
this exhibition represent a continuing investigation of how wearable
objects interact with the surface of the body Using a variety of medical
adhesives and wound-treatment devices the brooches are worn directly
on the skin
Rebecca Strzelec All of my work is created in the digital environment using computer-aided
design When using the computer as a medium one is not just given a
new set of materials or tools but an entirely new method of construction
When the creative process is complete within the CAD environment the
objects are realized tangibly through the use of rapid prototyping Rapid
prototyping involves various computer-controlled machines that translate
CAD data into tangible objects The objects are built layer upon layer in
various plastics and photosensitive resins

M y source of inspiration is the topography and colors in the landscape
I find the forms shapes textures and colors around me fascinating And
I am intrigued that I can transform natural fibers into positive shapes and
sculptural forms
I created Langue du Viable to evoke a strong feeling of self in space
I incorporated floor and wall pieces to create an environment The threeshy
dimensional elements encourage you to relate to the size and scale of the
sculptural forms The wall relief invites you to come in and participate
in defining my fantasy
Georgette L Veeder I make paper from shredded cotton rags that I soak and beat in water
with a Hollander-type beater to hydrate the cellulose and separate the
individual fibers The basic color of my paper is due to the original color
of the cotton rags themselves but I also sometimes add additional pigment
to the pulp For this installation I made the original pieces in clay and
then produced rubber molds from the clay originals I then pressed my
wet pulp into the rubber molds Once dried I airbrushed some areas
with acrylic
My use of recycled cotton rags to make my paper is consistent with my
commitment to the environment I use handmade rag paper because it
is ecologically friendly and historically genuine I am always discovering
new potentials in handmade paper and at the same time I am developing
sensitivity to its limitations It is this balance that defines my creative
expression

W hen I took my first art history course I was fascinated by artists who
represented the sublime the awe-inspiring by reducing it to wall-sized
two dimensionality and hanging it in a museum The fact that I was
seeing the work of Friedrich Church Cole and others as photographic
reproductions in a warm darkened room increased the irony During a
visit to Olana Churchs home on the Hudson I learned that the landshy
scape which he saw from each room in his house was carefully planted
to create the most perfectly framed view possible
C=llristille ~elcll There is an amusing human impulse to reduce everything we encounter
to a more manageable scale and behavior Consider the development of
the frontier First over the horizon we saw a virgin wilderness In order to
get there more easily (always a human concern) we dig up stuff from one
place and put it in another and make a road Then we moved some more
stuff trees rocks more dirt and reassembled it into shelters from which
we can see what is left of the wilderness After we have removed as much
of the uncomfortable and dangerous as we can we replant the whole
place with manageable vegetation give it a name like Stonehenge or Deer
Run and stick some cement animals on the lawn to make it look more
like what The wilderness Over all this activity is that last vestige of the
sublime the sky that threatens storm drought flood blistering heat or
razor sharp cold

Mark Wonsidler Recently the poet Ann Lauterbach described poiesis as the making of
examples The poem she said is on the table between us Its invisible
Like faith or love I only know what it is by what you show me by what
you do In my practice the details of material form are always in relation
to a broader context This model is inescapably metonymic a string of
visible parts or actions point toward an unseen idea In Variant I these
actions include choosing painting or not painting and arranging The
form is a field of permutations old new circular oval square touched
untouched large small Each object is a version of the next asserting and
questioning the criteria which draw it into this constellation The second
Variant is a smaller sequence chosen by size and color Limited rather than
permutational its truncated order demands that each object surrender its
identity to pattern In the third piece Puzzle Box for Emily Dickinson form
is an open-ended sequence The components of the piece remain un-fixed
re-arrangeable Each new composition of the parts changes the last and
suggests a future of unnumbered variations The form is composed
between examples

These digital photographs reflect my long-standing interest in material
culture - the things that we produce acquire and arrange for their
usefulness and aesthetic qualities Variously the photographs in this series
depict objects arranged carefully or haphazardly for art students to draw
merchandise offered in stores or store window displays and miscellaneous
collections of items in homes and offices None of these things were
arranged by me or for me but even the more transparent of these
photographs include my subjective response that significantly alters the
apparent intentions of the people who arranged them
Robert Raczka The photographs are meant to have a playfully surreal quality As the
largely - but not entirely - practical intentions of the people who
arranged them intersect with my aesthetic and conceptual intentions
these photographs say something about me as well as something about
the individuals who arranged them and the culture that produced them
though it would be impossible for viewers to accurately disentangle
those forces This does not in my thinking constitute a problem

The artwork that I am making at this time involves finding discarded
and unwanted papers books and paintings I then turn them into new
works of art I draw and paint on top of them add things to them
resurrect them and give them a new life Like a physician I try to help
and heal them and give them new meanings and purposes Pages is part
of a larger body of work called The Clarence Series I purchased Clarences
school work at an auction I dont know him but I know that he saved
all of his homework from grade school through accounting school I am
a collaborator on a grand scale working with many individuals like
Clarence and other unknown artists I experience a great sense of artistic
freedom in making these pieces I do not judge them I try to preserve the
beauty of unintentional marks and everyday jottings I try to enhance
them and contribute to them and make them into artworks that are not
the product of an individual ego including my own

In my latest series I have taken inspiration from early botanical
illustrations creating abstracted orchid corsages These pieces provide a
lasting current day alternative to commercial floral accessories while also
commenting on the idea of preciousness and rarity Other recent works in
this exhibition represent a continuing investigation of how wearable
objects interact with the surface of the body Using a variety of medical
adhesives and wound-treatment devices the brooches are worn directly
on the skin
Rebecca Strzelec All of my work is created in the digital environment using computer-aided
design When using the computer as a medium one is not just given a
new set of materials or tools but an entirely new method of construction
When the creative process is complete within the CAD environment the
objects are realized tangibly through the use of rapid prototyping Rapid
prototyping involves various computer-controlled machines that translate
CAD data into tangible objects The objects are built layer upon layer in
various plastics and photosensitive resins

M y source of inspiration is the topography and colors in the landscape
I find the forms shapes textures and colors around me fascinating And
I am intrigued that I can transform natural fibers into positive shapes and
sculptural forms
I created Langue du Viable to evoke a strong feeling of self in space
I incorporated floor and wall pieces to create an environment The threeshy
dimensional elements encourage you to relate to the size and scale of the
sculptural forms The wall relief invites you to come in and participate
in defining my fantasy
Georgette L Veeder I make paper from shredded cotton rags that I soak and beat in water
with a Hollander-type beater to hydrate the cellulose and separate the
individual fibers The basic color of my paper is due to the original color
of the cotton rags themselves but I also sometimes add additional pigment
to the pulp For this installation I made the original pieces in clay and
then produced rubber molds from the clay originals I then pressed my
wet pulp into the rubber molds Once dried I airbrushed some areas
with acrylic
My use of recycled cotton rags to make my paper is consistent with my
commitment to the environment I use handmade rag paper because it
is ecologically friendly and historically genuine I am always discovering
new potentials in handmade paper and at the same time I am developing
sensitivity to its limitations It is this balance that defines my creative
expression

W hen I took my first art history course I was fascinated by artists who
represented the sublime the awe-inspiring by reducing it to wall-sized
two dimensionality and hanging it in a museum The fact that I was
seeing the work of Friedrich Church Cole and others as photographic
reproductions in a warm darkened room increased the irony During a
visit to Olana Churchs home on the Hudson I learned that the landshy
scape which he saw from each room in his house was carefully planted
to create the most perfectly framed view possible
C=llristille ~elcll There is an amusing human impulse to reduce everything we encounter
to a more manageable scale and behavior Consider the development of
the frontier First over the horizon we saw a virgin wilderness In order to
get there more easily (always a human concern) we dig up stuff from one
place and put it in another and make a road Then we moved some more
stuff trees rocks more dirt and reassembled it into shelters from which
we can see what is left of the wilderness After we have removed as much
of the uncomfortable and dangerous as we can we replant the whole
place with manageable vegetation give it a name like Stonehenge or Deer
Run and stick some cement animals on the lawn to make it look more
like what The wilderness Over all this activity is that last vestige of the
sublime the sky that threatens storm drought flood blistering heat or
razor sharp cold

Mark Wonsidler Recently the poet Ann Lauterbach described poiesis as the making of
examples The poem she said is on the table between us Its invisible
Like faith or love I only know what it is by what you show me by what
you do In my practice the details of material form are always in relation
to a broader context This model is inescapably metonymic a string of
visible parts or actions point toward an unseen idea In Variant I these
actions include choosing painting or not painting and arranging The
form is a field of permutations old new circular oval square touched
untouched large small Each object is a version of the next asserting and
questioning the criteria which draw it into this constellation The second
Variant is a smaller sequence chosen by size and color Limited rather than
permutational its truncated order demands that each object surrender its
identity to pattern In the third piece Puzzle Box for Emily Dickinson form
is an open-ended sequence The components of the piece remain un-fixed
re-arrangeable Each new composition of the parts changes the last and
suggests a future of unnumbered variations The form is composed
between examples

The artwork that I am making at this time involves finding discarded
and unwanted papers books and paintings I then turn them into new
works of art I draw and paint on top of them add things to them
resurrect them and give them a new life Like a physician I try to help
and heal them and give them new meanings and purposes Pages is part
of a larger body of work called The Clarence Series I purchased Clarences
school work at an auction I dont know him but I know that he saved
all of his homework from grade school through accounting school I am
a collaborator on a grand scale working with many individuals like
Clarence and other unknown artists I experience a great sense of artistic
freedom in making these pieces I do not judge them I try to preserve the
beauty of unintentional marks and everyday jottings I try to enhance
them and contribute to them and make them into artworks that are not
the product of an individual ego including my own

lasting current day alternative to commercial floral accessories while also
commenting on the idea of preciousness and rarity Other recent works in
this exhibition represent a continuing investigation of how wearable
objects interact with the surface of the body Using a variety of medical
adhesives and wound-treatment devices the brooches are worn directly
on the skin
Rebecca Strzelec All of my work is created in the digital environment using computer-aided
design When using the computer as a medium one is not just given a
new set of materials or tools but an entirely new method of construction
When the creative process is complete within the CAD environment the
objects are realized tangibly through the use of rapid prototyping Rapid
prototyping involves various computer-controlled machines that translate
CAD data into tangible objects The objects are built layer upon layer in
various plastics and photosensitive resins

M y source of inspiration is the topography and colors in the landscape
I find the forms shapes textures and colors around me fascinating And
I am intrigued that I can transform natural fibers into positive shapes and
sculptural forms
I created Langue du Viable to evoke a strong feeling of self in space
I incorporated floor and wall pieces to create an environment The threeshy
dimensional elements encourage you to relate to the size and scale of the
sculptural forms The wall relief invites you to come in and participate
in defining my fantasy
Georgette L Veeder I make paper from shredded cotton rags that I soak and beat in water
with a Hollander-type beater to hydrate the cellulose and separate the
individual fibers The basic color of my paper is due to the original color
of the cotton rags themselves but I also sometimes add additional pigment
to the pulp For this installation I made the original pieces in clay and
then produced rubber molds from the clay originals I then pressed my
wet pulp into the rubber molds Once dried I airbrushed some areas
with acrylic
My use of recycled cotton rags to make my paper is consistent with my
commitment to the environment I use handmade rag paper because it
is ecologically friendly and historically genuine I am always discovering
new potentials in handmade paper and at the same time I am developing
sensitivity to its limitations It is this balance that defines my creative
expression

W hen I took my first art history course I was fascinated by artists who
represented the sublime the awe-inspiring by reducing it to wall-sized
two dimensionality and hanging it in a museum The fact that I was
seeing the work of Friedrich Church Cole and others as photographic
reproductions in a warm darkened room increased the irony During a
visit to Olana Churchs home on the Hudson I learned that the landshy
scape which he saw from each room in his house was carefully planted
to create the most perfectly framed view possible
C=llristille ~elcll There is an amusing human impulse to reduce everything we encounter
to a more manageable scale and behavior Consider the development of
the frontier First over the horizon we saw a virgin wilderness In order to
get there more easily (always a human concern) we dig up stuff from one
place and put it in another and make a road Then we moved some more
stuff trees rocks more dirt and reassembled it into shelters from which
we can see what is left of the wilderness After we have removed as much
of the uncomfortable and dangerous as we can we replant the whole
place with manageable vegetation give it a name like Stonehenge or Deer
Run and stick some cement animals on the lawn to make it look more
like what The wilderness Over all this activity is that last vestige of the
sublime the sky that threatens storm drought flood blistering heat or
razor sharp cold

Mark Wonsidler Recently the poet Ann Lauterbach described poiesis as the making of
examples The poem she said is on the table between us Its invisible
Like faith or love I only know what it is by what you show me by what
you do In my practice the details of material form are always in relation
to a broader context This model is inescapably metonymic a string of
visible parts or actions point toward an unseen idea In Variant I these
actions include choosing painting or not painting and arranging The
form is a field of permutations old new circular oval square touched
untouched large small Each object is a version of the next asserting and
questioning the criteria which draw it into this constellation The second
Variant is a smaller sequence chosen by size and color Limited rather than
permutational its truncated order demands that each object surrender its
identity to pattern In the third piece Puzzle Box for Emily Dickinson form
is an open-ended sequence The components of the piece remain un-fixed
re-arrangeable Each new composition of the parts changes the last and
suggests a future of unnumbered variations The form is composed
between examples

In my latest series I have taken inspiration from early botanical
illustrations creating abstracted orchid corsages These pieces provide a
lasting current day alternative to commercial floral accessories while also
commenting on the idea of preciousness and rarity Other recent works in
this exhibition represent a continuing investigation of how wearable
objects interact with the surface of the body Using a variety of medical
adhesives and wound-treatment devices the brooches are worn directly
on the skin
Rebecca Strzelec All of my work is created in the digital environment using computer-aided
design When using the computer as a medium one is not just given a
new set of materials or tools but an entirely new method of construction
When the creative process is complete within the CAD environment the
objects are realized tangibly through the use of rapid prototyping Rapid
prototyping involves various computer-controlled machines that translate
CAD data into tangible objects The objects are built layer upon layer in
various plastics and photosensitive resins

M y source of inspiration is the topography and colors in the landscape
I find the forms shapes textures and colors around me fascinating And
I am intrigued that I can transform natural fibers into positive shapes and
sculptural forms
I created Langue du Viable to evoke a strong feeling of self in space
I incorporated floor and wall pieces to create an environment The threeshy
dimensional elements encourage you to relate to the size and scale of the
sculptural forms The wall relief invites you to come in and participate
in defining my fantasy
Georgette L Veeder I make paper from shredded cotton rags that I soak and beat in water
with a Hollander-type beater to hydrate the cellulose and separate the
individual fibers The basic color of my paper is due to the original color
of the cotton rags themselves but I also sometimes add additional pigment
to the pulp For this installation I made the original pieces in clay and
then produced rubber molds from the clay originals I then pressed my
wet pulp into the rubber molds Once dried I airbrushed some areas
with acrylic
My use of recycled cotton rags to make my paper is consistent with my
commitment to the environment I use handmade rag paper because it
is ecologically friendly and historically genuine I am always discovering
new potentials in handmade paper and at the same time I am developing
sensitivity to its limitations It is this balance that defines my creative
expression

W hen I took my first art history course I was fascinated by artists who
represented the sublime the awe-inspiring by reducing it to wall-sized
two dimensionality and hanging it in a museum The fact that I was
seeing the work of Friedrich Church Cole and others as photographic
reproductions in a warm darkened room increased the irony During a
visit to Olana Churchs home on the Hudson I learned that the landshy
scape which he saw from each room in his house was carefully planted
to create the most perfectly framed view possible
C=llristille ~elcll There is an amusing human impulse to reduce everything we encounter
to a more manageable scale and behavior Consider the development of
the frontier First over the horizon we saw a virgin wilderness In order to
get there more easily (always a human concern) we dig up stuff from one
place and put it in another and make a road Then we moved some more
stuff trees rocks more dirt and reassembled it into shelters from which
we can see what is left of the wilderness After we have removed as much
of the uncomfortable and dangerous as we can we replant the whole
place with manageable vegetation give it a name like Stonehenge or Deer
Run and stick some cement animals on the lawn to make it look more
like what The wilderness Over all this activity is that last vestige of the
sublime the sky that threatens storm drought flood blistering heat or
razor sharp cold

Mark Wonsidler Recently the poet Ann Lauterbach described poiesis as the making of
examples The poem she said is on the table between us Its invisible
Like faith or love I only know what it is by what you show me by what
you do In my practice the details of material form are always in relation
to a broader context This model is inescapably metonymic a string of
visible parts or actions point toward an unseen idea In Variant I these
actions include choosing painting or not painting and arranging The
form is a field of permutations old new circular oval square touched
untouched large small Each object is a version of the next asserting and
questioning the criteria which draw it into this constellation The second
Variant is a smaller sequence chosen by size and color Limited rather than
permutational its truncated order demands that each object surrender its
identity to pattern In the third piece Puzzle Box for Emily Dickinson form
is an open-ended sequence The components of the piece remain un-fixed
re-arrangeable Each new composition of the parts changes the last and
suggests a future of unnumbered variations The form is composed
between examples

M y source of inspiration is the topography and colors in the landscape
I find the forms shapes textures and colors around me fascinating And
I am intrigued that I can transform natural fibers into positive shapes and
sculptural forms
I created Langue du Viable to evoke a strong feeling of self in space
I incorporated floor and wall pieces to create an environment The threeshy
dimensional elements encourage you to relate to the size and scale of the
sculptural forms The wall relief invites you to come in and participate
in defining my fantasy
Georgette L Veeder I make paper from shredded cotton rags that I soak and beat in water
with a Hollander-type beater to hydrate the cellulose and separate the
individual fibers The basic color of my paper is due to the original color
of the cotton rags themselves but I also sometimes add additional pigment
to the pulp For this installation I made the original pieces in clay and
then produced rubber molds from the clay originals I then pressed my
wet pulp into the rubber molds Once dried I airbrushed some areas
with acrylic
My use of recycled cotton rags to make my paper is consistent with my
commitment to the environment I use handmade rag paper because it
is ecologically friendly and historically genuine I am always discovering
new potentials in handmade paper and at the same time I am developing
sensitivity to its limitations It is this balance that defines my creative
expression

W hen I took my first art history course I was fascinated by artists who
represented the sublime the awe-inspiring by reducing it to wall-sized
two dimensionality and hanging it in a museum The fact that I was
seeing the work of Friedrich Church Cole and others as photographic
reproductions in a warm darkened room increased the irony During a
visit to Olana Churchs home on the Hudson I learned that the landshy
scape which he saw from each room in his house was carefully planted
to create the most perfectly framed view possible
C=llristille ~elcll There is an amusing human impulse to reduce everything we encounter
to a more manageable scale and behavior Consider the development of
the frontier First over the horizon we saw a virgin wilderness In order to
get there more easily (always a human concern) we dig up stuff from one
place and put it in another and make a road Then we moved some more
stuff trees rocks more dirt and reassembled it into shelters from which
we can see what is left of the wilderness After we have removed as much
of the uncomfortable and dangerous as we can we replant the whole
place with manageable vegetation give it a name like Stonehenge or Deer
Run and stick some cement animals on the lawn to make it look more
like what The wilderness Over all this activity is that last vestige of the
sublime the sky that threatens storm drought flood blistering heat or
razor sharp cold

Mark Wonsidler Recently the poet Ann Lauterbach described poiesis as the making of
examples The poem she said is on the table between us Its invisible
Like faith or love I only know what it is by what you show me by what
you do In my practice the details of material form are always in relation
to a broader context This model is inescapably metonymic a string of
visible parts or actions point toward an unseen idea In Variant I these
actions include choosing painting or not painting and arranging The
form is a field of permutations old new circular oval square touched
untouched large small Each object is a version of the next asserting and
questioning the criteria which draw it into this constellation The second
Variant is a smaller sequence chosen by size and color Limited rather than
permutational its truncated order demands that each object surrender its
identity to pattern In the third piece Puzzle Box for Emily Dickinson form
is an open-ended sequence The components of the piece remain un-fixed
re-arrangeable Each new composition of the parts changes the last and
suggests a future of unnumbered variations The form is composed
between examples

W hen I took my first art history course I was fascinated by artists who
represented the sublime the awe-inspiring by reducing it to wall-sized
two dimensionality and hanging it in a museum The fact that I was
seeing the work of Friedrich Church Cole and others as photographic
reproductions in a warm darkened room increased the irony During a
visit to Olana Churchs home on the Hudson I learned that the landshy
scape which he saw from each room in his house was carefully planted
to create the most perfectly framed view possible
C=llristille ~elcll There is an amusing human impulse to reduce everything we encounter
to a more manageable scale and behavior Consider the development of
the frontier First over the horizon we saw a virgin wilderness In order to
get there more easily (always a human concern) we dig up stuff from one
place and put it in another and make a road Then we moved some more
stuff trees rocks more dirt and reassembled it into shelters from which
we can see what is left of the wilderness After we have removed as much
of the uncomfortable and dangerous as we can we replant the whole
place with manageable vegetation give it a name like Stonehenge or Deer
Run and stick some cement animals on the lawn to make it look more
like what The wilderness Over all this activity is that last vestige of the
sublime the sky that threatens storm drought flood blistering heat or
razor sharp cold

Mark Wonsidler Recently the poet Ann Lauterbach described poiesis as the making of
examples The poem she said is on the table between us Its invisible
Like faith or love I only know what it is by what you show me by what
you do In my practice the details of material form are always in relation
to a broader context This model is inescapably metonymic a string of
visible parts or actions point toward an unseen idea In Variant I these
actions include choosing painting or not painting and arranging The
form is a field of permutations old new circular oval square touched
untouched large small Each object is a version of the next asserting and
questioning the criteria which draw it into this constellation The second
Variant is a smaller sequence chosen by size and color Limited rather than
permutational its truncated order demands that each object surrender its
identity to pattern In the third piece Puzzle Box for Emily Dickinson form
is an open-ended sequence The components of the piece remain un-fixed
re-arrangeable Each new composition of the parts changes the last and
suggests a future of unnumbered variations The form is composed
between examples

Mark Wonsidler Recently the poet Ann Lauterbach described poiesis as the making of
examples The poem she said is on the table between us Its invisible
Like faith or love I only know what it is by what you show me by what
you do In my practice the details of material form are always in relation
to a broader context This model is inescapably metonymic a string of
visible parts or actions point toward an unseen idea In Variant I these
actions include choosing painting or not painting and arranging The
form is a field of permutations old new circular oval square touched
untouched large small Each object is a version of the next asserting and
questioning the criteria which draw it into this constellation The second
Variant is a smaller sequence chosen by size and color Limited rather than
permutational its truncated order demands that each object surrender its
identity to pattern In the third piece Puzzle Box for Emily Dickinson form
is an open-ended sequence The components of the piece remain un-fixed
re-arrangeable Each new composition of the parts changes the last and
suggests a future of unnumbered variations The form is composed
between examples
