"Home Page," a multi-media installation of artist books, collage, sculpture, animation & slide projections.

Home Page is a multi-media exhibit by collaborators Kayce Bayer and Kristin Miller Hopkins. This project explores individual and relational identity through geographic place and the changing role of the domestic and conceptual home. Mapping her way through a marriage with blueprints for a fictional home, Kristin's work draws connections between her endless hat-juggling of life, physical, and personal spaces. Kayce animates small drawings, cardboard dioramas, and simple automata, crafting a virtual environment loosely based on her past homes and their respective weather systems.

Rainbow: after Michael Craig-Martin's An Oak Tree, Installation

Rainbow: after Michael Craig-Martin's An Oak Tree is an installation of glasses filled with rainbow-colored water on a shelf. Through the show, the water evaporates, leaving colored traces behind, drawing rings on the surface of glasses. Employing An Oak Tree (1973) by Michael Craig-Martin, as the subtitle of the installation, Shin questions the overgrown ideology and overstretched intellectualism in contemporary art.

Walking (Ink) Meditation, Part VIII: Prey/Grieving, Sumi ink, Watercolor, and Prints.

Eliet's exhibition centers around a work titled Walking (Ink) Meditation, Part VIII: Prey/Grieving, which is part of a body of work that has been unfolding over more than a decade. The Meditations include scroll paintings, accordion-fold books and studies in ink and watercolor. Ink painting encourages spontaneity of expression, but is also unforgiving. Its character allows for no second thoughts or hesitations, but is also capable of revealing images, attitudes or memories buried in the subconscious. The different structures that Eliet uses, such as accordion books, offer narrative frameworks in which these unruly matters can be contained, allowing images and ideas to unfold over time.
