“It was in the mid 1990s when Weaver met Donald Camp, a newspaper photographer working on a side project she found interesting. "He used art forms that represented black males, educated black males," Weaver told me over the phone on a cold Monday morning after making herself some coffee. "Photography of black men to counter what he saw in the media." This work of countering media portrayals of black men, called "Dust Shaped Heart," is now an ongoing project. The title of the work was inspired by the Robert Hayden poem, Heart-shape in the dust.”

“Americans are used to seeing beautiful bodies and implied nudity to sell a vast range of products and services. But Hellebrand isn’t selling anything. Instead, she is offering attention, acceptance, and indeed, love, to the one thing we all share: our bodies.”

“Each body is so completely different, and yet, on the inside, some similarities would be rooted at the core. Hellebrand can show how each body and individual has their own story, from how their skin falls, what bumps and divots may have become permanent companions with the body, and most importantly, how each woman has aged and matured from the over-sensualized allure of being young. Hellebrand can capture vulnerable intimacy as each body has unique stories and experiences.”

“Tucked in between lecture halls and libraries, you can find Hiro Sakaguchi’s vibrant painting of a dynamic world in chaos and Amie Potsic’s quietly lush photographs from her Girl in the Garden series. Both artists employ fictive– and magical–elements to evoke the wonder of nature on the brink.”

“Majoring in art at Queens College provided the necessary guidance for Benton to become the prolific sculptor, printmaker, painter, and performance artist she is today. “The first artist to attract my attention was Cézanne, but it wasn’t until I had chosen welded sculpture that I recognized my love for form and attraction to metal as my medium,” says Benton. “I came to know power with the welding torch.”

“The story of this couple is also that of young people who will grow up together in the racist America of the sixties. Donald, who started photography when he was in France, deepened his passion in Vietnam. Not on the front line, but in front line management, where he met Philip Jones-Griffiths, a promising young shoot that Magnum sent to cover the war. Jones-Griffiths, whose shocking photos are very well known, takes Donald under his wing: “He invited me to join him in Saigon. For two days, we took photos, he gave me the virus that will never leave me, to the point that we stayed in contact.”"

Her pictures are snapped in northern California where deadly wildfires have raged and left flat, barren lands in their wake. She compared these photographs to those she had taken of her daughter in the lush forests of the northeast, showcasing a 4-year-old girl among green ferns and trees.”

“The complexity of pieces like the watercolors on woodcut Forest Floor #1 and Tondo #17 (Tide Pool #2) bring to mind the work of Alan Gussow and Emily Brown who found inspiration in similar subjects (including compost piles). Six vertical collages, a couple of them with jagged edges, underscore Woolsey’s sumptuous designs, edging into the decorative in the case of Spring Garden and Ripples.”

Katsiff began making the images for his Nature Morte series when he was squarely in middle age, and truly examining his mortal- ity-and his father's death. The large format platinum prints of artfully arranged bones, feathers, and decayed or decaying animals are striking and beautiful. His photographs are reliquaries built to house the quotidian bones that give us form and function, a new life springing from death.”

“His multimedia installation project, Anahata, a Sanskrit word with multiple meanings including “unhurt” and “unbroken,” invites us into a world populated with beings that waver between the familiar and the fantastic. Dressed in gossamer and spikes, masks and body paint, the denizens of this dark world startle us with their luminescent power as they leap and cavort across a waking dream space. It is easy to suspend your disbelief with this immersive piece.” -Sharon Garbe

"Amie Potsic has two untitled works—topical, socio-political images of mannequins (from her 2000 Seduce Me series)—whose visual juxtapositions and contemporary sensibility come not from the expected digital process. They are historic-process silver gelatin prints on aluminum." -Gail Obenreder

“Working with the expansive industrial architecture of The Delaware Contemporary, Potsic strives to punctuate the height, scale, and proportion of the interior space. With over 250 linear feet of silk, Potsic has designed a monumental site-specific installation involving panels suspended on wires in the atrium plenum. The semi-translucent silk with photographic imagery of silhouetted tree branches weave and dance throughout the space in sweeping, graceful, abstract lines.”
