Title: Beth Grabowski

URL: http://www.bethgrabowski.com/

Description: My approach to making typically arises from a seed of an idea, but most of the details and understanding of the concepts are worked out in the process of making. Ideas are worked out across a series, and often the end of one body of work carries the seeds for the next. My training as a printmaker definitely influences my thought process and structures for my work–I often think in layered systems.

Title: Jina Valentine

URL: http://www.jinavalentine.com/

Description: Jina Valentine is an artist, writer, mother, and professor based in Durham, North Carolina. Valentine’s work at once invites and defies close reading. Using text as both content and form, she manipulates and obscures the message through cuts, overlays, and acidic ink materials that literally devour the paper on which it’s printed. She entices viewers to contemplate the intricacies of her lace-like drawings and collages, which seem to promise meaning in the accumulation of visual mark-making and clues, but often leaves them yearning for what they can’t see in the spaces and voids.

Title: Senga Nengudi

URL: http://www.sengasenga.com/

Description: Interested in the visual arts, dance, body mechanics and matters of the spirit from an early age these elements still play themselves out in ever changing ways in her art. She has always used a variety of natural (sand, dirt, rocks, seed pods) and unconventional (panty hose, found objects, masking tape) materials to fashion her works, utilizing these materials as a jazz musician utilizes notes and sounds to improvise a composition. The thrust of her art is to share common experiences in abstractions that hit the senses and center, often welcoming the viewer to become a participant.
