MIRANDA F. MELLIS: Can you talk about how you approach writing vis-à-vis form and content?

THALIA FIELD: At the heart of the question of form and content is process, how an artist uses “awareness” to destroy dull and conventional habits of language and worldview. Both Stein and Cage innovatively used awareness practice to open up new areas of form and theatricality.

Christina Bothwell
"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 media can; in addition, it offers an inner space and transmits light.":

"The art of our time is noisy with appeals for silence.

A coquettish, even cheerful nihilism. One recognizes the imperative of silence, but goes on speaking anyway. Discovering that one has nothing to say, one seeks a way to say that."

Alexa Meade is a 23-year-old artist based in the Washington, DC area:






"The reverse trompe l’oeil series is Alexa Meade’s spin on reality. Alexa has invented a painting technique that makes 3 dimensional space look flat, blurring the lines between illusion and reality.

Typically a painting is an artist's interpretation of the subject painted onto another surface. In Alexa's paintings, she creates her artistic interpretation of the subject directly on top of the subject itself. Essentially, her art imitates life - on top of life.

By wrapping her subject in a mask of paint, she skews the way that the core of the subject is perceived."

"Black listened, another curved knife. Bent level and curved knife. Listened in seconds, turned even now, even done. Another now, over there, her, even rots."

Ukrainian artist Mark Khaisman:

Erik Minter "works with a broad range of media, investigating the play of the synthetic & human and its interface with the natural world. Plant and insect structures fuse with vehicles from an unknown (and yet somehow nostalgic) future creating a hybrid new reality...His specialty is the liminal space between the conscious and the unconscious, the real and the unreal, the present and the future."

Artist’s statement
Galen Cheney

"People ask me, “What inspires you?” Honestly, the concept of inspiration is foreign to me, as it implies a force outside oneself, compelling a person to create. I, on the other hand, am so internally driven to paint, that inspiration is really beside the point. It’s about doing the work."
