barnaby smith
queen cow
Materials:
Recordings of a stuck vinyl record, a child’s toy, vocal experiments, sticks rubbing together, and various digital effects.
jacq greyja
the wreck of the institution is complete
Materials:
Scanned newspaper headline regarding the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and the destruction of the Agnews Asylum, scanned family photos, and scans of the inside panel of a personal journal of significance.
monica ong
her hypothesis
Materials:
Poetry collage with family photo with an altered illustration, “Herschel’s View of the Form of the Universe,” from Simon Newcomb. Popular Astronomy. Harper & Brothers, Publishers: 1878, pp. 503.
cory peeke

separate beds
up and out
Materials:
Adhesive tapes of many varieties, found images, charcoal and mixed media on Dura-lar.
suzanne silver
three vinyl collages
Materials:
Mixed media (spray paint, latex enamel, china marker, felt-tipped pens, monofilament) on vinyl
Notes to Vinyl Collages:
I have been sewing layers of clear and pigmented vinyl using anagrams, palindromes, and sentence diagrams as compositional elements. I often collage both sides of the vinyl so that the work reads recto/verso like pages in a book. The collaged fragments are stitched together with monofilament; knots and unruly skeins join the layered wordings. The vinyl works can be positioned in multiple ways - suspended from the ceiling, attached to a wall, or placed on a desktop. The viewer perceives the relationship between physical materials and words through various directions, degrees, and orders of decoding. These variables create unexpected meanings for both artist and viewer/reader alike.
don calva
soundscapes 2 – 4
Notes:
Sourced from two separate archives, the images come from the New York Public Library image archive and the sounds from the BBC sound archive. Multiple layers of sound design were used to create the effect of living images.
marcin hanuszkiewicz
cheat codes and hyphae
Materials:
Variously sourced cut-outs pasted on black paper, 8.27 x 11.69 inches.
miriam saperstein
decomposition hat
Materials:
Dried flowers and leaves, dried paint, found dead bugs from artists’ parents' garage, original comic on wax paper, metal strainer.
Notes:
Wear it when you’re having trouble sleeping for thinking of the vastness of the world or obsessing over small transgressions—it’s all going to decompose somehow.
