Iterations | Sophia B. Camporeale

In conversation with the viewer and amidst the growing divide of nations and peoples, Sophia’s work is a reflection of her lived experiences as a Woman, a sexual assault survivor, a staunch advocate of mental health care and accessibility, a member of the Queer community, a Witch, and a deeply connected human of the world. Her prayer and meditation manifests through her work, inserting ideas and questions into the walls and foundations of our greater institutions and communities that we have all come to know and feel connected to; whether positively or negatively by association. Their work seeks to spark an internal dialogue surrounding beliefs and identities that have solidified within each person that engages with her work.

The Visions of Zab: From the Inner-Verse to the Cosmic Horizon | Zabulus

There is humor buried in tragedy, there is beauty within pain, and light at the end of the darkness.

Art is the freedom to manipulate reality, and what Zabulus creates is a reflection of their conflict with existence. Zabulus go out and seek beauty every day, and this provides them with a sense of meaning. Using bright colors and concentrated line work to force the eyes open so you may witness the intensity of existence. There’s a lot of narrative storytelling left up to the viewer. Zabulus’ purpose is to spark a conversation with yourself.

Relics of Liota | Lyric Marie Johnson

As a relatively young culture, Black Americans possess rich stories, phrases, traditions, and cultural beliefs, yet lack ancient mythological tales about monsters and deities. Lyric’s work asks, “What could it look like to create a myth inspired by Black American culture?” In response, they developed a body of work that functions not only as a queer mythology, but also as an African American one. Through the creation of artifacts, Lyric depicts the lives, rituals, and histories of these fabricated ancestral figures. As a storyteller and worldbuilder, they take on the role of a mythologist, crafting objects, vessels, and imagery that depict the foundational tales of the Liota culture.

Searching for Sunlight | Sam Glevick

Searching for Sunlight is a collection of paintings inspired by our natural attraction to light, both physically and emotionally. 

We pull over to photograph a sunset. We notice when the sun hits the side of a building just right. We linger outside a little longer when summer fireflies start to appear. Even our pets seem to know exactly where the warm patch of sunlight is. 

This body of work grew out of those moments. Some paintings capture the flow of dusk, others the first light of morning. Some are expansive landscapes, while others are small snapshots of passing experiences. Together, these paintings are an attempt to hold onto those episodes that often come and go with the sun. The search that never truly ends.

READING ROOM

All I know is a door into the dark | Clare Brunet 

Irish mythology has a long and layered history, with first the Catholic Church and then the British overwriting and retelling Irish stories to suit their own purposes. The fragments that remain are a fascinating patchwork of strange tales that often defy easy categorisation, full of shape-changing gods, magical rulers, and devious spirits. Many of the powerful women in these stories were diminished in subsequent religious or British versions to reflect the patriarchal culture and anti-Irish sentiments over centuries of invasions. These illustrations represent an exploration of the tangled web of lore that remains with us.
