Hil AndersonWebsite Erector Square (October 12 -1 3)I am a storyteller because I believe thatthe road to knowledge is paved withfabulous tales. I enjoy telling stories thatchallenge the common expectations ofnarrative. My hope is that where I amsuccessful you will find stories visible inmy photographs.

Website Erector Square (October 12 -1 3)Sideways & Askew is where paper andclay collide to make artful illumination.It's a collaboration between Liz Pagano, aNew Haven print and mixed-mediaartist, and Hayne Bayless, a potter inIvoryton, CT. The two mull over adesign, then construct the lampshadeusing light steel rods. Liz appliesencaustic and ink to paper and attachesthe shade.

Erector Square (October 12 -13)In recent collages I have spliced paintedelements into rearranged interiors culledfrom vintage Better Homes andGardens magazines. The abstractgestures of Expressionism are suggested

within pristine spaces - Maverickfurniture, incongruous curtains, andcurtains of paint, in turn occupy and

deny the picture-space.

Lani AsuncionWebsite Erector Square (October 12 -1 3)Place and identity becomes a startingpoint of reference within my work.Translated through the medium of

video,I use cinematic approaches andpoetic imagery to produce an abstract

visual story. Throughout each videothere is a reflection of my multicultural

background in conjunction with tradition,the desire of integration, and community.

Laurie S. AuthWebsite Erector Square (October 12 -13)I am excited to be part of the entire CTcommunity this year.

Caryn AzoffWebsite Erector Square (October 12 -1 3)I explore the physicality of the figure.Using texture, color, mixed mediacollage, thread and various marks, I amlooking at gender, age, and physicalconditions through a lens that does notoffer the subject any privacy.

Meg BloomWebsite Erector Square (October 12 -1 3)Finding beauty in the imperfect orimpermanent and engaging with theprocess of transience form the basis ofmy two and three dimensional work. Iam guided by the mix of planning andchance afforded by the materials I use.For several years I have worked with

Vito BonannoWebsite Erector Square (October 12 -1 3)

Vito Bonanno is primarily a self-taughtaccomplished and nationally recognizedNew Haven based artist, who has found a

way to tap into the daily emotional upsand downs of his neuro-diversity, takingthe personal struggle of his innermostthoughts, feelings and fears and placingthem into bold and unedited art

statements.

Rita BriegerWebsite Erector Square (October 12 -13)"Never let reality get in the way ofimagination" sums up my approach tomy art work.

Jay BrightWebsite

Erector Square (October 12 -1 3)Andre Derain's & David Hockney's use ofvivid color to render the landscapeinspired me to go to East Rock to look

with new eyes. I painted spring's primalenergy exploding from the subtle winterlandscape-hints of blue and rose in baretree bark, and outrageous yellowforsythia exploding in improbable placeson the rock face.

Colin BurkeWebsite Erector Square (October 12 -13)I research, write and teach the history ofphotography, the origin of optics in artand the processes and techniques thatled to contemporary photography.

Claudia CronWebsite Erector Square (October 12 -13)Memories of hot, hazy sunshine and hardmetallic surfaces and the sharp angles ofplaygrounds and carnivals permeate this

body of work. Imagery reminiscent oflong ago escapes from the summer heatare achieved using photo lithography andmixed media.

Phyllis CrowleyWebsite Erector Square (October 12 -1 3)My work addresses issues of perceptionand point of view. Changes in position,format, scale, & focusing create theillusion of space in very different ways.Multiple images and non-conventionalformats create new relationships whichenhance the emotional experience.

Jan CunninghamErector Square (October 12 -13)The paintings, drawings, andphotographs that make up my practiceinform each other. The materiality ofcolor and light, and scale what it takesto traverse the great distance betweentwo points in close proximity to oneanother - are continuing preoccupations.

Jennifer DaviesWebsite

Erector Square (October 12 -1 3)A papermaker working with heavyfibers, I achieve objects that are almostsculptural by folding, twisting, and

dyeing paper. I also make delicate,translucent sheets of Japanese fiber,called kozo, that I process myself. WhenI weave string onto frames, dip theminto baths of this fiber, they dry intocrisp lacy webs I hang or sew together.

Cathy FarrellWebsite Erector Square (October 12 -13)I make art for fun and self-expression. I

work primarily with abstract collage,printmaking and painting, most recently

small works on paper. I find the order-from-chaos nature of collage, and thefree-form, unfettered nature ofabstraction both challenging andsatisfying.

Kathryn Frund

Website Erector Square (October 12 -13)The work explores the themes ofstewardship and damage, fluidity andcontrol. Through the layering of paintand the reconfiguration of objects andmaterials, the work seeks to openpathways and find restoration and

balance. The paintings become a materialand spiritual exploration into the natureof our presence in the landscape.

Francine FunkeWebsite Erector Square (October 12 -13)My creative process leads me on anever-ending journey of artisticdiscovery. Not being content withstraight forward traditional handling ofmaterials, I am forever seeking newtechniques and media to express my

strength and confidence of my subjects. Istrive to achieve as close a resemblanceto as I can, while adding creative nuancesto all my work, so the viewer will knowknow they are looking at paintings. Mygoal is to draw the viewers in, evokeemotion, inspire imagination, andultimately tell a story.

Susan HigginsWebsite Erector Square (October 12 -13)My work explores the American cultural

landscape captured in passing, asselected moments of seeing; and asviewed in public settings. I aim tocapture the inherent beauty, perplexityand lure of cultural forms; make themundane felt; and question the personaland cultural identity that is constructed,preserved, bartered or abandoned.

Michael HorsemanErector Square (October 12 -1 3)The world we know and inhabit, as wellas the universe beyond, is filled withmany wonderful shapes, forms andfigures, some man/woman-made, others

Kristina Kuester-WittWebsite Erector Square (October 12 -1 3)One theme has preoccupied me and beenapparent in my work since the mid1990`s when I lived and studied inGermany and Holland, and that is duality- in every aspect of human life. My workevolves around the human figure andcondition. Aside from painting in oil I alsoenjoy working as a printmaker.

Janet LageWebsite Erector Square (October 12 -13)I approach each piece with anunderstanding of a physical image andallow internal forces of perception andchance to collide.

Erector Square (October 12 -1 3)Last year at a flea market I found an oldsuitcase with a series of letters from the1960's from a daughter to her mother.Since then I've realised that mypaintings are v ery similar to theseletters- commentary on ideas, activities,the world around me- and mostimportantly, a vehicle inviting the v iewerto a dialogue.

I work primarily on the wheel, although Ienjoy some handbuilding and sculpturaldetail on pottery as well. I love what isround, what swirls, like music. My worktends to be functional, because I wantmy objects to be useful as well as

David LivingstonWebsite Erector Square (October 12 -13)I hand-sew large corporeal objects thatoccupy physical space, weigh a lot,awkwardly droop to the ground, andinteract with the public. These large

sculptures are passive forms that cannotstand up on their own, relying on me foranimation. I see my sculptures as man-made extensions of my body, andphysical manifestations of psychologicalhangups.

Rebecca LowryWebsite

Erector Square (October 12 -1 3)Alternative Space (October 26-27)Rebecca combines elements of paintingand woodcarving to create heavilytextured wall pieces that ride the line

between painting and sculpture. Herwork is often thought to be evocative oftextiles or rudimentary maps. Rebeccas

works on paper are made from pastelrubbings of her woodcarvings, to whichshe then applies paint and othermarkings.

history.

Christian MillerErector Square (October 12 -1 3)The task of the artist is paradoxical bynature. He strives to create all at oncethe essence of an emotional moment to

be recreated endlessly in the viewer'smind. In this sense the artist is definingthe moment of the present to be

recreated infinitely as far as the mindcan imagine.

Denise MillerErector Square (October 12 -13)

We are an expression of our inner selves.What we choose to wear tells the worldwho we are. Just as our thoughts shapeour destiny, our physical image shapesour thoughts. In my art I have combined

In my oil paintings, I strive to create a"zen-like" atmosphere. T he colors arecalming; the subjects have room to

breathe. Come visit me at ErectorSquare to see my original still life,

figurative and landscape oil paintings.

Margot NimiroskiWebsite Erector Square (October 12 -13)I love the water and have lived on theBranford Harbor for the past 18 years...it

seemed natural to start paintingseascapes. I have enjoyed painting largeseascapes for the past 2 years and havecontinued to develop a process of

layering paint to get the desired imagesof wave action and cloudy skies.

Liz PaganoWebsite Erector Square (October 12 -1 3)Im always searching for unexpectedpossibilities. My work magnifiesmoments, capturing movements,sometimes reactions or fusions. The partI cant control keeps mechasing/searching/moving. My process

is about exploring interactions of chanceand control, of coincidence and intent

Jean PerkinsErector Square (October 12 -13)My work is informed by the science ofhow ones perceptions are formed whichare most often highly prescriptive. It is

concerned with discovering newrelationships amongst the familiar usingtraditional photographic processcombined with digital print processes.

Peter RamonWebsite Erector Square (October 12 -1 3)My paintings are abstract, based onnature, comprised of memory, sideways

glances, fleeting thoughts...and unrelatedmeanderings. I use the shapes, forms,the light and shadows in nature as astarting point. Often it is some smallobject, event or passing observation that

becomes the focus of the work.

Joseph SaccioWebsite Erector Square (October 12 -13). The majority of my work uses naturalmaterials, primarily wood, and found

objects, joined together in a primitivisticmanner, expressing personal feelingsassociated with myth and ritual, loss andrebirth. . I focus on leading the viewerthrough the transformative process,producing forms which are abstract butusually biomorphic.

Annie SailerWebsite Erector Square (October 12 -1 3)I am a painter, a modern

dancer/choreographer, and director ofAnnie Sailer Dance Company. The intentof my work is to evoke dream-likenarratives through spatially-orientedforms. My main influences are AbstractExpressionism and Minimalism. My

work is process-oriented and mypaintings and choreography inform each

other.

Joanna SchiffWebsite Erector Square (October 12 -13)Play is a very important part of my

work, playing with colors and shapes tocreate depth and an engaging aesthetic. I

like to draw in viewers with colorcombinations that are strange andsurprising like overly bright pinks andgreens with muted earth tones. Art hasalways been an important part of my life,I don't know what I'd do without it!

what is inside the form, functionality isalso kept in mind during the creativeprocess.

Lisa ShoglowErector Square (October 12 -13)My paintings, whether encaustic,

watercolor, acrylic, digital orphotographic, are attempts to embodyongoing interior dialogues reflectingpsychological states of mind andexperience. Translucent, layered,obscured, embedded, scarred, blurred,they explore personal themes andshadows that linger as present forces.

Erector Square (October 12 -1 3)I am a new artist, I only started paintingrecently. I thought it would be a goodexperience for me to participate in OpenStudios and meet other artists.

Gordon SkinnerWebsite Erector Square (October 12 -13)The current state of the world appears to

be in more chaos than it is in order. Welive in a time where domestic violence,corporate and government corruptionare recurring. I use my brush as a mirrorto show the true often savage nature of

humanity. The colors in my workrepresent hope for a brighter future. Ifight back by painting.

Sigrid SmithWebsite

Erector Square (October 12 -1 3)I work exclusively in transparent

watercolor sometimes supplementedwith India ink. My work ranges fromnatural representational pieces tounframed and varnished 3-D abstracts

which are best viewed using Chroma-Depth 3-D glasses. I paint often with myfriend and mentor Lora-Lee Bell and

with Joyce Greenfield, also showing inthis same gallery .

Kathleen SmitsWebsite Erector Square (October 12 -13)I create realistic oil paintings and I havea unique genre of abstract digital art,created through a process of

experimentation with photography anddigital manipulation. Paintings express

my need for serenity and color. Myabstracts explore color with shape andform out of context, creating images toevoke curiosity, questions, andmindfulness.

Kevin StevensWebsite Erector Square (October 12 -1 3)Right now my focus is on painting. I am

working in mixed medium, of acrylic,pastel, charcoal and whatever stuff Ihave lying around my studio. My groundis composed of plywood with shoji paperand, or canvass pasted on to it. My workdeals mainly with color, texture,transparent layers and space. It is reallyall about the process.

Regina ThomasWebsite

Erector Square (October 12 -13)My work is an ongoing process involvingdifferent genres from representational tothe abstract. What motivates me ispushing the envelope, taking risks inthese multi-layered collages. I loveinjecting visuals and textures that

beckon my viewers to get close.

Robert ThomasWebsite Erector Square (October 12 -1 3)

As an engineer, I enjoy the camerasability to accurately capture the moment

and reflect the vision of what I see. Ihave learned not just to document but toapply the creative aspects of compositionand the freedom offered with digitalimage processing. Through this I work tocreate a more engaging representation of

my field of view.

Eliza ValkErector Square (October 12 -13)Cultural and infrastructural conjunctions

with ecological, hydrological andatmospheric processes, the v isceral

details of encounterthe togglingbetween macro and micro eventmotivates my work. I look for theuncanny and improvised. Startled fromassumption and consumption, we

become pliant for playing, devising and

understanding.

Karissa Van TasselWebsite Erector Square (October 12 -1 3)I stand in awe of the world around me.There is so much beauty and it is sooften overlooked. My work focuses onfinding simple beauty in the world andcapturing it, undisturbed, in it's naturalenvironment- from the streets of Paristo the fields of China, the mountains ofthe Montana to the beaches of Sanibel.

Katya VetrovWebsite Erector Square (October 12 -13)Katya is focused on nature and theenvironment. Her prints represent lifeand growth with a focus on New Haven'seco urban community as well asConnecticut farms. These images appearon block printed rice paper, handsilkscreened notecards and t-shirts.

Joseph VumbacoWebsite Erector Square (October 12 -1 3)This series is a modern version of thegame CLUE. It's ironic, as kids we play agame about a murder mystery. I addedsex appeal to the characters, creating anadult version to the mature game. I

wanted the paintings to have a sense ofrealism. The photographs are created bycontrolled sets,lighting,props and models.

With this,I give you SCANDAL.

Mark WilliamsWebsite Erector Square (October 12 -13)

The earliest known drawings over30,000 years old are found in caves.

Humans have been drawn to caves for avery long time, and I am no exception.During the past twelve years, I have

visited more than 70 caves where I havetaken video and photographicdocumentation. This research hasinspired paintings, drawings, prints, and

works on paper.

Don WunderleeWebsite Erector Square (October 12 -13)

Although my recent paintings containthemes of time and erosion, the effects of

wear and tear, there is also a sense ofoptimism in them. The optimism comesfrom the regenerative power of thecreative process. In the face ofuncertainty comes the new and thats acomforting feeling.

As humans we are constantly trying tomake sense of the world around us. Our

visual perceptual process has alwaysplayed with natural forms and their

ability to create illusions. These drawingsof nature and animal hybrids arouse

your own visual perception.
