Gallery One – Andrea Carlson, Minneapolis, MN – “By citing objects from museum collections in my artwork, I appropriate them into imagined, parallel landscapes. The museum is a landscape in its own right, fostering and assimilating objects foreign to itself and incorporating them into its own body and narrative. I’m interested in making a fantasy space within this context, but also apart from it.”

I’m interested in making a fantasy space within this context, but also apart from it.”
Gallery Two – Pauly Cudd, River Falls, WI – “Glassblowing is my life’s passion. I am attracted to the mystical qualities of fluid glass. It is truly challenging to manipulate and persuade a media that you can’t touch with your hands … I love the emotions that come over me while coaxing the hot glass and its color possibilities into a unique, beautiful
piece of art.”
Gallery Two – Chris Cinque, Minneapolis, MN – “I am as moved by the simplicity and desire inherent in a straight line as I am by the chaos and spontaneity of swirls and slashes. These elements interconnect, creating tension between the calm of measured lines and the unruliness of uninhibited gestures.”
Gallery Three – Chholing Taha, Anoka, MN – “I use wonderment as a mechanism to show the things we live with every day in a new perspective, like the green hills you drive by or the laundry hanging on the line. When you are surrounded by my polymer clay sculptures, it is as if you are seeing the world through a patterned lens where the mundane is much more precious and mysterious.”

Riverview Gallery – Joan G. Cox, Saint Paul, MN – “Rarely do I start a piece with a visual goal. Painting, for me, is an intuitive process involving emotion, imagination, judgment, and serendipitous chance, each playing a role on a journey of discovery. Collage, with the varying layers and textures, reflect the complexity of our world and the teeming richness of life.”
Atrium Gallery – Glynnis Lessing, Northfield, MN – “I enjoy the constraint of functionality which challenges and inspires me. I endeavor to make forms that are balanced and beautiful but are not constructed exclusively to show off the surface. They are shaped for inherent harmony and pleasing lines; the form inspires the surface and the surface enhances the form.”
