"These photographs, which are part of a larger series, respond to what scientists call the 'erosion of sleep.' They were shot during periods of insomnia where I was hyper-focused on light and textures. Though based on my experiences, I hope these photographs resonate with others who find themselves restless in a world that never powers down."

JOSEPH CARTER is a self-taught artist from Omaha, Nebraska and is now based in Chicago, Illinois. He documents images of the mundane and hopes to evoke feelings of nostalgia and connectedness in the viewer.

He also challenges his dichotomous thinking patterns with paradoxical thinking, with the hope of seeing things from multiple perspectives. These concepts are reflected in his black-and-white images, which adhere to strict technical principles and archival materials, and in his conscious decisions of when to break those traditional rules. Carter's work has been exhibited internationally in galleries including: Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts (Omaha, NE), Kunstmuseum Bonn (Bonn, DE), and 5/R Hall & Gallery (Nagoya, JP).

EVAN COLBERT is an artist and printmaker in Longmont, Colorado, who has been producing art since the 1990s.
"In my recent prints I attempt to create satisfying abstract visual compositions. Using a process I consider to be a bit like sketching, I produce monotypes by stacking layers of colors, patterns, forms, and arrays of circles or other shapes onto paper. I employ a variety of ink application techniques, mostly using a combination of plexiglass plates, photolithographic plates, and actual found objects such as perforated metal sheets, bubble pack, or corrugated cardboard. I use lithographic plates to add patterns, photocopies of objects, and other found imagery. I use my favorites, or elements from them, as inspiration for my lithographs, of which a dozen have been published in editions of twenty by Shark's Ink in Lyons Colorado. My prints can be found in various collections around the country."

STEPHEN DINSMORE is a Nebraska-born artist whose paintings display the importance of representational art in expressing a visual poetry. His work can be found in public and private collections both nationally and internationally. "When you get it right, a painting has something of the sublime. A vitality that is a marriage of color and light, mystery and joy, longing and beauty."
Dinsmore paints from studios in Nebraska, Maine and Florida. "For me, painting means being always on the lookout for an image that excites. The creamy light of late afternoon on the landscape; the abstract beauty of marks on the side of a train car; new snow that reshapes all it touches; an interior filled with color and reverie; the riveting beauty of a vase of flowers; a fly fisherman in shadow; a disregarded corner of town; a found image. I try to make a painting that has something of the magic and mystery of the thing; the alchemy; the thing that excites."

In 2024, they graduated from Metropolitan Community College (Omaha) with an Associates in Applied Sciences. That summer, Dunn featured as the Artist-in-Residence for the Cedar Point Biological Station (Ogallala, NE) and The Homestead National Historic Park (Beatrice, NE).

DAVID ALLEN BURNS and AUSTIN YOUNG / FALLEN FRUIT is an art project that began in Los Angeles in 2004 by creating maps of public fruit: the fruit trees growing on or over public property. The work of Fallen Fruit includes photographic portraits, experimental documentary videos, and site-specific installation artworks. Using fruit (and public spaces and public archives) as a material for interrogating the familiar, Fallen Fruit investigates interstitial urban spaces, bodies of knowledge, and new forms of citizenship. From protests to proposals for utopian shared spaces, Fallen Fruit's work aims to reconfigure the relationship of sharing and explore understandings of what is considered both-public and private. From their work, the artists have learned that "fruit" is symbolic and that it can be many things; it's a subject and an object at the same time it is aesthetic. Much of the work they create is linked to ideas of place and generational knowledge, and it echoes a sense of connectedness with something very primal-our capacity to share the world with others.
Fallen Fruit was originally conceived by David Burns, Matias Viegener, and Austin Young. Since 2013, Burns and Young have continued the collaborative work.
Fallen Fruit has been recently featured in 15 Los Angeles Artists to Watch, ARTnews (cover); Artforum (Critic's Pick), The New York Times ("Tasty and Subversive Too" and "Food Matters"), Conde Nast Traveler ("18 Best Shows in London"), Los Angeles Confidential (cover and feature, "How Fallen Fruit is Changing the Art World & Life in LA"). Their work has been featured in The Idea of the West by Doug Aitken and numerous other publications, including The Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan, Come Together: The Rise of Cooperative Art and Design by Francesco Spampinato (Princeton Architectural Press), as well as numerous broadcast radio, TV, video, and blog venues.

ALEC PAUL is an artist currently based out of Omaha, Nebraska but he has had many influences from living in many states around the country. Paul has had his hands on many art making materials and enjoys multimedia projects. Change, and adjustment to it, is a big factor in his inspration for making art. When making sculptures, turning something mundane or an everyday material deemed useless into a visually stimulating, intriguing, or beautiful object is where Paul finds joy. For example, when Paul is working his day job, running his own construction business, most pieces of wood that would normally get thrown away end up in his truck bed then in his garage and turned into art later on. Never letting anything go to waste, and always seeing the potential of refused items or leftover paint is what is constantly on Paul's mind.

Channeling what is going on in her mind into her art helps her come to terms with what she is feeling and how to cope with those feelings. She hopes her art can help others the way it helps her; by confronting the troubles and pain we all face to, therefore, overcome them.
