$500Andrea Marquis
Amplifier
Stoneware and Glaze
2" x 15" circumference
About the work
Amplifier is designed to serve a reflective mandala-like sculpture. The circular pattern comes from repetitive layering of a drawing of fig tree leaves. It has been reworked many times and the former flora has begun to resemble fauna (sheep or goat) and has been designed to stimulate the projective quality of a Rorschach Test. There is an inherent duality in the fig and sheep references that play on ideas of good and evil.

Tapestry
2021
coated steel
66" x 31" x 1"
About the Work
Tapestry is a balance of the feminine and the masculine. The material is offset by a feeling of intricacy, like that of lace. The vibrant color exudes a playfulness, lightening this heavy material. For this sculpture, Serkes cut the forms from steel pipes and individually welded each circle to create this elaborate composition. While it is currently displayed hanging on a wall indoors, Tapestry can also be mounted to a custom-fabricated frame to enhance an outdoor space. Tapestry is the first in a series by Melanie Serkes exploring these concepts.
Can be wall mounted or freestanding.
Bio
Melanie Serkes is a multidisciplinary sculptor working primarily in metal. She also explores ideas using drawing and printing techniques. Classically trained at Boston University, from 2002 to 2006, she uses this knowledge of figurative sculpture and drawing to abstract ideas from life. She seeks to highlight and interpret the beautiful aspects of nature. In 2020, Serkes installed her first permanent large scale commission at The Bower: Native Garden and Sculpture Park in Shermans Dale, Pa. This sculpture is also featured on Public Art Archive's 10-Year Anniversary Interactive Public Art Map. Her work has been part of select exhibitions at Delaware Center for Contemporary Arts (Wilmington), Intersect Arts Center (St. Louis), Mainline Art Center (Haverford, Pa), New Hope Arts Center, Philadelphia Sculpture Gym and Fleisher Art Memorial (Philadelphia). She has shown work in outdoor settings including Sculpture in the Glen I and III (Gladwyne, Pa), ArtPaths2020 (Cresco, Pa) and at the Stevens Point Sculpture Park (Wisconsin). In a true and quiet act of feminism she holds a career in a bronze fine art foundry, mastering skills historically reserved for men, such as welding, metal finishing and patina. Melanie lives and works in Philadelphia, PA.

Lichen XXVII
2020
Graphite on paper mounted on panel
15" x 15"
About the Work
I find that the immediate and direct process of drawing serves as a means by which I can meditate on the fundamental nature of things. I see image-making as a way of creating not just a physical relationship to concepts, but a sensual and emotional one as well. I want my work to be felt, not just experienced. I want the concepts that I am exploring to resonate with the viewer on a basic visceral level.

About the Work
My practice involves the dialogue between order and chaos. The process is a constant experiment with the physical properties of paint (color, texture, sheen), moving between addition and subtraction, making and unmaking. It's a call and response conversation much like an improvisational jazz set.

Color Pops 3
2015
Oil on canvas
12'' x 12''
About the Work
The sensation of color, the lushness of oil paints, the thrill of creating, and the surprise of abstraction are what drive me to paint--Add drama to the canvas, and I'm hooked! At the inception of my paintings, I select colors inspired by nature, random places, or other artists' paintings, whatever catches my eye, stirs my curiosity, or challenges me. I explore fluidity, in all its measures: organic form, undulating movement, saturated 'liquid' color, and stylized gestural marks. It's through this fluidity that I find color to be most expressive. Color relationships are very important to me, as are tonal variations. I place color next to color, with the goal of finding just the right combination so that each will make the other shine, or as in this series, "Pop!"
My hope is that my paintings' lushness, power and mood-altering color will affect the viewer on a visceral, not practical level. I want to excite the viewers' imagination so that they pay attention to, remember, and ultimately discover something new through color!
This series is called Color Pops.

G Farrel Kellum
$3,000G Farrel Kellum
A Street's Poet's Scream
2020
Acrylic on canvas with rope
33'' x 21''
About the Work
G. Kellum challenges the rear view perspective of artistic expression and dives into the world of urban aesthetics, as we know it. It also explores the possibilities present in spiritual and psychological practices. Look then, look again. As we move toward the future the images grow more familiar with each truth they unveil. This then becomes a series that grows with time.
What first appears as a contemporary signpost for modern urban life is actually an archeological dig into our perceptions about these polychromatic structures that are presented by Glen's work. Do we see the African designs interwoven into the fabric of this series? Therein lies the complexity of this work. Those who have experienced this journey into cultural perception will recognize these references while others will experience something more visual. These concepts are applied through the use of bold colors and marks in these three-dimensional and two- dimensional forms. His use of mixed media and materials plays into more ideas of passage and a broken heritage in the work.
Bio
Glenn was drawn to architecture and illustration for its discipline and structure. Eventually, Glenn was confronted with the fact that architecture was 10 percent drawing and 80 percent mathematics. Abandoning architecture, illustration became Glenn's focal point, giving him a clear perspective on the direction he wanted to steer his art practice. Very early on, Glenn discovered the importance of black and white visual elements as a personal guide when approaching polychromic structure. During this period, he became more liberated when he encountered the works of Sam Gilliam and Isamu Noguchi. These and other like-minded artist have influenced his work but the biggest influence came from his experience with Buddhism and Taoism. These have had a profound effect on the way Glenn sees things.
Glenn was born in Philadelphia, PA in 1947 and was the youngest of eleven brothers and sisters. After serving in the military for 2 years, he attended the Philadelphia College of Art (PCA), which is now The University of the Arts, and graduated with a BFA in Illustration in 1977. Glenn had his first exhibition at the University of Pennsylvania upon graduating from the university. He has been represented by the Sandy Webster Gallery and Art Jazz Gallery. Glen has also been part of several prominent group exhibitions including those at the Delaware Contemporary and the Woodmere Museum. In 2018 his work was showcased in an exhibition curated by Design Philadelphia in the Bok building. He currently has an artist studio in the Bok Building in South Philadelphia where he works.

About the Work
This piece was part of a series of works created during the pandemic shut downs. During my nature walks, I would collect driftwood from local Philadelphia area rivers that, to me, resembled the human body either in shape or gesture. Once in the studio, I combined the wood in this series with my own disassembled jewelry, garments, and domestic fabrics into assemblages that represent subconscious memories, moods, and parts of my identity.

(framed)
About the Work
WHEEL, DEAL, STEAL, THEN SPIN is a series of small narrative Sgraffito and mixed media pieces with a specific political bent.
Employing a combination of painting, drawing, and collaged elements - images from old engravings and early 20th c. photographs - each of the 10 wooden panels satirizes rant-worthy political maneuvers. AS THE WORLD TURNS focuses on the Democratic process, Congress, and politics - all from an historical perspective.

Water Hyacinth at Sunset
2021
latex on birch panel
20" x 20"
About the Work
My current work investigates the dialogue between the wooden surfaces on which I paint and the trees from which those panels were built. I highlight the interconnectedness of humans and nature, while addressing life's impermanence and transience. The wood grain's undulations, which mark the tree's growth and annual water intake, record a tree's experiences and are a historical account of the landscape itself. In my paintings, I strive to conjure the landscape that no longer exists but is inherently contained in each panel while expressing the visual contrast and harmony where human-made structures and nature intersect.

Healing
2022
Gum/oil emulsion & charcoal on paper
22" x 30"
About the Work
My desire is to use my skills as an artist to facilitate healing, both personal and collective. My artistic concern centers on making compelling works of art that create access to spirit. The work is an expression of what is within and is about the mysteries I find when I let what is inside come out. The lines, shapes and colors are mappings of the unseen as I visually explore internal landscapes.
"If you live by inspiration then you do what comes to you." This quote from the artist Agnes Martin has led me my entire career. I let the process take over, guiding and absorbing me. I take risks by expressing emotion and freedom in mark-making while simultaneously finding wisdom in structure and restraint. I often use a grid, either as a starting point or superimposed over organic chaos, as a structure from which I move and return.
I explore, discover, and heal through the language of painting and writing. I have made public my practice of responding to my paintings with writing, and include the accompanying poems with the paintings. My creative process combines both languages. The writing spontaneously explores what is mined in the painting.
I make art with pure engagement with the physical materials in a movement toward personal freedom, as a way of healing, a form of divination, and an aesthetic path reflecting spiritual realities. The technique I use in my paintings is composed of layers of oil glazes, collage, and transparent beeswax on panel. Works on paper are made with either oil and beeswax or a hand-ground recipe of gum arabic and oil emulsion.

About the Work
Digesting the experience of being alive is my ever-present artistic motivation. I impart instinct and psychological states into physical form, paying close attention to my own body as I work. By aligning with my media I internalize its characteristics, which I amplify to create objects that feel 'one' with their source. Yet, the trace of my making inevitably leaves an imprint of my humanity, and thus an inherent connection to those who experience the work.

Acrylic and oil pigment on wood panel

(framed)
About the Work
My art practice has grown out of a need to manage bouts of insomnia over many years, drawing to distract myself from the realities of sleeplessness. I am fascinated by curious geometries and shapes from the world I see around me, from objects, to architecture to letter form. I work to conflate their formal, spatial and figural qualities, tapping into the perceptions and memories of the viewer, creating something that is foreign, yet familiar.
Working with tools from my architectural training, I develop drawings in graphite, ink and paint as well as in digital form. Pieces are drawn in layers, subtracting and adding lines to clarify interesting qualities that begin to emerge, often reworking them over long periods of time. I see this work as adding to the collection of shapes/spaces that we unconsciously absorb, as we make sense of our every day world.

Rongorongo
2017
pit-fired ceramic
7.25" x 12" x 10.75"
About the Work
Rongorongo is Rapanui (Easter Island) meaning: Incised for Chanting Out
The ancient Easter Island glyphs carved on tablets share a mystical language. With only about a dozen incised wood planks known today, Rongorongo is one of a few independent languages in human history and is yet to be deciphered.
The unique system of characters are incised in shallow horizontal channels. The text is read from the bottom row, left to right. Each line is reversed so one must turn the tablet 180º to chant to the next line. Although the literal translation is unknown, the spirited nature of the "chants" infuse the sculptures. Inheriting the ancestral Rongorongo mobility, the sculptures invert freely into various poses as they step from 2 to 3 dimension.
The mysterious carved organic tablets liken time capsules capturing a once diverse and abundant exchange between man and nature on this remote Pacific Island. The thriving Rapanui culture and its lush landscape fell to deforestation and devastation leaving a profound message and crucial restoration at work today.
The pit-fired ceramic sculpture are unpredictably and uniquely painted 100% by the fumes and flame of their primitive outdoor firing.

Lampworked glass

About the Work
A lot of my work is floral design, but based upon my imagination mostly. I was told a long time ago that we make things we have seen before, sometimes not even realizing it until after a piece is made. So most of my work is in reference to something I've seen or experienced in my past.
Bio
Once you find something that truly moves you, it can enhance your personal life, encourage you to grow, and leave you wanting more. That's what glass does for me. It's my first love. It's given me life and joy. And I know that comes through in my work.
My name is Eva Shelley and I've been working with glass since 2000. I started by taking private lessons at the Crefeld School, a private high school in Philadelphia. I then took individual glass classes at Salem Community College in New Jersey. From there, I attended Temple University's Tyler School of Art, majoring in glass, and graduating in 2005 with a bachelor of fine arts (BFA). My focus at Tyler was furnace work, and also learned both hot and cold casting, as well as fused and slumped glass.
Since graduating, I have been a freelance glass artist, creating glass art and glass jewelry. I've worked on a variety of different projects including pieces of jewelry for loved ones, glass sculptures for events, and company gifts for employees.

Found rotary telephone, house paint, extracted wallpaper, polyurethane

Be sure to see Christina's work in the exhibition Functional Misrepresentation at Park Towne Place now through February 5, 2023
About the Work
Rotary Lattice is part of my Overlay series, completed in 2014. It has a physical projection of collaged pattern that lays over the surface of the object, sealed shut by a treatment of hand cut vintage wallpaper. Inspired by the details that often get painted over many times inside a home, forcing everyday functional objects into the background of a home.
Bio
My collaged constructions and architectural installations are guided by traces of past and person that lie deep within used objects and spaces. Though my work shifts in scale from the handheld to life size, my pursuit of a fragment of place remains. My background in Fiber influences how I arrive at my work and keeps me thinking about how to communicate with material. I use good craft to amplify the uncanny, allowing me to convincingly marry unlikely surfaces and materials.
My interest in architecture and the used object stems from studying the intimacies of the garment and the interior qualities experienced by the individual alone- pockets, interiors, folds. I consider my architectural constructions and object pattern-plays to be based on similar seams and junctures, offering perspectives that eclipse a view into a singular experience- the outcome understood and measured by the body as a view for one, one at a time.

Meditations XVI

Acrylic on canvas

About the Work
My series titled Meditations was created during the COVID-19 quarantine. This body of work was intended to interpret that moment of the whole of humanity: the isolation, the loneliness, and at the same time, the connections that unite us as humans, all giving us hope. During the process and through daily meditation, an internal calmness has allowed me to focus on my creative process. It has also allowed me to revisit my roots and accept inspiration from Mother Earth's palette. While painting, I listen to The Buddha's Tears, Armenian music performed with its ancient traditional instrument, the duduk. It imparts a powerful connection and with it, the sounds of a collective lament inherent of the current situation.

Burning Sun, Plastic Shoreline
2022
Acrylic and flashe paint on canvas with attached plastic
48" x 56"
About the Work
This painting was constructed using a number of attached surfaces including canvas, muslin and plastic debris. Attaching strips of canvas allows me to recycle used material into new work along with other materials on the studio floor that would otherwise be thrown away. Creating surfaces out of used material and integrating these into various landscapes has been the focus of the work for some time now. In this painting, the bold orange sun burns bright over a beach with rough, energetic waters filled with bits of plastic and debris. I am interested in creating a landscape that is both beautiful and somewhat ruined at the same time. It is at the intersection of these two ideas that I find inspiration for my work, the sublime yet broken landscape.

Banneret To Commemorate Forest Fucking
2020
Crocheted cotton string, glue, velvet
28" x 21" x 2.5"
Bio
Caitlin McCormack (b. 1988) is a Philadelphia-based fiber artist whose crocheted works acknowledge a familial, trans-generational tradition of craft and externalize experiences with self harm, body dysmorphia, and assault, resulting in an intimate archive of emotive vessels. Exploring themes such as gender and sexuality, the pros and cons of isolation, and Anthropocene hamartia through an uncanny lens, these works contemplate societal reluctance to view gendered craft as art and regard crochet as a behavioral response to apocalyptic conditions. Evoking folklore, medieval botanical imagery, institutional osteological displays, science fiction and cinematic body horror, each object is an artifact of a memory, tethered to a surface and made viewable from a distance.
McCormack has contributed works to solo and group exhibitions at The Mütter Museum (PA), Museum Rijswijk (NL), The Mesa Contemporary Art Museum (AZ), The Taubman Museum of Art (VA), Hashimoto Contemporary (NYC and CA), The Fort Wayne Museum of Art (IN), Feinkünst Krüger (Hamburg), Vanilla Gallery (Tokyo), Rhodes Contemporary (London), Field Projects (NYC), Paradigm Gallery + Studio (PA) and most recently at SPRING/BREAK Art Show in NYC. In addition to holding teaching positions in Philadelphia at The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and Hussian College of Art and Design, McCormack has completed artist residencies at ChaNorth (NY), The Peter Bullough Foundation (VA), and The Wassaic Project (NY). McCormack was the recipient of a Joseph Robert Foundation grant in 2021.

Oil on board

About the Work
Paintings hover about, unattached to their referents. They differ, in time, reference, and ambience, from film and photography. They welcome their viewers through their visual impact and, like ghosts, haunt them through their visual omissions. They conjure an absence, which ferments attachments and invites future visitations.

About the Work

Bio
Lyn Godley's work has crossed the borders of fine art, interiors, product, furniture, lighting, and jewelry. Godley opened her own studio in 1998 after fourteen years as a partner in the design team of Godley-Schwan. Of all her work, it is lighting which she has chosen to focus for the last twenty-five years. The investigation of new technology and materials in a robust dialogue with beauty - through form, imagery, and color - the duality of science and emotion, right and left brain together at the same time.
From chandeliers to full-scale illuminated evening gowns to interactive facades she has explored a wide range of light sources and effects. Detailed pixels of light embedded into drawings, to large scale public art installations, to miniature light models - she explores the many moods of lighting and its ability to calm or excite. Merging digital printing, drawing and painting, fiber optics, light reflecting films, and physical computing has led her explorations in light and color refraction. Her work has been chosen for public art projects and commissions that explore the intersection of Light and Art in public spaces, and is in numerous museum and private collections, such as the Museum of Modern Art, the Percent for Art Public Art commission at SugarHouse Casino in Philadelphia, or the permanent installation of 7,100 programmable LEDs at the GoggleWorks Center for the Arts in Pennsylvania that continually "draws in light" across the center's façade.
In addition to her studio work, she is an Associate Professor of Industrial Design at Jefferson University, where she is developing curriculum and coordinating a Lighting Design concentration. Beginning in 2018, Godley is taking part in a three-year research project with universities in the UK, Denmark, Germany, and Russia to explore the impact of light on health, and to develop graduate level curriculum based on the findings.

Toned silver monoprint
19" x 15"
About the Work
This is a one of a kind toned silver print made in the darkroom from a 4 x 5 view camera negative- the print had wet glass on the surface of the photographic paper while it was exposed - then I toned it. This piece is a part of my Lost Light Luv Legacy project started to archive my silver monoprints in October 2021-2022
Bio
Leah Macdonald makes her portraits into artifacts, one-of-a-kind conceptions that suggest the imperfection and multiplicity of memory. The heart of her mixed media work, a poignant sense of revisitation and return. Her passion is sharing her art and creativity with others through teaching workshops, art exhibitions and her prolific internet portfolios. Her new technique "photogestic" is the fruition of all her years of experimenting with altered surface analog photography and mixing media. It combines her three skills in art: photography, collage and encaustic painting. When transforming photographs from slivers of reality to complete fantasy, she expresses the tales of womanhood. She uses collage to place her figures in new and surreal environments. Her intuition with encaustics allows beeswax to embellish and veil her models. She carefully draws on the wax to decorate and control the visibility of the subject. Layering these mediums by manipulating surface texture and color grants her the ability to express her imagination and bring her art vision to life.
She was born in Philadelphia, she attended college in San Francisco and then went on to receive her MFA in Photography from the California College of Art. She enjoyed a long and varied career path within the arts:commercial photography, professional analog printer and college professor. She was the Education Curriculum Director at the Manayunk-Roxborough Art Center. In 2007 she was asked to do a live encaustic painting demonstration on the Martha Stewart show. Other highlights include a solo retrospective of encaustic nudes at Wexler gallery in 2010. In 2016 she was the scenic director of In My Body Musical. In 2017 she was selected as the recipient of the NewCourtland Fellowship by The Center for Emerging Visual Artists.In 2018 she was an artist in residence at the Encaustic Castle. She recently launched a new website; Lost Light Luv, it features her legacy analog photography. Her encaustic photography art is represented by Inliquid Arts, Saatchi Art, GalerieBMG, Venvi Gallery and Cerulean Art Gallery in Philadelphia. She has also self published numerous handmade artist books.

Beachin Cliffs

Acrylic, ink, gesso, marker, and spray paint on canvas
24" x 24"
About the Work
Beachin Cliffs is about arrival to a scene. A place we may have been in a dream, and a setting for a party. The painting explores the uniqueness of individuals and how upon arriving to and celebrating in a place we can let that shine. As the characters arrive at the precipice, some look back, some are excited, and some wait. This emotional diversity is key to any party, and in this work that is explored in each figure in the scene. So, arrive with them and overlook the grassy shore, and feel the golden light of the fading afternoon wash over you by the cliffside.

About the Work
Marcelo Daldoce (b. 1979, Brazil) is a contemporary artist whose paintings address current personal, social, and environmental issues through ethereal, idealized landscapes.
Daldoce's work speaks to the many migrations he has taken throughout his life - both physical and cultural. His process is a personal journey of self-discovery and self-identification, of finding belonging in the unfamiliar, and drawing passion from his heritage. As Brazilian playwright Nelson Rodrigues identified, "Brazil is not a country, it is not a nation, it is not a people: it is a landscape."
Structuring his pieces within a storytelling narrative, Daldoce's meditative imagery explores subjects of loss: through migrations, power, and environmental disaster. Metaphors inspired by mythology, folktales, and stories are woven with forests, violence, and hubris. Believing in the power of allegory, Daldoce lets nature become his stage to tell these stories on: creating a sublime image that holds and espouses a hidden drama within it.
Bio
Marcelo Daldoce is a Brazilian artist living and working in Brooklyn, NY. In 2016, he received his MFA from the New York Academy of Art, and has earned residencies at the Leipzig International Art Program in Germany and the Eric Fischl Residency in Maryland. His work has also been featured in group exhibits in Brazil, New York city, Sotheby's, and many other galleries around the world, as well as on the cover of various art publications and mainstream magazines like There and GQ. Daldoce was awarded the Elizabeth Greenshields Grant in 2017 and 2019. Daldoce currently teaches at the NY Academy of Art and Art Students League of NY.
