Atlanta native, Caroline Bullock creates mixed media abstract works whose primary inspiration is the human relationship with the natural world.

She uses cyanotype as the physical backdrop of her work because this photographic process serves as a direct marker of place in time. The final works are a juxtaposition between controlled photographic moments and non-linear unpredictable painting. Bullock received a BFA in Drawing and Painting from Georgia State University. Her work is included in multiple private and corporate collections worldwide.

Henry is a mixed media artist who creates abstract paintings, textile collage works and assemblage constructions using the strategies of layering, fragmentation and reduction. In her work, she blurs the relationships between architecture, landscape and the body.In her desire for a timeless expression, she constantly mines the seam between what is primitive and what is modern. Henry's mother was a design student at RIT in the 1960's and her grandfather was a typewriter engineer for Smith Corona. She credits them both for her love of design and for teaching her to see the intrinsic value of a handmade, stripped-back aesthetic. Today she lives and works in Tucker, Georgia where she has a devoted studio practice with a focus on creating paintings and objects that illustrate the symbiotic relationship between craft and concept.

Trevor King lives and works in New York City. His artworks are open-ended projects that ruminate on the endurance of the human spirit in the face of time and mortality. For him the making of an object is an act of witnessing, and a medium used to articulate the poetic relationships between place, history, and the momentary. Trevor grew up in Butler, Pennsylvania, a rust-belt mill town that experienced enormous job loss after the war-time boom. He attributes the post-industrial landscape to his interest in material culture and the resonance of objects. The mundane, the low-brow, and the commonplace inform his imagery, resonant with stillness, vacancy, and the poetry of the redundant. King received a BFA from Slippery Rock University. During this time, he also studied in the Sculpture and Intermedia departments at the Academy of Fine Arts in Poznan, Poland. Trevor received an MFA from the Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan in 2015. He has been an artist-in-residence at Touchstone Center for Crafts, Ox-Bow School of Art, Haystack Mountain School, Sculpture Space NYC, Greenwich House Pottery, MASS MoCA, and The Hambidge Center. King has been a Fellow at the Bronx Museum of the Arts. Articles on his work have been published in CFile, Floræ, Maake Magazine, and Sculpture. Exhibitions of King's work include Melting Point, a group exhibition at the Craft and Folk Art Museum, and solo exhibitions including Notions at Sculpture Space NYC, and STILLNESSNESS at the Emmanuel Barbault Gallery.

Spittoon, 2018
Anagama fired terra cotta
11 x 15 x 15 inches

The firing of an anagama kiln first connected me to Hambidge. After an intensive period of sculpting six life-size athletes, I wanted to explore and experiment in a new medium. An interest in porcelain brought me to a Hambidge Residency. Spending those weeks at the Hambidge Center---wandering in the woods, enjoying the camaraderie between residents at dinner, and the freedom to explore my chosen medium are all excellent reasons for my continuing support of Hambidge. I have had numerous commissions for bronze portrait statues including the six life-size athletes installed and unveiled in Cedartown, Georgia; the 9' tall Morgan Monument to Education, installed at the former African-American high school in Cartersville, Ga.; and the portrait sculpture of President Jimmy Carter at the Booth Museum of Western Art.

Moma uses collage to explore the space where spirituality, gender, race and identity, and sexuality intersect. She celebrates the human form in her work and reinforces ideas about individuality and self-love. In August, Moma completed a public installation with the NBAF and installation in Macon for DASHBOARD, and exhibited with Dominique Gallery, at The Future Fair.

After a 35 year career in higher education I have transformed into a full-time potter. Since then I have taken 80+ workshops, experimented with different techniques, forms and methods and developed my own style. My forms are hand built and textured mainly in white stoneware. My vessels reflect a contemporary, minimalist sensibility while evoking ties to the ancient. I favor stains to highlight the textures on the surface eschewing glaze so that the form is not overpowered on the surface.

Until December 2018, I was a scientist with the CDC. After 27 years of working as a laboratory chemist and later as a field epidemiologist, I was offered early retirement, and have now devoted myself to being a full-time artist. A very large part of the reason for my early retirement is that I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer in 2010. After the worst of the chemo, I converted my home office into an art studio and vowed to spend my evenings doing art, not calculations. When the possibility of an early retirement was offered to me, I took the chance at a second career. My work is largely playful and positive because the world can be a dark and scary place at times. But staying focused on the positive and keeping hope for the future can carry us through.

Form and structure collide with chaos in these works by Stacie Rose. Gestural brush strokes interrupt clean lines and geometric forms to bring discord to a structured composition. Combining painting, screen printing and mark making techniques, a dialogue between controlled mediums and spontaneous expression ensues. Variant spatial planes and textures exemplify non-linear time space events. She strives to render the wonder that lives in the unexpected, the renewal that follows in the path of destruction, and the drive to manipulate the past, present and future. Rose has lived and worked in Atlanta since 2008. Her work is included in numerous corporate and private collections. Recent projects include murals and large scale paintings in CODA Tech Square, and MARTA's Arts Center Station. Stacie earned a BFA from Pratt Institute and is a Hambidge Fellow.
