DIANE POLLACK

In this show, she offers several series which explore materiality. Each of her Veti Dekita works begins with a central collaged  square from which exuberant, colorful strokes burst. Another series, Lost and Found, is a reflection of what printmaking methods on plywood can reveal or not reveal.

LYNNE AROVAS 

Lynne describes her work as Energy in order. She arranges expressive designs of nervous energy in a contained, structured way. The process of continually re-cutting, rearranging, gluing and sealing creates a tile like quality. Emotions, nature, and color inspire Lynne and are often the intertwining themes in her collage.

DAVE PRESSLER

His works in this exhibition represent the visual difference between chaotic movement versus stable order. Selected images contain visual elements that communicate dynamic movement and energy while others are more stable. Both groups visually “play” off each other to create an awareness of their differences.
