Amita Bhatt-
Artist Statement
Mythology, Joseph Campbell says, “Lines the walls of our interior system of
belief, like shards of broken pottery in an archeological site.” I make visual,
emotional and spiritual sense of these myths in my works, as I explore our
social and global political climate.
I derive the sacred sensuality and abundance
of spirit from ancient Hindu and Buddhist Tantric imagery. Contemporary pop
cultural myths such as Spiderman and Xena-the Warrior Princess continue to have
a strong influence on my work.
While celebrating the feminine divine as also
the organic manifestations of female Energy (Shakti), here on earth, my small
paintings are born from an optimistic view of religious, philosophical, and
geographical tolerance and are meditative readings of human histories and
cultures. Symbols from the wealth of obtained imagery are meant to be
interpreted in their traditional metaphoric context.

Artist Statement
Lames Lance Frazior
There is a moment when a person reaches an
apex within their own creativity. And in that moment, every Artist strives to
convey a part of him or herself through the art they create. My art conveys
perceptions and reflection of personal experiences that blend the inspired
dynamics of both my urban and rural influences.
I enjoy the relational dichotomy of structural elements mixed with and
intermingling of natural-organic elements. I develop these elements within my
art to create a dialogue of internal and external reactions --- a personal
reflective experience to be interactively shared and generate possible
reflections for others.
Materials and processes become an integral part of my work turning my ideas of
the man-made structure and organic materials into an inviting tactile
experience. My artwork progresses into what I term as a “Tactile Aesthetic” for
the viewer, giving them time to reflect on personal things they have touched as
well as seen before. Of my artwork, the viewer can choose to reflect on past
experiences or to continue toward a sense of new exploration.
I am inspired by a Japanese word that was developed and defined by the great
swordsman of the “samurai.” Bushido. The word is the meaning of: discipline of
honor, simplicity, patience, and endurance. I see the meaning for me is simply,
the internal creates the external and the external reflects the internal. The
clay and the person, the structure and the natural.

Artist Statement: Dance of Communication
Overwhelmed at first to life in America,
finally adjusting to it, I felt somewhat out of place when I went back to my
origin, Japan. This displacement from and alienation to the once familiar
captures what I know as the passage of cyclical adjustment to different
environments. This experience displeased me, because I struggled with feelings
of a loss of belonging for a long time and felt insecure with my identity.
However, after I got over this struggle and started to recognize home as home
again, I experienced an extreme feeling of attachment to my own culture. My
insecure identity gained foundation again, and I felt myself completed. Becoming
acquainted with myself again, I noticed there are two different persona inside
of me, which form a unified and concrete self. One persona belongs to Japanese
culture, and the other belongs to American culture. This work explores myself
communicating with my other counterpart. The successful communication of both
persona will bring the conversation flow. Celebrating traditional Japanese ways
of greeting, starting formal moving to informal ways of conversational gesture,
this work presents myself becoming a unified self.

Serena Lin Bush Artist Statement
March 2005
My work in video installation concerns the
relationship between two things – gesture and the space that it occupies. The
combination of these informs our sense of ourselves in the world. Gesture
encompasses both large and small movements: from how we wave our arms, to
perceived fluctuation under the skin, such as an anxious twitch. A body’s
movement can be conscious or unconscious, deliberate or involuntary, but
regardless of source it is a ubiquitous part of how we exist in the world. The
space that these gestures define is the ever-fluid personal space, which
communicates to us our sense of comfort, our identity, and our condition.
The curious thing about reflexive gestures is
that they are often so common we forget they exist, even though they help us
articulate a word, define an emotion, or recognize a change in our environment.
They are also not highly visual events in the first person experience – rather,
they are physical and mental; they are felt. Through the combination of mundane,
everyday objects and the video image, each installation works to create a visual
form of that instinctive experience, presenting it anew to the viewer.

Artist Statement
The started making ceramic
capsules when I thought about the way our society seem to have prescribed drugs
for any ailment. Unfortunately it is not as simple to find answers to other
kinds of problems. The pills are metaphoric for “solutions” or things that we
seek in life. The scale of the pills makes them funny yet somewhat
disconcerting at the same time. “western twelve step” accompanied “eastern
twelve step”. There are twelve capsules with the numbers 1-12 underneath each
pill for the western version. The eastern version had asian characters for 1-12
underneath each pill.. This is a play on the concept of the 12 step program
that is implemented by certain rehabilitation programs. The two pieces were
exactly the same except for the numbering.
The Bliss Question Mark is about seeking happiness and how do you find it? it
is a question mark formed by pills with the word bliss on each pill. Each of
the text is different in type to represent the idea that each person’s sense of
happiness is individualized.
I created these pieces for part of a show called the Art of Happiness that was
on view at Meg Poissant’s gallery in the Heights. It was during a time when I
actually had to do much work on own personal growth.

Topology Forms In Ceramic Sculpture-
The Phenomenon Of Movement
Yi-Chi Wang March, 2001
Clay , an ancient material used for making
utensils, has become a popular medium of expression for artists. Contemporary
sculptor searching for new art forms have been seeking for new ways to express
the phenomenon of movement in nature. Topology, a new geometric study, uses this
phenomenon of movement to create new art forms. Instead of utilizing the
triangle, circle, square, cone and cylinder, artists are finding new elements of
shape in the spiral, arc, knot, curve, bubble, and wave. These shapes create an
aspect of internal energy found lacking in the geometric shapes. I use ceramic
as a sculpture medium and combine Topology concept to create my ceramic
artworks.
The Application Of Topology Forms In Art
The use of Topology in art has been my thesis.
It is a form of mathematics called “Neo-geometry”, and was used, for example, by
Hans Arp. Arp’s “Beerger De Nuage” is the sculpture full with the
shrinking-expanding character of Topology. The other example is Constantin
Brancusi’s “Endless Column”, and “Bird In Space”, and Henry Moor’s “Internal And
External “ forms are also. In 1858, A.F. Moebius reported his research in
something he called “New Geometry”. It was ignored by artists until the
beginning of the twentieth century when Max Bill created Surface”, and was one
of the first to acknowledge the Topology forms. At around the same time.
M.C.Escher created many Topological graphic artworks. Escher’s famous art forms
were called “Moebius Strip”. This new concept of space is important in my work
because it enable me to express phenomenon of movement. I feel these forms
provide a new illusion to express the concept of space, visual beauty and the
universal need of all human to be part of this universe and beyond. These
elements can be described in the curve, camber, wave, bobble, knot, spiral, and
so on. As such we can observe these in the light wave, tornados and spiral in
the movement of the sea. The phenomenon of shown movement in visual art becomes
the tight and loose, shrinking and expansion, gushing and emerging found in
nature. And, this world has many circulations and spiral that are turning and
circulating forever. It is my hopes that convey to the viewer the illusion
movement found in nature. Our world today is teeming with life and I want my
work to reflect this continuing energy and beauty.

June Woest- Artist’s Statement
My works are meditations on the domestication
of the geographical landscape. Real topography, regional or remote, becomes
personal because soil and earth are the common denominator. Inspiration has
included a mass of land in China that is now an empty mountain after sustaining
a worldwide porcelain industry for 1,000 years, our lunar landscape mapped with
300 named surface craters, and the hollow, mud walled, cylinder cells shared as
homes by two different species of wasps. While these landscapes are physical in
nature, their shapes are uneasily grasped, even inaccessible, yet are vulnerable
to our innate organizational desires. My work reflects on the interaction of the
cultural, agricultural, and geological forces at play in shaping the world and
its geographical resources.
