Chris Harmon
Has two distinctive bodies of work included in Unhinged. The first group of works are drawings on drafting vellum, that are stacked together and lit from behind. These layered drawings become a single image when illuminated.
The second body of work is very much a product of developing new drawing techniques in the studio. "I used paper that has no sizing (glue) to my advantage, I made drawings in water that I then treated as rubbings with highly pigmented watercolor pastels."
Mary Pacios
She is celebrating a life long practice of linocuts. Thinking of the theme of show Mary choose to frame her linocut blocks. Something to disregard in the past became a refreshing new relief sculpture. Each block has all it's original carve and color left on block. "I look at them differently now, a piece of artwork on their own."
Mel Townsend
Has two large format drawings, one man, "Blue Collar" one woman, "Spent". Each piece began as loose gestural portraits with charcoal and graphite. Then she added each plexi layer with acrylic and ink. "I wanted the work to be layered, like our feelings throughout the day."
