Artist Spotlight 7: Chris Meyer and Josh Johnson

An atom. A molecule. A cell. A micro-organism.
Josh Johnson and Chris Meyer are two guys that make, what I would consider to be, fairly large sculptures.

Artist Spotlight 3: Amber Hansen and Andres Torres

Amber Hansen and Andres Torres will be mentioned simultaneously because both of their first names start with A, their last names are comprised of the same number of  letters and the second to the last letter within both of their first and last names is e.

Andres Torres makes wondrous colorful worlds that you can climb into. The only problem is that sometimes you don't come back.





The works of Amber Hansen resonate with a profound evaluation of the relationship between the self and it's self and it's selves and society.
