These works subtly anthropomorphize animals, placing them in vulnerable, human-like positions, to encourage a connection between viewer and subjects. Through suspending the animal in moments of tension, the artist encourages feelings of discomfort, empathy, aggression, or fear within the viewer, inviting them to question the level of understanding possessed by animals as well as their potential role in our lives. Alexander Landerman completed his Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2-Dimensional Art...

Since he retired to Bloomington 16 years ago, Ed McEndarfer has concentrated on combining lifelike forms of birds and animals with elegant stoneware vases. Squirrels, birds, and horses blend reality with spontaneous abstract pattern. Elements may be fully formed, sculpted in relief, or painted directly on the surface. Ed uses a Japanese technique for placing forms around a pot so that any view is a complete and balanced picture. Opening Reception: Friday, September 7th, 5-8 PM On D...

Similarly the human form, particularly as it signifies these arche...

Having dabbled in painting, drawing, ceramic, metal, glass and fiber art, Sally found mosaics to be the art form that would hold her interest as an artist. “It allows me to use all of my artistic interests together in a single art form. There are no limits in mosaics, and I believe this is why I have found it both intriguing as well as creatively satiating.” Sally May Kinsey is a member of both the Society of American Mosaic Artists (SAMA), and Contemporary Mosaic Artists (CMA), as well a...

A relief stone-carver based in Brown County, Indiana, Sidney Bolam began her career as a painter and an illustrator. Though Indiana Limestone now stands in for paper, her imagination-inspiring works remain close to her roots in illustration. Using an array of tools and artistic techniques, Sidney meticulously and lovingly textures each piece. The resulting sculptures - simultaneously fantastical and earthy - are reminiscent of medieval illuminated manuscripts both visually and even etymologi...
