emerging artist: Taylor Robenalt

“Art has been an obsession of mine since I was a little girl. It
represents a part of me that I have a hard time placing into words
therefore I create.  It is intuitive and reactionary process. Often I
have a loose image of what I want to create, but allow for freedom to
respond to materials and form in the production of the work.  I use
human beings, flora and fauna because it is a direct way to illustrate
emotions. I use clay because it is a direct way to work with form,
volume and surface.”

emerging artist: Charity White

My work explores questions of space, public policies, inclusion,
exclusion, and privilege. From urban, to suburban, to rural, I explore
the social dynamics of people and the spaces they inhabit. Specifically,
I find inspiration through public spaces designed for specific use, and
abandoned properties that are both created by these communities and
then collectively discarded.”
