Gordon Glasgow's work is meditative, and articulates a genuine sensitivity and response toward his chosen material. This artist deliberately focuses on the senses by isolating parts of the human figure as his subjects. These sculptures are contemplations on the body suspended in the physical structure and material substance of carved wood. 
Marirose Jelicich's jewelry takes a green perspective towards use of materials; meanwhile, her approach to design results in primitive yet modern adornment for the body.

John Ruszel begins his work with a narrow set of parameters through detailed drawings. Wood, string, and metal inspire this artist to explore structures concentrating on the support of an object, creating interplay of his limited materials.  The act of creating these finely engineered works exhibits his values of both craftmanship and mystery between light and shadow.
