Art by Matthew Swarts
I use computers and printers to explore some of the questions I have about the things I make with cameras.

Lincoln Vignette by Linda Cordell
Sculpture Linda Cordell creates a morbid porcelaine vignette figure of Abraham Lincoln with flesh hanging from his shoulders as an eager rat approaches. See porcelain statue below: “Socially awkward and full of repressed anger, I anesthetize myself spending mindless hours carving detailed texture on humorous and/or uncomfortable animal sculptures. A child of the revisionist era, my work reinterprets the figurine enabling animals to break the chains of cuteness and noble savagery. An appreciation of the ridiculous, a love of beauty and skilled craftsmanship, and the belief that domestic objects are social propaganda all contribute to my work.”

Return to Magenta by Brooklyn Whelan
Sydney based artist Brooklyn Whelan creates a series titled Return to Magenta where he depicts beautiful clouds slowly descend into color using acrylic paints. “As an artist, I work to develop paintings that speak about the beauty and power that exists within weather patterns. I constantly find myself staring into oncoming storms. I do not merely want to capture the image with my painting; rather, with strong bold strokes, I want to give it life and energy, also the sense of fantasy that one might see in an 80’s sci fi – Powerful electricity, but with a tone of grace, softness and movement.” www.brooklynwhelan.com
