My work explores notions of gender, ethnic identity and power. It depicts female subjects in imagined spaces or environments composed of urban exteriors, religious interiors, everyday objects and emotionally charged talismans. These spaces are fantastical elaborations on metropolitan existence and cathedrals that use historically/traditionally powerful iconography and symbolism. Placing these subjects in this context is meant to afford power in a representation style usually reserved for religious icons; thus affording them power without overt sexualization as objects. This process continues for me as I shift mediums and materials. The beginning of this body of work is heavily rooted in drawing and building up surfaces with dry materials and has now shifted to a larger scale, using markers and wet media. As a supplement to this work, I also create etchings and lithographs that correspond to some of the existing pieces. Currently I am questioning the role of everyday routine and objects in the creation and establishment of ceremony. angeladavisfegan.com

Works by Melanie Kasten & Scott Pandel
April 12 — May 29, 2011
Melanie Kasten | melaniekasten.com | As a designer, I thoroughly enjoy applying modern ideas to traditional methods and images. Within my work you will find many references to animals and nature combined with man-made items from our everyday life. This work is meant to embody what in this day in age comes naturally to us; riding a bike, potting plants, etc. These things have become part of daily life, or at least my daily life. My goal is to acknowledge and embrace these acts and recognize them within the beauty of nature that surrounds us.
Scott Pandel | ScottPandel.com | This body of work is an introspection into moments I once reveled in, that stand clear in my memory, while the culmination of the surrounding feeling of these moments come to pass in a poignant reminder that these pictures, these moments are all but what is left of the fading memories of a time I once loved.
