Andy Maticorena Kajie says, "It is believed that roughly 1 in 10 people suffer from a mental health illness (myself included), such as anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, and so on. This number is also believed to be widely underreported due to the vast number of people who aren’t willing to come forward about their mental health struggles.

'Fabric of Affliction' (previously titled The Scarf Project) sets out to depict the various scenes and scenarios in which mental health issues reside in and travel through. It is a collection of images that represent the very fabric of mental health (almost literally at times). Throughout all of the images there is a recording object, a scarf, which plays different roles in each image. From disconnecting subjects from their respective realities, to suggesting various feelings and actions within images that lack the human form, the scarf acts as a mediator for these emotions and experiences. Mental health is an extremely delicate and complex issue that has countless faces and forms. Each photograph is a variation of the mental health struggle.

My goal with this project is to break the stigma of mental health, and to bring these issues into the spotlight. Issues that so desperately need to be talked about and thoroughly discussed and explored in order to further our understanding."

Andy Maticorena Kajie is a Peru born Latino artist who is currently working in still and moving photographic imagery. His work mainly focuses on mental health and other various aspects of the human condition ranging from the general struggles of mental health illnesses to the ideas of the sublime and the beautiful within the real world. His various series include genres such as portraiture, street photography, landscapes, and video art. Each of which never fails to produce a certain level of anxiety or tension which is essential to his style. Andy is expected to graduate from the School of Visual art with a BFA in Photography & Video with honors in May of 2023.

Caroline Dejeneffe says, "I work across photography, installation and painting to create evocative and immersive projects. My photographic work is a made through utilizing studio sessions, found imagery and digital collage to produce beautiful but uncanny images based on the human figure.

I have worked with botanical and landscape motifs as well as exploring images of bodily distress, transformation and transcendence. My main focus is on understanding the diversity of embodied life experience alongside the key universal themes that bring our experiences closer together: love, pain and fear. Within my photographs the subjects rise up in flames, emerge from ink and integrate with plants. Much of my photographic work is cloaked in a lush darkness, tapping into interior contemplation and subconscious thought, with several images set on front of a starry night sky.
 
My painting and installation work balances sensual mark making with bold, graphic, linear compositions. My acrylic paintings play with depth through areas of intense colour alongside increasing levels of more delicate hues, giving the effect of semi-opaque screens, distance and movement.

There is a constant balancing act between the dynamism of geometry and the fluidity of more organic painted textures, which seem to flow across the surface. My large-scale installations are made in a variety of media chosen to align with the ideas within the work and past projects have been created in highly tactile materials such as inflatables, artificial fur and synthetic grass.

I have also worked with sculpted neon lights to extend the angular elements of painted compositions out from the canvas into three dimensions."

Caroline Dejeneffe (b. 1985) is a French artist based in Los Angeles, USA. She has previously lived and practiced in Paris, London, Montréal and Miami before moving to LA three years ago.

She has a BA Hons in Fine Arts from the University of Arts - School of Fine Art in Saint-Etienne, France, including study time at UQAM, Montréal, Canada, 2007. She has exhibited her work and been involved in festivals in Europe and North America including at Fonderie Darling in Montréal; Centre Pompidou, Paris; and Collect at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London.

She created a suite of large-scale interior installations entitled Optic for Nuit Blanche in Montréal commissioned by the organisation Massivart. In 2013 she was awarded a production grant and exhibition from Art Souterrain, Montréal, and her work was included in the KPMG Show in 2016. Her project Cognitive Processes toured between 2012 and 2014 with Ruban Blue and was also exhibited by the Society of Arts and Technologies, Montréal in 2012.

Carol Eisenberg says, "My compositions begin with originally sourced imagery selected from photographs I shoot in my studio, on my travels, and on location near my homes in Maine and Tel Aviv.

From these wildly diverse components (pastoral and urban), I construct digital images that blur the line between painting and photography. This duality of aesthetics is an essential component of my approach to art and life.

I am drawn to the polarities of beauty and decay, the contrived and the natural, the excessive and the elegant … juxtapositions that are palpable in these water-bound floral landscapes, whose obsessive structure[s], according to author and poet Claire Raymond, appear textural and of the surface but are grounded by a mysterious, pervasive sense of depth.

These photographic assemblages, she notes, make the visible world a submerged secret place that is somehow emerging through a fabric of light into visibility."

Carol Eisenberg has been a practicing photographer since the 1990’s. She was an active participant in 1970’s second-wave feminism and, as such, principles of inclusion, equality and justice inform her work. 

Eisenberg received an MFA in Media Studies and Photography from Maine Media College in Rockport ME.  Her work, which is in both public and private collections nationwide, has been the subject of recent solo exhibitions at the Maine Jewish Museum in Portland ME and Carver Hill Gallery in Camden, ME … as well as recent group exhibitions at Cove Street Arts in Portland ME, The Southeast Center for Photography in Greenville SC, The Griffin Museum of Photography in Winchester MA, Photo Place Gallery in Middlebury VT,  The Curated Fridge, New York Center for Photographic Art in NYC, Colorado Photographic Arts Center in Denver CO and the LC Bates Museum in Fairfield ME.

Cas Slagboom says, "I seek beauty in the way in which the combination of different images evoke an experience.

For me, photography is more than capturing the perfect moment. Every time I try to capture my astonishment with a single photo, I am disappointed. This was not what I want to see and feel. It is larger, more complex, more diffuse. I have to bring all those fragments together.

In compositions in which they together tell a story that transcends my understanding. So, that every time I look at it, I can be surprised again.

All the photographic technology that we have to capture our world in images may give us the idea that we really "see" it. But nothing gives me more liberty than letting go of this straight way of observing, in order to experience the shortest route to wonder, and the love that follows from it. I use modern technology to find a visual language that exceeds the photographic moment, so that there is sufficient room for the complexity of what we call reality. 

HABITAT is a photographic essay of composite artworks, an ongoing research committed to the delicate balance between human beings and their natural environment. I wonder what place we occupy in this complex and amazing ecological system, and whether we are able to do it in such a way that we don’t make our presence impossible.

Each image is composed of dozens of photos, creating a new reality. As a spectator you feel that something is happening that you are not used to, which is actually not right, an almost incredible staging. And so I compose a new moment that may be closer to the desired reality than we experience in the here and now.

We live on this planet, but we don't really know how to do it. There is also no clear answer. As an artist / photographer I want to artfully visualize our human desires and dilemmas and encourage us to reflect on our role in the complex ecosystem on which we depend.

I think the image we form of reality is only part of the story. It is always from the human perspective, and the accompanying idea that we have a responsibility that may be greater than we can bear. Of course it is impossible for me as a person to escape from that perspective. 

Still, I want to make an effort, because I think curiosity about the unknown is an essential source of inspiration. I don't have to go far to find that unknown, I just have to shake the world I know. With the rearranged images that this yield, I try to show the magic of the world in which we live.

Either way, this world is the most bizarre, creative and inspiring experience I will know as a human. As an Alice in Wonderland, we all walk around in an environment that we may want to understand but cannot understand. It is too complex for that. I don't think the goal is to be able to analyze and control everything.

That would be an arrogant endeavor in my view. However, anticipation is something we can do well, and it has been the success formula of the human species so far. This requires knowledge, but also awareness. The awareness that our environment is not a utensil but an essential part of ourselves, and the realization that we are not the most  important factor in this, but only part of a fascinating system, can ensure that we apply our knowledge with other insights.

I think this realization and the action that comes from it is our only chance of survival. The great thing is that we have the right properties. And we also have the technology needed to share that consciousness like never before."
 
Cas Slagboom was born in Vlissingen, Netherlands. As a child he learned the analogue photography process in his father's darkroom, an on-going learning process, a drive to be able to manipulate the technology to tell a story.

Before he started as an artist, he spent years in the wild as a mountaineer. In search of a confrontation with life and wondering about the strength and the urge to survive, he started drawing. The fascination for the relationship we have with nature as a complex and amazing ecosystem arose with his never-ending curiosity and to share his view with others.

After many wanderings through the wild, he started at the St. Joost school of Art & Design in Breda in Design & Fine Art. Afterwards he mainly focused on visual communication, fascinated with the possibilities of interaction. 

As Creative Director he seized even more opportunities to further specialize himself with the digital technical developments.
In 2002, he started Motion Works with his wife in a joint ambition to use images to tell stories. They realized projects and "social art" like We come Closer to build bridges somehow and focused on narrative and impact. As a result, Cas returned to the image making itself, almost like a painter. Nature, and in particular our relationship with it, always had a prominent place in his work. It is a deeply rooted realization of being part of something infinitely versatile and great.

Catherine Marcogliese says, "I began my artistic career in painting after having obtained a BFA (Painting and Art History) at Concordia University in Montreal.

Since my arrival in France, where I now reside, my work has been concerned with the definition of the notion of the “real” in visual representation. Early on this involved integrating 3-dimensional objects in my works, but later, with an obvious logic, I turned to photography. Combining found objects and photographs, I employed a multimedia approach that allowed me to question not only the notion of the real but also the role of photography in contemporary art.

Today my work is primarily photographic in nature. In conserving the plastic elements of painting such as form, line, or colour, I manipulate my images in an attempt to push photography beyond a straightforward narrative representation in order to arrive at a freedom of expression which is more emotive and personal.

Consistently throughout the evolution of my career, landscape has been my subject of choice, and specifically, our relationship to our environment. Fundamental in my treatment of landscape is that our view of nature is never direct, but is always construed from the perspective of our modern lives.

In the end, it is impossible to separate our idea of nature from the context of living in modern urban society, from cultural influences, and our knowledge concerning the precarious state of nature in the twenty-first century.

Series Description: Address Unknown
The series Address Unknown questions our place in nature and, specifically what we would like it to be. It is the dream of living harmoniously with nature, lost but, at the same time, one with our surroundings - the myth of living isolated and free from the constraints of the modern world.

The images in this series are composites where I place a small iconic house in a wild natural environment. From forests to mountains, the scenes are shrouded in mist and washed out by light to create settings that are dreamlike and illusionary. These are imaginary dwellings in imaginary landscapes. The cabins are semi-transparent - there and not there, merging with the landscape.

It is important for this work to be read as plausible but not “real”. Cabins in the woods exist. However, what I’m expressing in these images are cabins in the mind: in other words, the dream or desire for this lifestyle. There is a sense of purity that emanates from these images and reflects the fantasy of our imagined existence in this idealized landscape."

Daniel Hojnacki  says, "The moon was once thought to be a liquid body of water, that it’s light was so bright because of its reflective surface of falling and rising tides. The craters on its surface are called “mares” which in latin means “seas”.

Erroneously named in the 17th century by observers who were confused by what they were actually seeing. That if the moon were a mass heavier than liquid or air; it would fall into the earth, crash into us, become us. 

I arch my 4x5 camera up, blindly, breathing. A young moon in the old moon’s arms, recording my body as the moon and the moon as my body. Asking the moon, will you too evaporate in time? Speculating how it may look if it were a vapor of my breath, a rising and falling tide like it’s mares, becoming a body of water again.  

Then my chest begins to fall and the camera falls with me, then I rise and the camera rises. I close my eyes, feel a cool breeze, a calming sensation of catching the breath, holding, then releasing. You are a mirror bouncing to me, and I am also a mirror reflecting you. I have captured you as me and me as you."

Daniel Hojnacki currently lives and works  in Albuquerque, NM, where he is an MFA candidate at the University of New Mexico (expected 2022). Hojnacki has spent many years of his career as a photography educator for youth in the Chicagoland area, and has recently developed experimental photography courses with the Harwood Art Center in Albuquerque, NM.

He is currently a photography instructor at the University of New Mexico. Daniel Hojnacki has exhibited work at the Museum of Contemporary Photography in Chicago, IL. the Chicago Artist Coalition, The Chicago Cultural Center, with solo exhibitions at Comfort Station in Logan Square and David Weinberg Gallery.

He has recently exhibited work in group shows with birds + Richard in Albuquerque, NM and Foto Forum in Santa Fe, NM. Hojnacki's forthcoming MFA solo thesis exhibition will be with birds + Richard in April 2022.

In this series of photo based montages, Dean and Laura Larson explore the imagined life of animal/hybrid creatures in their own fully developed world where they can view themselves as the subject in a rich pageantry of experiences.

In this world they have authority, conjure snake medicine, discuss issues of importance and mourn the loss of their own kind. Within these digitally manipulated images the format is vertical in order to explore the AXIS MUNDI concept: above, middle (or axis) and below.

As a collaborative team, Dean sets the “mise en scene” developing layered images from their travels to Europe and here in America. When the surreal landscape has been created, Laura then selects the animal hybrid(s) that will best suit the feeling of the landscape. The feeling elicits a story for the viewer to ponder. Sometimes she combines her own sculpted animal heads with other sculpted bodies in iconic poses in order to achieve an action that references cultural history.

Los Angeles art critic and curator Mat Gleason writes:  "In a fraught ecological moment, artists Dean and Laura Larson  look beyond the peril our species face and see the connectedness of the planet as a worthy subject. When one species is threatened are we not all threatened?

Laura sculpts exquisite bronzes of animals, displayed as sculpture in their own fine art context. Dean is a world class photographer, shooting and exhibiting since digital photography was a dream reserved for those sniffing the darkroom chemicals.

The two artists, masters of their individual media, collaborate as a stance that caring about the earth may be the only way to save it.

The result of this collaboration is a new type of Surrealism. The Larson brand of Surrealism does not illustrate dystopian psychological strife. Since that is how the present reality appears to people more and more each day, to be surreal in contemporary times is to portray a world of hope, a world where no species is under the threat of imminent immolation.

These works imagine a different avenue for humanity to take. They implore a collective investment in the imagination of what we know to be real and what we can manifest as the real world we want to live in."

Dean and Laura live in Los Angeles and have both shown extensively over the course of their 35 year marriage. Dean has taught photography for 3 decades while maintaining a freelance photography career. Laura has been exhibiting since 1980 including 7 Public Art commissions. 

As a collaborative team they have shown regularly in galleries and museums  such as the Fine Arts Building Los Angeles, Riverside Art Museum, Museum of Art and History (MOAH) in Lancaster, California.

Recent Collaboration Highlights:
2021 - "Scribes", Roswell Space Gallery, Los Angeles, CA
2021 - PhotoNostrum Magazine article, July, 2021
2018 - "The Council Gathers in Time", LAAA Gallery 825, Los Angeles, CA

Dennis Geller says, "What we do see covers whatever is behind, in space because nearer things occlude further ones, or in time, because the world, like Heracltus’ famous river, is always changing.

These images attempt to bypass those limitations, by showing both what’s in front and what’s behind; both what’s happening now and what just happened. They seem to show a world in which we are intimately connected to other people and objects, and yet infinitely distant from them."

Dennis Geller a  Ph.D. from The University of Michigan in technical stuff, and had careers as a professor, a software developer and a high school teacher. He has trained in Photography at the Griffin Museum, the New England School of Photography (of blessed memory), and the Maine Media Workshops.

Dianne Yudelson says about her series 'The Visitation', "I am perplexed by the mainstream cultural portrayal of cemeteries as dark, haunting, macabre places to fear--home to vampires and ghouls. 

My experience represents a complete contrast to this mainstream depiction. I have always been drawn to the quiet tranquility of the cemetery. Even as a child, I felt reverence for the lives that the graveyard represents.

Today, I am filled with respect for the innocence of the lives cut short and the wisdom of the agéd, and I acknowledge that those who have lived and loved before me have created the world I now inhabit.
 
Visiting a cemetery evokes a sense of wonder about the lives of those who have passed. What were their fleeting pleasures, private perils, lessons learned and guarded secrets? Who were their heroes and what did they dedicate themselves to on earth?

Our cemeteries represent not only our families, but also soldiers, nurses, teachers, lovers, philosophers, artists and innocent victims.  Combined, they represent our ancestral humanity
 
These five images are part of a larger series of photographs. With this series I bring my personal vision of the cemetery to life. From the simple beauty of the veteran’s grave marker to the ornate marble architecture of historic mausoleums, I respectfully render the cemetery, bathed in beautiful light, with the presence of loved ones and unsung heroes."
 
Dianne Yudelson is an award winning photographic artist. Her images have been published in over 50 countries on 6 continents. Dianne’s work has been exhibited in Spain, France, Scotland, Georgia, Malaysia, Germany, Thailand, and throughout the United States. Her honors include Photographer of the Year from Black and White Spider Awards, International Color Awards, and World Photography Gala Awards.
 
“I embrace the challenge of exploring varied forms of expression. When inspiration lays a new path before me, I gladly take a detour. I am motivated to create by the hope of evoking emotion that continues to resonate across time.”

Jane Gottlieb says, "I have been expressing my joy of art with paint and bright colors since childhood.  I began as a painter, then became a photographer and for many years I hand-painted my color prints with unrealistic vivid colors.

Twenty five years ago I began creating my art with Photoshop and my painted prints as well as a library of 35mm Kodachrome color slides taken over my lifetime.
 
With Photoshop I paint, collage and enhance, creating my own colorful, magical and idyllic world."

Gun Roze says, "As a photographer, my defining year was 2012. While living in New York City I discovered a series of colour 35mm negatives of images I photographed mainly on the streets of Manhattan in 1982. This discovery inspired me to return to street photography in NYC, though from a resident’s perspective this time. 

Being a dedicated walker, I choose to use a compact point-and-shoot digital camera for its easy access along all my routes. I photograph whatever intuitively attracts my attention or interests me. I have no need to plan my street captures since I am fully present when out and about. My natural approach allows for repeated routes and previous finds to be experienced anew. 

Over the years, my images have accumulated into various themes and categories. In recent years a new series developed beyond traditional street photography subject matter. My appreciation for reflections on water, glass or metal, and fascination for shadows and light-play, have led me towards exploring more abstract imagery. The effects and illusions created in these captures encourage the viewers to use their imagination to decipher what is and isn’t reality. 

My intention is to transform overlooked and ordinary subject matter into extraordinary images. With this emphasis I regard myself primarily as a street-based photographer. I also thoroughly enjoy creative collaborations with my fellow artists to photograph honest and compelling portraits."

Gun Roze is a Toronto born Fine Art Photographer. His essential photographic knowledge was gained throughout his 35 year career as a Master Analog Printer for professional photographers. His darkroom expertise brought him work opportunities in Toronto, Vancouver, San Francisco and New York City.

2012 was a defining year for Gun’s photographic direction. The rediscovery of a series shot during two trips to Manhattan in 1982, inspired him to return to street-based photography. With his ever present compact digital camera, this became a daily practice, though now from a NYC resident’s perspective.

2015 was another significant year for recognition of Gun’s photography. He was nominated for and received the Peter S Reed Foundation Grant for photography in NYC. His first solo exhibition, featuring twenty-one of his “MANHATTAN 1982” images, was shown at Akasha Art Projects in Toronto.

Since his return to Toronto, Gun’s photography has evolved beyond traditional street photography subject matter. His current exploration is often more abstract and painterly, yet the subject matter remains street-based. Gun recently self-published a coffee table book of his “MANHATTAN 1982” photos to wonderful praise.

Gun Roze says, "As a photographer, my defining year was 2012. While living in New York City I discovered a series of colour 35mm negatives of images I photographed mainly on the streets of Manhattan in 1982. This discovery inspired me to return to street photography in NYC, though from a resident’s perspective this time. 

Being a dedicated walker, I choose to use a compact point-and-shoot digital camera for its easy access along all my routes. I photograph whatever intuitively attracts my attention or interests me. I have no need to plan my street captures since I am fully present when out and about. My natural approach allows for repeated routes and previous finds to be experienced anew. 

Over the years, my images have accumulated into various themes and categories. In recent years a new series developed beyond traditional street photography subject matter. My appreciation for reflections on water, glass or metal, and fascination for shadows and light-play, have led me towards exploring more abstract imagery. The effects and illusions created in these captures encourage the viewers to use their imagination to decipher what is and isn’t reality. 

My intention is to transform overlooked and ordinary subject matter into extraordinary images. With this emphasis I regard myself primarily as a street-based photographer. I also thoroughly enjoy creative collaborations with my fellow artists to photograph honest and compelling portraits."

John Paul Caponigro says of his series, 'Global Warning - Antarctica',
"The images in my series Global Warning are both visualizations of invisible greenhouse gases and metaphors for the negative emotions we are deluged with on a daily basis.

Solastalgia, climate grief, and eco-anxiety are contemporary complexes that continue to intensify and deepen with every year that passes. Living in the anthropocene, the sixth great age of extinction, we find deserts and industrial wastelands
spreading at alarming rates, plastic in the rain, and a rising tide of diseases exacerbated by toxic waste. We pay big prices, both externally and internally. It’s difficult not to feel like we are the problem and solutions seem too few, too slow, or too insignificant. It’s challenging not to retreat into denial. It’s hard not to go numb. Rather than repressing these feelings, these images provide a form of freeing catharsis, at first difficult to digest but ultimately clearing space for something more restorative to fill the voids they point too.

Things are much worse than we thought and not as bad as we can imagine. If we heed the wake up calls that exist all around us, we will be able to find ways to live more harmoniously with our environment and ourselves.

The scope of this series is global but the first images to be released in it are drawn from Antarctica, the earth’s great climate regulator where ninety percent of the world’s ice acts as the earth’s refrigeration unit, driving ocean currents, and so the weather of the world with it.
