JAMIE CAMPBELL—BRAMBLE
For most of my life, I have been making art out of recycled and found materials. I am inspired by primitive artists who have culled art from the materials of their natural environment. Growing up on the shores of Lake Ontario there was an endless supply of flotsam, rusted metal, driftwood, and sea glass to inspire me as a young person. As an adult living in a city, my natural environment is filled with trash and decay, which I find new use for in my sculptures, collages and jewelry.
VHS tape tangled in a chain link fence can take on many of the qualities of a small stream; flowing through mid air as it blows in the wind. As metal rusts, it regains a softer organic shape, like a skeletal leaf. You can find beauty in most everything if you are willing to look hard enough. Nothing is “useless.” Trash can be transformed into art, and art can transform ideas, spaces, and lives.
Jamie Campbell will show work at iMPeRFeCT Gallery as part of an installation in the “Red Room.” Runs April 6-30 at imperfectgallery.com.

Kjersti Faret—“The Execution of Lady Jane Grey”
Depicts the young head of Lady Jane Grey, the Nine Day Queen, after she was executed and the quote from her executioner as he displayed her head.
Kjersti Faret is currently a junior at SVA studying illustration. Her favorite mediums include etching, embroidery, gouache and ink. She is half Norwegian and half cat, both of which influence her work greatly.
ART: RACHEL BLYTHE UDELL
I am drawn to using soft, comforting, highly textured materials because of their capacity for suggesting forms that feel alive; I think of them as plant-like forms and spirit beings that secretly “know” what I can’t, though they’ve come from inside of me. The resulting organ-like structures are metaphors for a connectedness specifically related to how human beings exist in the world: that a human being is not a self-contained biological organism, but part of an interacting, breathing membrane, transmitting and receiving the stuff of life between social and psychological systems, ecosystems, solar and cosmic systems, etc. We are all made of the same stuff: we are distinct entities and yet we flow, physically and emotionally into our surroundings. My pieces are sentient extensions of myself, a delicate attempt to extinguish the unnaturalness of human isolation. In the face of unspeakable horrors and miraculous wonders, my art is both an attempt to create a channel through which I am able to come to terms with the often polarizing experience of existence, and the plane upon which I attempt to strike a balance between extremes.

Ryan Hogan—Calendar Islands
I gravitate towards the blog as a mode of presentation because I like how the continuous accumulation of images creates a cinematic experience which can reveal narratives that unfold on a wider timescale.

SOFYA MIRVIS—Carried by Dust
Unexpected interactions of material and image drive my creative discovery. In an effort to uncover what lies beneath the surface, I navigate through layers of imagery using drawing, painting, collage and found elements.
“Deep Roots II” focuses on the use of art on farms to spread the message of the importance of local urban farming and being conscious of how to support your community through collaboration…
This is the short five minute version of “Deep Roots II.” You can watch the full 25-minute version here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qd7FpX-EgpE
“Deep Roots II — Days and Nights on the Farm” is a documentary produced by Michelle Saul-Yamasaki of the multi-media art installation by Meei-Ling Ng, that took place on October 6th and 7th, 2012 in collaboration with Weavers Way’s Mort Brooks Memorial Farm and their Farm Festival and in conjunction with the Philadelphia Open Studio Tours (POST) and lighting designer Jackson Kay. The aim of this event was to spread the message that urban farms by necessity need to be multi-use spaces not just for growing food. Meei-Ling Ng and her collaborators took a unique approach to raise awareness on the importance of farming by expanding the audience past foodies to art lovers and beyond. Meei-Ling’s multimedia art installation featured sculptures using repurposed and recycled farm materials that focus the viewers’ attention to the many facets of urban farm life. It included a multimedia bee keeper sculpture, a farmer sculpture, light shows (to see life on the farm at night) and functional art that the farmers utilize in their daily tasks such as the decorative chicken tractor.
Collaboration was another key theme of the event and of this documentary also. Meei-Ling collaborated with many, from light designer Jackson Kay to Farmer Rick, farm educators to high school students (Central and Friends Select), Anna the director of POST to photographer Sang Cun and Michelle Saul-Yamasaki, the videographer. This amazing collaboration resulted in a great turn out of people, an amazing art installation that everyone enjoyed and learned from, many became interested about becoming a part of Weavers Way Co-op and those involved met new friends while eating and enjoying music. And with the collaboration of Meei-Ling and Michelle Saul-Yamasaki, they were able to capture this great event and the people that made it happen to then share it with more communities and continue spreading this message to inspire other communities. It would have been impossible if it wasn’t for everyone collaborating in the name of something they believe in…

“I create collages from a large pool of freehand drawing I have made, mostly consisting of buildings and other urban features. When photocopied, cut out, and put together, the result is a large-scale, highly detailed cityscape reminiscent of the classic videogame SimCity.”

Patrick Morris’ artwork explores integration and differentiation. The process is akin to dream work; archeologically sifting through the laid down material for forms and trying to decipher the hieroglyphic content. The matrix of relationships to my 17 year old unschooling son and wife of 24 years is where I go for nourishment and rationalize my panicked need for isolation. http://patrickmorris.deviantart.com
