Andi Fink is a multidisciplinary artist currently working in photography and painting/drawing. Her practice is based in examinations of the body as a canvas to act upon, a refuge against the world, and as a personal penitentiary. Fink’s current work explores the experience of pain, especially chronic pain, and its effects on a person’s physiological and psychological state and how these experiences, in turn, affect each other. These investigations seek to explore pain and vulnerability, not as separate entities tacked onto an individual’s personality, but as an ever-changing fluid part of the body and sense of self.
Bradley Cook is an artist working across the interrelated media of printmaking, papermaking, and book arts interested in the various meanings that are intrinsic to process and material. These meanings are often generated through artistic and utilitarian contexts both historically and in the contemporary world. Exploring the potential of inherent meaning as it relates to content presents Bradley with a sense of discovery and play, themes reflected in his work.
