Doug Milford at Two Coats sez “good art can have multiple sources of meaning” that “may or may not be apparent or even deliberate, but they make up the work’s internal structure and shape its style.” Claudia’s work (below) is engaged with and by some diverse material which no doubt inspired such solid prose.

works with a limited palette of only four base colors: red, yellow, black, and by mixing and combining them she produces a seemingly infinite variety of shades and hues. She says this approach has given her a kind of subliminal freedom.

Regular readers will know that I am a member of Tiger Strikes Asteroid. For the past two years, this artist-run organization has been transformative for my creative practice. Through TSA, I’ve developed real skills—exhibition development, installation, collaborative leadership—and connected with a community of independent artists working toward something meaningful together.
No exhibit happens without resources. And while we do a lot with grit and will power, we do need funding. This year we are hosting our first-ever benefit exhibition in NYC on October 9th. I rarely use this blog for this kind of appeal, the exception being when artists really do need support. I’m sending this today because I genuinely believe this event is worth your time and consideration.
TSA is artist-run and volunteer-powered, which means every ticket directly funds exhibition programs across our five locations nationwide. For those of us that live in or near NYC and can make it to the event, over 100 artists from across the country have donated original works that are seeking new stewards.
How it works:
Hoagie Level tickets ($500) ticket to the party and you choose exactly which piece resonates with you. Thank you so much to anyone who can give at this level!
Hero Level tickets ($300) ticket to the party and get you a curated selection from our collection.
Just wanna party and network and see the works! Sub Level tickets ($50) gets you a ticket to our party on October 9th. Plus, use code FRIENDOFTSA for 10% off when you get your tickets at givebutter.com/tsabenefit25.
Can’t make it to NYC but still want to purchase an artwork? No problem, we’ll ship your selected artwork to you.
And if you don’t live in NYC and want to support TSA (yall know how I feel about NYC and the Arts…) buy one for a friend who lives in the City and can go! Seriously!!!
Also and… if you’re an artist in the Southeast please consider applying to our open call!
is a TN-based multi-disciplinary artist (below are prints of digital work) who also has an MA in Art History. He is a past Pollock Krasner Foundation grant recipient.

observations of air and water pollution, and the increase in severe weather patterns due to climate change, contribute to the acidic aspect as well as the spatial shifts in their current work.

Sharon Butler of Two Coats gives some love to Chicago-area painter Anne Hayden Stevens, their newest resident (Bryce is also a past resident). Her primary endeavor is to examine how we navigate and relate to physical and psychological spaces.

David Carrier has words about I Believe I Know (which closes soon), which closes Maggie (and Elijah). I don’t know if she would call these “abstraction” (one is reminded of Dorothea).
