Aleya Hoerlein

is in NAP #162. Her compostions convey negative and positive spaces that alternate: sometimes the dark color recedes into a void, a nothingness; at other times, the darkness emerges to become the subject and the gradients of colors become the background. The gradients are a gradually dawning or dimming light source, an expansion, and a fleeting moment of time.

is in New American Paintings 162. She says “Abstraction is the framework with which I investigate ideas of place dependence and the psychological need to belong somewhere; approaching abstraction as an allegorical language is ideal for connecting the nonconcrete value of belonging within space.”

Margaret Saliske

In her newest work, Margaret imagines a shape and then works it out against the wall altering it perhaps the way a potter manipulates clay pushing and pulling angles. The form then suggests how the black will interact with it and connect it to the wall. In some of the pieces there is a visual sequence that moves from object, to actual plane, to implied plane. There is an ambiguity in the relationship between these planes that the viewer resolves by moving around the pieces.
