Matt Zigler
In a world of changing environments, weather patterns and geo-politics, what role can art play in shaping change in culture? My art seeks to show the truth behind the the animals we encounter and the ecosystems that we live in, both wild and domestic. My interest is exploring the complicated interconnections between spaces and the living creatures that inhabit them. For me the process of painting is both a process of learning about my subject and determining the most effective way to portray the reality of the world beneath our shallow perceptions.

Human Self-Improvement
At some point, human beings will move from creating tools which expand our ability to creating those abilities within ourselves. This is a discussion of the future of human self-improvement: how will it look and what parts are desirable, possible, and/or inevitable.

The Eternal Kevin Brock (b. May 5, 1971)
As Kevin’s widow, I am wanting to explore and share some of what I perceive to be Kevin’s guidance and legacy as we (Kevin’s community and loved ones) work to carry his spirit forward in this world/dimension/time&space and in our hearts. Kevin’s life and death have have profoundly impacted and inspired those fortunate enough to know him or know of him. My hope is to tell you more about one of our community’s valuable resources: The Wellspring of the Eternal Kevin Brock… http://www.kevinbrockdrums.org/

circular time & art
I trained as a potter but was, despite my best efforts, moved (compulsed?) to make and install outside, a series of 76†H, 8,000 pound, wood fired clay blocks, or stelae. Based on their porosity, estimated at 6-8%, they will slowly erode and follow the watershed from northeastern PA back to the Chesapeake Bay, near where the clay was mined.
