Wednesday, October 8, 2014 - 9:15PMLindsey Wolkowicz is a visual artist whose work primarily lies in drawing, but also utilizes sculpture, video and performance.

Neill works with shape, form, line and color in several different media to create abstract works that draw attention to the fluidity of time. Her works are process-oriented and carry references to aspects of nature such as weather and the color of earth, sea, and sky.
Short List Curator: Carrie Lederer
Wednesday, March 19, 2014 - 7:45PMThe artists I have selected from the BRIC Registry use a broad reach of tactile media including textiles, sewing, crochet and woodwork—many of which as a craft or practice are centuries old. Decades ago, artists collapsed the notion that these traditional media are for conventional use only, embedding them with contemporary issues and conceptual ideas. Is it a collective need in our techno-driven age to reconnect with tradition and the era of handmade objects?
