Ronna Nemitz, The Pull of Gravity (2011)
The Pull of Gravity explores ideas of suspension, tension, and isolation through an on going narrative. Amplified and exaggerated moments are suspended in prolonged tension and isolation, pinpointing moments of transition. Truncated limbs replace entire figures. With the impending movement halted, the ephemeral nature of experience is momentarily arrested and able to be examined.
Everyone experiences some form of these moments in their lives and it is my attempt to make something physical that represents the complex and contradictory emotions involved in life’s transitions. Personal meaning takes shape out of these moments. We are the sum of our life’s transitions.

Sculptor Deborah Baldizar
“I liken my sculptures to maps. Each one is a physical description of an emotional place.
Through my work I seek to identify discreet body language that might betray a private thought or reveal a hidden emotion. I am most interested in raw moments of self-reflection, inner thought and questioning.” - Deborah Baldizar

Maybe I’m the one whose tastes are changing. I must be growing up. Because this is better than 99% of the figurative illustrations I have found today. And to think I fought against being regarded as an abstract artist. They really do have all the fun, and some of them don’t even get in your face about it!

Yerby on her work:
My art is mixed media photography, and collage . As a Naturalist collect specimens for their studies and museums , I photograph my own collections as well as others. Using nineteenth-century photography techniques, and modern chemicals, I try to evoke the beauty of nature and a bygone time… All my work is informed by my surroundings. Each piece speaking of Beauty,
