All three artists will display some hint into process, further allowing visitors into the mind of artistic vision.

random (8) is an installation of woodblock prints combining digital technology with analog printmaking. I write looping algorithms that generate images of noise — randomized pixelated grids. These grids are physically mapped by hand onto a printing matrix using woodblocks, and once set, are inked and printed on paper with a table-top etching press.

Each of these artworks is offered as the beginning of many possible continuums, and the sculptural rearrangements of the participants manifest some of the infinite possible outcomes. Each outcome, in turn, could form the basis for future transformations. By yielding artistic control, I aim to facilitate an opening for unpredictable change and a space where pleasure and even joy can emerge naturally.

Outside Dog features minimalist works that explore feral American themes. Along with skateboarding, these objects reference rural values, music, biker, and car cultures.

Mother Nature is our greatest teacher in her quiet knowing and acceptant embrace. Her lessons are often communicated the most clearly when we lose a loved one. Particularly when the heart is in deep need of repair and we are faced with our own mortality through proximity to death.

The graphics represented here are not merely paintings, they are multi media sculptures as well. Their graphic lines leave the canvas and tear out into space, curl up or wave appealingly and sometimes rejoin the canvas, sometimes remain suspended in space. though appearing delicate, the disjointed parts are actually quite sturdy and hold their carefully considered shapes.

Born of pandemic challenges and creative necessity, Avantika Bawa and AGENDA have collaborated to enable this monumental artist to continue working in an imaginative and completely unprecedented way.

The exhibition will include 13 of the Paiement's watercolor ink paintings he executed in the late 1990's. The paintings address our Western cultures' notions of beauty rooted in bilateral symmetry.
