Patrick Brennan :Singularity Cultures" 2021-2022 PLA Plastic, Petri Dishes, Backlight 25 x 18 inches [$5000]
Patrick Brennan "Polyethylene Python" 2022 Acrylic on Plastic 21 x 8 x 15 inches [$4000]
(left) This series of bioplastic sculptures aim to explore the emotions associated with delicate biological/ micro-organic inspired structures trapped within the confines of rigid geometric forms symbolizing the struggle between boundless conscious minds/ complex social structures and the limiting language we use to define and divide them from one another in the broader context of the world.
To bring a discussion around individualism and group dynamics in the postmodern internet age and to critique the toxic narcissism that has been so promoted and propagated through the current state of social media and consumerism, by showing these individual organic forms as trapped by their narcissistic, ego feeding cliques. In essence, they are meant to show what happens when one defines their inner being by the people they spend time with and the aesthetics they consume. A vision of the current world as being full of “unique individuals” which are really mostly the same with superficial quirks, like memetic iterations of each other, and the anxieties one faces as an artist knowing pretty much every idea we ever come up with has already been thought of by someone.
Polylactic acid, the material I use for the organic forms is created from processing corn and other organic matter into a strong, durable, and beautiful material that is also biodegradable and nontoxic, I wish to draw parallels between PLA bioplastic and human bodies through their impermanence and fragility. while the forms surrounding them are made of acrylic (cubes) and polyethylene (Petri dishes) materials that are non-biodegradable, products of the petroleum industry, and toxic when heated, which has both a permanence and a context of industrial/ corporate structure of oppression and dehumanization that works as a cage for these forms to be trapped in.
PLA bioplastic forms are placed inside acrylic cubes and Petri dishes to elaborate on concepts of isolation, individualism, hierarchy, group dynamics, connection, and complex systems of patterns within patterns associated with human socialization and the struggles of fitting into that order.
(right) A discussion on the role of plastics as an army waging total war on humankind and the planet. These toys are both the literal facsimile of soldiers as well as being produced from Polyethylene (a petroleum byproduct that never biodegrades, is rarely recycled, and releases greenhouse gasses when exposed to sunlight). Thus, its very material takes up arms against our ecosystems and civilization. These pieces aim to bring attention to the militaryindustrial complex through their formal shape (the Ouroborus: a monstrous snake who eats its own tail) as a metaphor for the way weapons and technologies manufactured by these companies are used on both sides to kill, thus creating a larger meta-machine that continuously eats itself. They critique the use of symbols and weapons of war as children's toys, exemplified by the toy soldier, and how children are indoctrinated from an early age to find war aesthetics to be socially acceptable.

Emily Falcigno "Diver" 2016 Acrylic on wood board 4 x 4 x 1in [$800]The artist in me feels wasted and constrained in my corporate law firm job down by Faneuil Hall. 4 years in, I am itching to get-the-fork-out. 8 years in, my bank account is overflowing and my energy levels are plummeting.
I want to dive in to something new, but I don’t know exactly what.
Cue the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Tour at the ICA. Have you ever seen a kayaker parachute down from a helicopter irl?
Exhilarating! This is the excitement I want in my LIFE!
The divers not only confront their fear, they excel at making a scary jump fun! They refine it again and again and again. I photograph them from all different angles.
10 years in, I make these paintings to hang in my office as a reminder to make a career changing leap of faith.
I want to get back to being a Professional Photographer, like Lou Jones, who photographed the Millennium Tower construction workers. You might remember his photo installation on the windows of abandoned buildings here in Downtown Crossing.
12 years in, an attorney calls me into the conference room looking out to the half-finished Millennium Tower. (Hi Lou!) I’m assuming I need to fix the TV for him. I sit down next to him. Two voices are on the speaker phone between us.
Of the surreal jumbled words coming from my bosses over the phone, all I hear is “Cobra”, and my inner voice. “Am I getting laid off?? Thank God! I’m getting laid off!! I can go be a photographer!!” I give two thumbs up to the attorney, and walk out.
Exhilarating!
My colleagues are sobbing and confused at my elation.
“BYEEEE!”
The universe pushes you right off a cliff when you’re too far down the wrong path.
What do I land on?
*The ICA. As a VA giving gallery talks.
* A billboard in Times Square with my In Her Words Diary photos on it. See if you recognize some past VAs.
* The Visionary’s Journey Podcast about jumping into something new without knowing what you’re doing. Every single episode is a practice in refining my jump.

Artist Statment:
Floating is a rare but desirable state of being for many people. We look for it everywhere we can: bobbing in oceans, recessing into caverns, suspending above the pavement by the axles of cars, closing our eyes and traveling weightlessly into the arms of a faraway lover. Much like light, this floating sensation is at once perceived and intangible. I am interested in the ways we attempt to preserve memories and find sentimentality and magic in the mundane. I give my ideas physical form through my work, which allow me to feel like I am touching and molding moments with my hands. Through this, I have begun to feel a deep longing for invented places and versions of people that may have never existed. My work exists as a moment for untouchable collective memories to become personal, real, and valid. My work creates a space for remembering and reflecting fondly. A spot to quietly mourn something that was long forgotten. A place to release the weight of unacknowledged memories and have a moment of floating.

Elisabeth Gerald "Traces" 2022 Graphite on paper 40X30" [not for sale]
Elisabeth Gerald "Untitled #2" 2022 Micron pen on paper 17x14 " [$85]
Traces continues a recent series of drawings exploring mark making and drawing as a form of record keeping. The drawing starts without a goal or visual representation in mind, rather, marks accumulate and begin to take shape with my hand acting as the guide. These drawings aim to explore the physical act of drawing. Touch, pause, rhythm, the motion of moving across paper. My hand and graphite working in unison. The drawing remains.

(left) Acrylic boxes packed with medical materials from syringes and needles to pharmacy bags and hormone vials are a window into seven years of the artist’s life.
(center) This piece explores coping mechanisms used in lieu of accessibility to mental and physical health resources. Without access to the appropriate infrastructure around community health, marginalized groups often fall vicim to the void of systemic isolation. Substance abuse and sex work can be parts of that equation, which is especially prevalent among some of our most vulnerable such as transgender Black and Indigenous People of Color (BIPOC). The public spectacle of suffering is all too common for marginalized peoples as one is often left to their own devices of survival in the absence of a comprehensive public healthcare system.
(right) During bouts of homelessness garbage became treasure and every find was like rescuing a piece of myself. This collagraph plate was created from discarded pieces of found materials such as plastic and paper. Collagraphy involves creating a printing plate made by collaging materials to form a matrix which can then be sealed and passed through a press to create prints like any other plate. This piece comes from a body of work exploring abandoned objects and the lives they lead after abandonment.

Danielle Pratt (top) "Red Thread" 2021 Cyanotype on found fabric 33x30 inches [sold] (bottom) "Pocket" 2021 Cyanotype on found fabric 25x30.5 inches [sold]
My work seeks to understand and celebrate how we leave ourselves to be remembered and potentially rediscovered. Using found or recycled fabric to make cyanotype prints, then taking the work home to collage on the sewing machine; I use the time spent in pandemic-imposed isolation to engage in traditional craft techniques. I am interested in the human impulse to catalog and understand things. By looking through photography of scientific specimens, landscapes, and printed silhouettes of actual objects; I intend on creating an archive of personal interests, inspirations, and experiences stitched together in a natural historical quilt.
Jaylan Ramos "dinner for 2" 2022 watercolor 18"x24" [$3000]
Jaylan Ramos "what you left behind: the field notes" 2021 mixed media: pieces of hand written letters over watercolor. glue. 8"x11" [not for sale]
(left) Two figures engaged in an intimate moment. This deals with feelings of vulnerability, exposure, longing and desire. I felt uncomfortable even painting such an intimate image and showing it to people, but I really wanted to challenge myself to make something that made me feel overexposed. The image is supposed to be a hazy memory: hence the soft, almost unfinished strokes. I often spend a lot of time daydreaming about my past experiences and after some time, these scenes become a little rosier and hazier as the days pass—sometimes for better or for worse.
(right) A collection of written material both sent and unsent to a person from the past. I took the handwritten letters from a small journal we shared and glued them to a watercolor painting of a lake reflection that I had visited with this person. I wanted there to be pieces of the letters in sort of disjointed conversations to represent the range of emotions that come with the end of a relationship. The table with the field notes notebook is presented as the source of these now cut up letters, where all of this began.

Anna Reidister "Cat" 2021 SD video/ceramic, scrap fabric/soccer ball 2:31 min 41.5''D x 18''W X12.25''H [$500 for cat, $250 for soccer ball]
Anna Reidister "Cat" (detail)
"By Sword We Seek Peace" is a multimedia installation featuring a reappropriated version of the state flag of Massachusetts, blown by a fan. The "All Hail Massachusetts" plays into the fan. This piece brings the state seal's white supremacist imagery to the forefront, with a full-bodied Miles Standish poised to strike.
“Cat” is an experimental pop song about a cat with an absent father. The accompanying music video matches the childlike qualities of the song, from the image quality to the imagery itself.
Ryan Ricci "VA Shadow" 2019 Black fiber and gallery paint on drywall 24”x17”x1/2” [$250]
Ryan Ricci "VA Shadow" 2019 Black fiber and gallery paint on drywall 24”x17”x1/2” [$250]
Ryan Ricci "VA Shadow" 2019 Black fiber and gallery paint on drywall 24”x17”x1/2” [$250]
This body of work is a kind of “meta” representation of VAs in the gallery space; actively showing their absence or the evidence of them having been there. It turns the VA presence into the artwork that visitors are suddenly meant to view & consider; for this reason, the paintings were made as objects separate from the wall itself. the shadows never physically leave the surface of the drywall, which nods to an everlasting presence of VAs in the galleries. Their placement in the gallery space is signifcant as well; displayed on the sides or at the ends of walls, or in corners, at "shoulder-to-butt-level," they occupy the spaces where the VA would typically stand.

Monica Srivastava "Eulogy" 2021 Silkscreen on bristol 14 x 17 in [contact Monica at mastanimon@gmail.com]
(left) These two paintings incorporate Indian block print patterning, Mughal-era architecture, and portraiture to talk about identity and belonging. Patterned screens, called jalis, were built in Mughal India to circulate light and air through an architectural space while also granting privacy to those inside. The jali, in my work, serves as a way to hide the real me. It is the thing that separates the real me from perception. In this work, you can see a jali projected on my face, giving way to another figure that lives in shadow, born out of obstruction. Which one is the real me? The one in the shadow or the one you can see?
(center) This series of three paper works explore the intersection of identity with portraiture and architecture. Patterned screens, called jalis, were built in Mughal India to circulate light and air through an architectural space while also granting privacy to those inside. I use them now in my work in a similar way. They are delicate, made of paper, and strive to hide the figure behind them. In theory, they are permeable; the figure could, in the world of paint, come through the jali. If you look long enough, she does. But the jali serves as a way to hide the real me. It is the thing that separates the real me from perception.
(right) This body of work explores portraiture, identity, and the remnants of grief after the loss of my grandfather. The prints are covered with a pattern reminiscent of Indian textiles and architecture. At the bottom of each print, there are two figures outlined in the same print – this comes from an image of my grandfather and I – in which one is filled in and the other is outlined. The remainder of each print is part of the eulogy I gave at his funeral, it fades slightly with each print until it is barely legible, in the same way that grief and memories fade with time.

(center) A figure that is swinging on a red sing. There is yellow/brown sand in the four ground with shower as the figure swing. In the middle ground you can see a brown railroad tie and the blue legs of the swing set. In the back round the is green grass.
(right) You are looking head at green monkey bars. The monkey bars are in the four ground and go all the way to the back ground. There is a beige sand in the four/middle ground around the monkey bars. The figure is haging on to the monkey bars with one hand in middle ground of the painting. You can see the monkey bars go all the way to the back ground wish is a shy blue that has white cloud.
