Jess Blaustein is a conceptual artist and wannabe spy. With backgrounds across architecture, craft, and the humanities, she often uses discarded materials to tell stories of places—especially places underneath and in between. Jess crafts books, quilts, maps, and other tactile devices under the name B-PLOT and is also the co-founder of STUDIOOSS Applied Arts Collective.
I make mixed media pieces on plexiglass. Each piece can be installed in different ways, such as hung from a wall, a ceiling, in front of a window or in a light box. I also work in photographic series to further my ideas about the blending of visual and conceptual boundaries.
Monika Zarzeczna works in abstract sculpture, collage and installation. Zarzeczna’s work stems from an exploration of materials, objects, forms and their perceived purpose, intent and history, depicting ideas of transition, loss of function and in-betweeness. Zarzeczna has shown in Europe, Canada, David Castillo Gallery in Miami and NYC’s SculptureCenter, Lesley Heller Gallery and Spencer Brownstone Gallery, among other venues.
