Giving equal thought to both the front and back of the canvas, Zoe has reclassified the sides of her work as “recto” and “verso.” This strategic retitling allows Zoe to democratize the way she views, speaks, and applies paint to the surface of the canvas, attempting to destabilize the hierarchy between front and back. Zoe slices holes into the canvas to expose its inner structure, leaving these open spaces as pauses or portals into more loaded psychological spaces.

Working equally between painting, print-making, and blogging, David produces content inspired by Youtube comments and the week’s current topics of obsession. Trained in painting, he adds elements of craft onto his large canvases, subtly layering felt, googly eyes and glitter as collaged additions. Often generating dark subject matter on his own, Leggett also turns to his blog for viewer requests which can take his drawings and stamped images into even darker dimensions.

Richard’s studio is in the front room of his home where you must walk past several of his crayon drawings before you enter his private space. Working in both crayon and oil, Richard creates looping works that evoke the sense of a dividing cellular organism, tricking the eye as to what is the interior or exterior of each shape. Richard’s titles are often inspired by poems, the title exposing the interiority of his thought process during the work’s creation.
