Jennifer Weigel
Menu Current Volume Archive About Us Submit Categories Jennifer Weigel Jennifer Weigel is a multi-disciplinary mixed media conceptual artist. Weigel utilizes a wide range of media to convey her ideas, including assemblage, drawing, fibers, installation, jewelry, painting, performance, photography, sculpture, video, and writing. Much of her work touches on themes of beauty, identity (especially gender identity), memory & forgetting, and institutional critique. Weigel’s art has been exhibited nationally in all 50 states and has won numerous awards. Artist Statement: I have always photographed things that catch my eye, especially the more mundane or overlooked those things might be. I am particularly drawn to details of nature & sky and the view looking up. My background is primarily in drawing, fibers, and conceptual art, and I love using photography as a means of exploring visual textures and patterns in my everyday environment as it harkens to my history with textiles. About This Image: This photograph was taken at the Spring Hill Farm on the Tallgrass Prairie Preserve in Kansas, USA. It features a large ball of barbed wire not unlike a ball of twine or string. I was drawn to the subject matter because of the juxtaposition of a material that is pointy, unwelcoming, and generally seen as somewhat dangerous (especially when rusted like this) with a form that is associated with softness, knitting sweaters, and kittens.

Dominick Williams
Menu Current Volume Archive About Us Submit Categories Dominick Williams I am Dominick Lamar Williams, or “Dahm W.” I’m an African American man, born in July 1996, raised in Long Beach, California. I hold an AA in studio arts from Cypress Community College, focusing on printmaking, and a bachelor’s in studio arts from Cal State University Long Beach, where I focused on printmaking, ceramics and painting. I am currently based in Los Angeles, where my practice is developing through the use of collage and creating with experimental media. Raised in Long Beach and Los Angeles, I am deeply influenced by the cities that shaped me physically, mentally, and spiritually. My experiences and observations fuel my work, which blends abstract realism with contemporary expression. Through mark-making, composition, and visual techniques, I create dialogues about self-worth, identity, and the personal battles we all face. My journey exists in the tension between societal expectations and the need to create authentically. Confronting the painful and joyful truths of my existence through art is what guides my purpose. Art is not just something I do—it is the essence of who I am. I Go to Pieces Legend Of Xanadu
Camille Comer
Menu Current Volume Archive About Us Submit Categories Camille Comer S. Camille Comer is a mixed media sculptor who was born and raised in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Camille makes Fluxus style works about the relationships people share based on the artifacts left in the wake of these connections. She utilizes ubiquitous tools, familial artifacts, found objects, and fabrication to create scenes depicting her feelings towards the person the objects were either purchased, fabricated, or worn by. Camille received her BFA from Middle Tennessee State University in 2022 and is an MFA candidate and 3D/103 instructor at Washington State University in Pullman, Washington. She is expected to graduate in 2026. Camille has shown work at both universities, online at the Las Laguna Art Gallery in Laguna Beach, California, at The Walk in Closet in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, and in the Rotunda of Murfreesboro, Tennessee’s City Hall. She worked as a Metal Shop technician from 2021 through 2023 for Middle Tennessee State University and is currently the Visual Arts Production Coordinator for Tennessee’s Governor’s School for the Arts and has been since 2023. Camille has a public works sculpture that was commissioned by the Cannon County Art’s Center in Woodbury, Tennessee and has had multiple sculptures published in Collage: A Journal of Creative Expression and Blood Orange Review. She currently lives and works in Pullman, Washington, as an Instructor within the Foundations Area, under the Woodshop/Botcave Technician JJ Harty, and the Ceramics Technician Kassie Smith. Artist Statement: “Oh FUCK, I’m pregnant!” was the first thought that provoked the start of my current work. Relationships are consequential, especially parent and child dynamics, so this is what I began thinking about in terms of my own childhood. How have I been shaped by those around me? How do the objects I find to be sentimental define my bonds with those who raised me? Can I use my past to connect to those around me with only artifacts of my existence? I am working on being surrounded by interior thoughts that create portals into my past through found and fabricated objects and tools that tie together my experiences with those of the masses. In my experience, people generally understand movement and connection, whether physical or representational, through objects of their past, so why can’t I use objects from my past to convey what those ties of kinship have done for me as an adult? I have been comparing how I look at each attachment and which direction these memories have taken me. Representing my intimate dependance with my grandparents is where I’ve begun, starting in a very linear direction that moves towards my parents, mentors, and siblings from here.

GJ Gillespie
Menu Current Volume Archive About Us Submit Categories GJ Gillespie GJ Gillespie is a collage artist living in a 1928 farmhouse overlooking Oak Harbor on Whidbey Island, WA. A prolific artist with 22 awards to his name, his work has been exhibited in 65 shows and appeared in more than 167 publications. Beyond his studio practice, Gillespie channels his passion for art by running Leda Art Supply, a company specializing in premium sketchbooks. Whether conjuring vivid collage compositions or enabling other artists through exceptional tools, Gillespie remains dedicated to the transformative power of art. Artist Statement: Blood Orange GJ Gillespie, artist statement corrected In “Legend Of Xanadu” and “I Go to Pieces,” GJ Gillespie explores the rich legacy of mid-century abstraction through a contemporary mixed-media lens. These works draw inspiration from two distinct masters of the era: Arshile Gorky and Paul Burlin, respectively. “Legend Of Xanadu,” influenced by Gorky’s biomorphic style, features cryptic figures and glyphs emerging from a layered composition. In contrast, “I Go to Pieces” channels the spirit of Burlin’s work, offering a different interpretation of mid-century abstraction. Gillespie’s artistic process unifies these diverse influences through a thoughtful amalgamation of materials: charcoal, collage tissue, spray paint, and unconventional elements like spackle and repurposed newspaper advertisements. This approach not only pays homage to the abstract expressionist tradition but also infuses it with a distinctly contemporary sensibility. As both an award-winning artist and the founder of Leda Art Supply, Gillespie’s work reflects a lifelong dedication to the transformative power of art, whether through his own creations or by providing tools for other artists to realize their visions.
