Artists' statements:

Brenda Dunn explores the grid formations of our farmlands, incorporating a ‘drones eye view’ as a primary base in a series she refers to as Architectonics. Dunn layers colourful squares of ink and watercolour in imitation of a patchwork landscape viewed from above. Overlayed are ink drawings of buildings and gridwork, a playful representation of the very real pressure of urban sprawl.

A.M. Benz creates some sort of dimensional space for each of her pieces, whether it is a physical dimension of a raised section or an implied depth through the use of negative space. Her materials are chosen and placed in specific spots to catch the light in order to simulate energy movement across the span of each composition.
