ARTIST STATEMENT
Wolves holding tea parties in the forest that end in Bacchanalian orgies (“Could I warm up your
cup of lamb’s blood?”) / Filthy children dressed in silk and cashmere snipping thread to the
rhythm of vile, throbbing machines (They, of course, are fed on nothing but treacle and dirt
cake.) / Sacred dance rituals actually performed by the gold foiled bone exposed relics (held in
place with jewel-toned thread, scraps of trash and bubble gum) / Velvet salon conversations by
rotting pieces of wood with monocles and spats (“I say old chap that witches butter fungus on
your clavicle is delightful!”)
Absurdities, contradictions, opposites, amuse and frighten me – things whimsical and
macabre, glamorous and rotten, strong and vulnerable, natural and constructed, erotic and
innocent: strict Victorian decorum and ferocious punk rock dances. I like things in the uncanny
realm of attraction and repulsion. Most of my work takes on the aspects of childhood;
particularly dolls through a lens of a cherished nightmare, and identity as these
little cherubs are all some sort of self-portrait. One of the inspirations for my adoration
of competing dualities comes from a through enjoyment and loathing of socially constructed
performances of gender and femininity.

ARTIST STATEMENT
My current work represents an encounter with the shrinking private-public distinction and its
impact on the domain of the sacred in a technosavvy world. This encounter takes form
through paintings and installations that explore the Hindu and Buddhist practices of creating
sacred spaces for personal worship. The puja or personal shrine is more than just a material
representation of items of worship but rather expresses a series of rituals and objects that
carve out a sacred space in which devotion takes place not only through verbal prayers, but
also a visual encounter and dialogue, darsan, between the object and its seer. It becomes a
way of seeing the sacred, of experiencing it and palpably touching it by means strictly of its
visual representation. In my Puja series, I re-interpret this practice and the experience of
darsan to investigate tensions in contemporary practices such as web-based social networks,
communities, and forms of communication. These practices appear to expand the public at
the expense of annihilating the private: one’s everyday experiences are up for public
consumption. In this expansion, however, I also see fruitful tensions that speak to what might
be a new modern phenomenon, the emergence of a public sacred and an accompanying new
practice of darsan. Through sites like facebook, one’s everyday experiences become privy to
the gentle and not so gentle eye of the public by way of the content but also importantly the
images that create a dialogue between friends and acquaintances. In the process, we create a
private space that is at once also public and also sacred. Working with these themes allows
me to express my own attempts to navigate the public and the private divide and to challenge
representations of my art and my identity as an artist. My public identification, my name, says
nothing of my own heritage (my name is Toby Barnes, but I'm Thai-American). Neither does
the public identification of my art as “Asian art” or “Asian-American art.” For me it is important
to explore and challenge what it means to be an Asian artist and do Asian art. Does it attach
itself to a specific nationality (e.g. Japanese, Chinese, Thai, etc)? Or to an experience? How
does the label include and exclude? By working through both religious and technological
themes which are taken to occupy two different registers (religious, as the private, technology
as the public), and through iconography that is largely pan-Asian I attempt to investigate these
questions.

PHILIPPE LEJEUNE
BIO
PHILIPPE LEJEUNE was born in Garches, France in 1951. In 1970, he gained entrance to the
Academie Julian in Paris. In 1971, he was accepted at the ENSAD (Ecole Superieure Des Arts
Decoratifs) in Paris. There he studies engraving under Yves Heude and Marcel Fiorini. From
1974-76, he apprenticed at the printmaking studio Mario Boni, Paris, where he met the
reknowned illustrator Jean-Michel Folon, who invited him to work with him. From 1977-84, he
was Folon’s engraver, translating Folon’s vision into the medium of print; gaining an
international reputation for his mastery of Aquatint Technique. Prints exhibited at The
Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY, for a show titled “Folon’s Folon.” In 1984, Philippe moved to
Westport, Connecticut, where he became an etching artist in his own right, published
exclusively by Cavliero Fine Arts in New York. In 1987, he branched into painting and
sculpture, exploring the relationship of primary colors within space. Between 1988 and 1992,
he was commissioned to create outdoor aluminum sculptures for private estates and public
spaces, both in the US and France. The city of Stamford commissioned seven wood, glass,
and mirror pieces for the Bank Street Program at the Toquam School. In 1992, he returned to
France, where he developed a new approach. Site-specific installations challenged the
viewer’s perceptions by juxtaposing reality with virtual images, blurring the line between “what
is” and “what is not.” He was invited to experiment with these concepts at the Centre d’Art
Contemporain de la Ferme du Buisson in Marne-la Vallee, as well as in schools, museums and
public spaces in and around Paris, using his art as a teaching tool for expanding the
awareness of children and adults alike. In 1996, he moved with his family to Cape Cod and
started quietly painting trees on plywood. In 1998, in addition to the plywood forest, Philippe
presented Le Cube, an innovative concept in interactive art education, which was used in the
French school system. Since 1999, has been experimenting with the new digital technology
within the traditional photographic approach, transforming still images into virtual animations.
From 1999 – 2011 was an adjunct Art Teacher at Cape Cod Community College. Also created
and taught hybrid online art classes and a video blogging class. 2010 – present working fulltime developing the “Glass Project,” a new approach to Images in real spaces and in real-time.
Installations and art performances provoking the public to be more physically engaged.
Working more toward social issues we face today, and less within the art market. For more
info about Philippe Lejeune, visit www.projeqt.com/tiil.
ARTIST STATEMENT
The subject is in the support.
When considering the support being often neutralized in painting, I choose to paint on
“manufactured wood,” and like a sculptor working in relation to his material, I work toward
painting something that is more about the origin, or the nature of the material, and less about
only the artist’s expression.
I find plywood to be an infinitely open and intriguing medium. Whereas canvas is passive,
wood is warm. Like the markings and stratification of the sculptor’s marble, the unique knots,
veins, textures, and patterns of the wood’s grain become integral factors in the painting’s
composition and imagery, as if the dead tree is suggesting the creation of a new tree ~ an echo
of the original ~ and a comment on the very nature of the supporting medium. The knots of the
plywood dictate the trunks and limbs and branches of the tree, but the composition is
decidedly abstract – you never see a complete tree.
The background is simple ~ I use black paint or sometime even dirt ~ nothing distracts from
the tree.
Unlike painting, where the brushstroke of the artist become more apparent the closer one gets
to the canvas, the closer you get to the plywood, the more you see the tree. The hand of the
artist disappears.

PAUL MYODA
BIO
Paul Myoda is a sculptor based in the woods of Chepachet, Rhode Island. Myoda is inspired by the
underlying logic and mathematical principles of the natural world and applies them to his work with new
media, technology and industrial materials. The result is compositions of light, motion, and form that find
a balance and a beauty between the organic and the built. Regularly exhibited both nationally and
internationally, his sculptures and installations are known for their elegance and their expression of
organic forces through artificial materials and systems.
A graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design and Yale University, Myoda is recognized as an artist,
designer, critic and educator. Based in NYC from 1990-2006, Myoda was represented by the Friedrich
Petzel Gallery, and was co-founder of Big Room, an art production and design collective in New York
City. He was also a contributor to Art in America, Flash Art and Frieze. He is a recipient of grants from
the National Endowment for the Arts, Warhol Foundation and Howard Foundation, among others. In
2001 he participated in the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council’s World Views Program and had a studio
on the 91st floor of WTC I. In March of 2002 he co-created the Tribute in Light in memory of the tragic
events of September 11th, 2001, which has since become an annual installation. He was an adjunct
professor at The City College of New York and has been in Brown University's Visual Art Department
since 2006.
Myoda's most recent work, Glittering Machines, is a series of interactive illuminating sculptures that
respond to the presence of viewers. Their design is informed by bioluminescent fauna, crystal
morphology and computational geometry. An example of hybrid arts practice and cybernetic sculpture,
the series bridges the disconnections and eases the anxieties of the post-industrial world through affect,
presence and responsive gesture. His works are part of the collections of the Queens Museum of Art,
Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Miami and the Library of
Congress. He has had solo exhibitions of Glittering Machines at the Dorsch Gallery in Miami, the Project
4 Gallery in Washington DC, and the Yellow Peril Gallery in Providence, RI. For more info about Paul
Myoda, visit www.paulmyoda.com.
ARTIST STATEMENT
In 2008, I began a new body of work and give it a name – Glittering Machines. This name was inspired
by a small watercolor by Paul Klee that I admire because of its strong suggestion of interactivity with the
viewer, and the relationship it sets up between sound and form.
Klee’s painting is titled Twittering Machine and I think its strength has to do with synesthesia, the
condition in which stimulation in one sensory pathway leads to automatic experiences in a second
sensory pathway.
Klee’s painting causes us to hear what is shown, and in so doing underscores a sense of time within the
experience of the work. This sense is further suggested by the hand-crank driven mechanical
apparatus, poised as if awaiting the viewer’s interaction.
While Klee’s painting works on a representational level, I wanted my Glittering Machines to physically
come alive, to both trigger and provide different sensory experiences, and to be literally responsive to
their viewers in real-time, actual spaces.

ARTIST STATEMENT
I have always been interested in the body as a vessel capable of containing our life
experiences within itself, sometimes in mysterious and subtle ways, other times more
forcefully.
In recent years, my work explores the relationship between our essence and our surroundings,
the impact of stereotypes and cultural constructions, always taking as a reference our
instinctual selves and the ways in which the primal component of our nature is affected by the
new and ever changing contexts of contemporary life.
Although seldom conveying violence explicitly, my work is very much concerned with the
veiled but insidious violence that permeates the personal, social and political systems in which
we live.

LISA PEREZ
BIO
Working with various materials and methods, Lisa Perez’s art embraces an ambiguity that
confronts the defined boundaries between painting, sculpture and installation.
Her abstractions evolve from a perspective that recognizes our limited attention spans in a
hyper-speed culture, where much slips into the margins of our everyday experience.
The work beckons a slowing down, a nod to the appreciation of paying attention. With this
focus there is the possibility of a heightened awareness of the elasticity of time and a
recognition of the power in the seemingly mundane.
Perez received her MFA from the University of California, Berkeley and currently lives and
works in Providence, RI. Recent exhibitions of her work were installed at the David Winton Bell
Gallery at Brown University, Emerson Dorsch Gallery in Miami, FL and The Chazan Gallery in
Providence, RI.

JESSICA DEANE ROSNER
BIO
B. 1960
Reading and writing are closely related to JESSICA DEANE ROSNER’s art making process. In
her recent work The Ulysses Glove Project, Rosner refers to the 265,000 words by James
Joyce in his epic text that was considered filthy and obscene in the United States and originally
unfit for publication in the United Kingdom. Yellow rubber gloves become the clean, simple
substrate for the myriad of calligraphic characters that represent the once-perceived muck of
Joyce’s literature. On a personal level, Rosner’s journey with this impressive and ambitious
work, is an ode to her late father whose favorite book was Ulysses and whose content and
meaning Rosner struggled to grasp until this adventure and journey.
Jessica Deane Rosner currently lives and works in Rhode Island. She received an artist
residency and fellowship from the McDowell Colony, NH, and a Bishop Frances S. Merrit
Scholarship from the Haystack Mountain School of Crafts, ME. Rosner was awarded first prize
by juror Judith Tannenbaum, Curator of Contemporary Art, RISD at the Center City Gallery for
Contemporary Art.
ARTIST STATEMENT
I was raised in Manhattan. I didn't have any particular art training in my various schools but I
did take classes and my first direction in the art world was geared towards crafts, which then
and now is for some reason not considered to be fine art. I got my undergraduate degree at the
Cleveland Institute of Art, in Ohio and my major was enameling, which seemed like a good idea
at the time. After college I moved back to NYC for a time and while I was there had the good
fortune to show my work at the only all enamels gallery in the city, called Spring Street
Enamels. I sold work there, also helped to hang shows, give and take classes and bask in the
greatness of the owner, Joan Itzcovitz.
Eventually I moved on to a more formal job as a jeweler and after around five years of all work
and no play, to say nothing of little time for my own art, I moved to Cranston, RI. I truly thought
I would only stay a year, just to get a lot of work done, meet some new people, find myself a
little. That was in 1986. I am still here, in Cranston.
I worked with enamels until I realized that I was trying very hard to make them look like
drawings. Eventually the craft got in the way of the image I was after, so with much melancholy
I put away my kiln and worked more with pen and ink. I’d always like using a mechanical
drawing pen for everything from writing to sketches to complete drawings, but when I decided
that was my medium I treated the work more seriously and for many years struggled to figure
out what sort of drawings I wanted to do.
Eventually I was able to come up with two distinct bodies of work that satisfy my love of
narrative combined with text, and my admiration of purely abstract work that while simple in
form is not simple. In both genres I like my work to show my hand and to illustrate a certain
density of page, so that even if all there is, is line, there will be many of them and the final
image with be as complete an exploration of line I can achieve.
Between these two sorts of imagery I've found that I haven't run out of ideas. My opus of
line/imagery/text was my Diary Project, which combined every sort of style I like into a single
seventy-two part artwork. It took me around four years to complete, from start to finish, and
has been shown in Providence and in Massachusetts at the DeCordova Museum. All 72
drawings are included in a self published, limited edition book.
I continue to make abstract drawings using primarily ink and exhibit these at galleries in
Boston, Rhode Island and New York.
I have stayed in Rhode Island and will always have a love/hate relationship with this state. I
love my family and my friends. I think this place allows me to find time to work and to easily
meet supportive curators and gallerists who have helped me refine, aspire, and exhibit.

BIO
b. New Orleans, LA
BRADLEY WESTER recently moved his studio from Brooklyn NY to Bristol RI, about 30
minutes southeast of Providence and north of Newport. His 990SF studio is located in
the old Byfield schoolhouse on the town green, complete with old slate chalkboards.
He spends his time between Rhode Island and New York. For 10 years previous to
DISCOurse, Wester worked on a project called, "Ephemera & Culture: Italy, Turkey,
and Japan-a Trilogy," where he lived and worked in three disparate but geographically
symmetrical cultures, resulting in three connected bodies of work. Solo & group shows
in the U.S. & Europe, most recent at Margalef & Gipponi in Antwerp. Awards: Specialist
Fulbright to Kyoto Japan, 2 MacDowell Fellowships, Pollock-Krasner Grant. He taught
an interdisciplinary course on color last winter at RISD. Visiting Artist credits: CalArts
Los Angeles, Dartmouth College New Hampshire, Sint Lucas Antwerp, Kyoto
University of Art & Design, The American Academy in Rome, & a recent 3-year Visiting
Artist faculty position at Ringling College of Art & Design. Wester has designed theatre
sets for Off-Broadway & in Los Angeles for writer/director Eve Ensler of ‘Vagina
Monologues’ fame, producers Mike Nichols, Fox Television, The Promenade Theatre,
LaMama, Music Theatre Group in NYC, & The Court Theatre in LA. His work was seen
in an Adam Sandler film. He performed in a Robert Wilson production at Lincoln Center
& created his own performances at venues such as The Kitchen & PS1. For more info

ARTIST STATEMENT
In a mirror queerness can hide. Even with the advantage of a rear view, queer’s reflection may
not necessarily appear queer. Unlike the way skin color, for example, is always revealed. What
the ‘straight’ mirror makes visible then is the surface of things in the here and now; it reflectsconfirms what we already know, or think we know in the present: straight time.*
The spinning mirror disco ball creates a fractured, multiplicity of moving reflections in the round
that are then scattered onto limitless chance surfaces—dizzying, exotic, ‘queer’ mirror, a
pixelated globe. It reflects what it sees behind, in front, up, down, all around, even what we
can’t see, breaking that into fragments with borders that are re-contoured by the surfaceshape it’s reflected upon. Here, even a straight reflection is made queer.
It is in the interstices of society, the spaces in-between, androgynous spaces, where
potentiality lies. The site of DISCOurse, like all cross-border economies, is where ideas and
materials are hybridized and repurposed, where culture, commerce, and the imagination
anticipate a future diverse: queer time.*
This body of work entitled DISCOurse, uses custom made reflective Mylar pegboard as the
conductive substrate for other materials and objects such as smaller paintings, disco balls,
digital prints, found photos, holographic tape, tube lights, pipe cleaners, leather, and chain to
be attached and arranged. The evenly perforated panels are like large computer motherboards
each with a unique ‘form factor’ by which the connected components or circuits communicate.
Mirrored, the mother-pegboard makes all external reflections components too. The reflected
images appear to be rasterized into a bitmap of 1’s and 0’s when the formal grid of pegboard
holes acts as a dot matrix inside the image. So one’s reflection becomes part of the piece,
made further corrupt as it is interpolated into the other layers of the work. One such layer that
often appears on the surface of these panels are images of digital glitches—failed images of
pure pixilation, referring to both the pegboard and the mirrored disco balls as analogue predigital rendering devices.
Each piece performs like the mirror in a single-lens reflex camera, or a micro view of a silver
gelatin print, expanding new directions in photography. And in painting: Re-imagined in the age
of information and digital reproduction, painting is liberated here not just from the static
pictorial field of the canvas-container, but also from ever having to complete itself. Here the
work contains, and therefore is contingent with, whatever is in front of it—the viewer, other
works nearby, the room itself. The total picture, if you will, can only be formalized in live time,
moving through space, only to change again, forever precarious.
This work relies on a ‘process-as-knowing’ methodology. Knowledge and invention is
contingent on the properties of the materials used and how they act when acted upon by
various processes and relational configurations. Materials are often cheap, quotidian; some
processes simple, transparent. Both are meant as an everyday means to more complex
information-age conditions, modes and paradigms, such as: precarity, reflexivity, contingency,
immateriality, hybridity, heterogeneity, failure/glitch, repurpose/hacking. But the work stands
against literal explication of these contemporary ideas, as they are decidedly aestheticized.
DISCOurse is emphatic that art lie between the space of “knowledge production” and notknowing—proto knowledge. It also refuses a critical discursive of the present that takes the
form of complaint or condescension. DISCOurse imagines, in the here and now, a (queer)
utopian futurity that is diverse, optimistic, joyous and fun—it puts the disco back into critical
discourse.
*DISCOurse owes a debt to the book, Cruising Utopia: The Then and There of Queer Futurity,
by José Esteban—for the ideas confirmed and inspired there. And to my fellows at the
inaugural ‘Summer Forum for Inquiry and Exchange’ a nomadic text and discussion-based
residency held in New Harmony, Ind. in the summer of 2012.
**This new body of work circles back to some of the ideas in my early work as a performance
artist in New York during the East Village scene of the 1980’s. The term ‘Genderfuck,’ coined in
the 70’s and coming out of the identity politics movement, loosely describes the objective of
those performances, to “fuck with” notions of gender and to explore the androgynous, inbetween spaces of possibility. Two of the most resolved of those performances were
“Re:Gender (Scape),” a solo performance with film, sound, and movement at The Kitchen
Center, and “Arousing Reconstructions,” a collaborative performance/dance piece with Diane
Torr at St. Marks Danspace.
***The reflective and/or silver surface has appeared in my work for over 25 years. It can be seen
increasingly in all three sections of my recent ten-year trilogy described in an earlier statement
below. But the mirror as an image/idea made its debut in performance work as early as
undergraduate school. In a performance called “Water Mirror” the stage was divided in half by a
simple tapeline. The action (which included film projections) began on one extreme side of the
stage and continued until it crossed the centerline where the same action repeated but in an
exact mirror of itself. Another simple piece was two three-minute side-by-side film projections
shot in 16mm, using stationary cameras outside of and focused on the entrance façade of the
main New York Public Library and the main public library of the small town of my undergrad
school. Two filmmakers shot the films at the exact time on the exact day.
Postscript:
My work has evolved into a hybrid-practice that combines painting, drawing, collage,
sculpture, and digital imaging into larger works/installations with particular and unique
reference to color and light and to physical space. I participate in the expansion of painting’s
boundaries while traversing them in three specific content areas: Transparent-Mystery:
Transforming unlikely everyday materials into art with limited alteration so as to remain
recognizable as they inexplicably begin to appear mysterious and opaque; Fragment-Whole:
Creating large wall, floor, and/or table ‘painting’ installations that first appear as a single whole,
but which then appear to break down into relational object-clusters, which break down further
still into distinguishable and separate parts, only to reverse again into the one larger visual
whole; Time-Continuum: Making diverse cultural references that link the historical with
contemporary; Altering older work and combining it with new. And, as in a recent solo in New
York, visually and conceptually linking my current exhibition with one from my past, as well as
linking it with the gallery’s previous and future exhibits.

ANDREW PAUL WOOLBRIGHT
BIO
ANDREW PAUL WOOLBRIGHT earned his MFA in Painting from Rhode Island School
of Design in 2014. Woolbright examines his subjects in a transitional moment. He
depicts the contours, imperfections, and beauty distinct to an individual face by
gradating the color and dripping the paint. Portraying many of his subjects with closed
eyes or a downward-cast gaze, the viewer is directed to an uncommon, yet
gratifying viewpoint. For more info about Woolbright, visit andrewwoolbright.com.
ARTIST STATEMENT
“When a fantasy object can be imagined (an object from inner space) enters our ordinary reality,
the texture of ordinary reality is twisted, distorted. This is how desire inscribes itself into reality by
distorting it. Desire is a wound of reality.” – Slavoj Zizek
Using myself and my wife as subjects within my work, I am building a continuing narrative
made of uncanny and alternate realities. When I met my wife, I found myself able to return to
an optimism, sincerity, and sentiment that I eventually recognized as pre 9/11. I realized that
sentiment has the ability to recover previously disengaged models and inscribe itself as a form
of time travel. Utilizing bathos, heroic history painting, and the visual language of romanticism I
am engineering a sequential narrative that reexamines a previous time through alternate reality.
Each painting exists within a progressing, mythological timeline. This time favors Clinton era
American optimism, love, and sentiment in opposition to the millenarianism, nihilism, irony,
slacktivism, failed neo-liberalism, and the resurgence of cultural conservatism we are currently
experiencing.
Together, my wife and I are undergoing an evolutionary change as we transition into becoming
moving shrines. We move quietly as stoic heaps. Adorned with the horded aesthetics of love
we traverse new landscapes built of old paintings. Banal settings are reconfigured into sites of
fantastic investigation. We become furshluggined by our own love-festooned; less human with
each progressive painting and more armature for our mutual adornment. We are shrinebeasts.
We offer our identity into a system of exchange with nature, each other, and the landscapes we
navigate. We are going through a reverse reification. We are in transition towards each other
through accumulation, projection, and encoding.
I am asserting sentiment as an act of political engagement. I am testing whether the adoption
of a Chagallian avantgarde, as opposed to the avant-garde timelines proposed by Duchamp or
Picasso, can become an act of political resistance. I am advocating for an emotional
intelligence that is critical for society’s progress and posing sentiment as a means to initiate a
form of active resistance to the depersonalized landscapes of cynical post-capitalism.
Art has been known to initiate time travel. The right Correggio or Watteau can return us to a
forgotten time and enact a form of intergenerational empathy. In embracing this unique ability
within art as a culture, we can then hope to reapproach politics from the refreshed vantage
points of unused nordic tracs and other romantic artifacts.
