Rachel Linnemann

Through my artwork, I’m sharing stories of trauma that influence my identity and relationships; reflecting on my personal experiences with rape, gaslighting, divorce, and social distancing. All of these experiences have influenced my daily behavior and how I engage with others through defenses that have naturally developed. I am telling the story of recovery, focusing on the strength needed to reclaim one’s self. This work is about letting go of past pain.

Themes of mental health and resilience are conveyed through painting and sculpting by using bold colors, gold, and symbols of defense. I am communicating the dual identity of one living with memories of trauma using imagery that conjures ideas of a delicate form with one meant to defend or attack. At times, this represents the feeling of strength as well as weakness, vulnerability and resilience.I am growing to accept the past and how far one individual can grow.

Petra Schott

This painting stems from a series called ’soul’s web’ and is called „Together". To make the soul’s web visible I work with very fine lines and a reduced scale of colours. In the center of the painting we see the faces of two human figures who seem to be close to each other, one holding the other. The figures are not clearly visible, they remain in their own world and seem to elude the viewer's eye. They seem to be united in a dance with a sweet and crazy melody. The relation and interaction of these two figures is intense, we cannot see where one body ends and the other begins. Fine dark lines connect their bodies and their souls.They seem to rely on each other being deeply connected and being „together“, as the title suggests. Find more of her work @schott.petra

„Rising“

2020

63"x43"

Egg tempera, pigments, graphite, oil pastels on canvas (mounted on a wooden stretcher frame)

$2812.93*

Petra Schott

In this painting we see a dramatic situation formulated with wild brushstrokes in dark colours in the lower part of the painting. A suffering human figure is hidden in the right corner. In the upper part of the painting the colours get lighter and the brushstrokes less rough. Half visible is a face which seems hidden behind some clouds. This figure above seems to be able to rise up and leave the dramatic situation below while even touching the figure below with a helping hand. It may be that these two figures belong together or are even one. For me it means that there is always a possibility of healing and of rising beyond what seems to be reality.

Natalie Wadlington

Two women are on a hike in nature. But nature is highly mediated, by their pricey outdoor apparel brands, their mine craft projections onto the landscape, the saccharine DIY sunset, and the blurry photo from a digital camera as they try to capture the scene of animal copulance before them. They are shocked, in awe of the wonder of nature, or blankly staring like blowup dolls in a landscape as objectified and projected upon as they are.Find more of her work @natalie.wadlington

Puppies

2020

108"x96"

Oil on Canvas

Natalie Wadlington

In “Puppies” (2020) a family comes indoors. The children, wrapped in towels with wet hair, have just emerged from the pool, but they have left a friend behind, a boy swimming alone, seemingly unattended. He’s wearing floaties, with his head barely above the water. Everyone is preoccupied, most notably with the newborn puppies, who similarly swim through a blue blanket to feed on their mother who pants, wide eyed, swirling in thick painted fur and fenced in by OSB board that serves as her nest, her cage, and her gestural, painterly, psychological field. Behind them stands a young woman, her eyes shadowed as she trims a leaf off a money tree. She looks down and past the mother dog and little girl who stares wide-eyed, perhaps in realization of the truth of motherhood. Just beyond them, mother and father gather at the kitchen counter to talk money. Or are they merchant and patron, with the puppies as the commodity? Money is their heavy topic, with drooped shoulders and grave hands, as lives become defined by it. The suburban home is both affluent bliss and potentially dysfunctional, as the sprawling leather sofa and pool signal either economic prosperity or the American dream on loan.Find more of her work @natalie.wadlington

Natalie Wadlington

In “Dinner” (2019), a child looks on as a man guts a fish in a modern kitchen. But this everyday scene is on the verge of collapse, as the marble counter tips forward and the fillet knife threatens to fall right off the surface. In the backyard, domesticity loses its grasp against the wild mountain lion who makes off with the pet dog for its own dinner. Predator and prey loop in circles. As urban sprawl expands ever further to dominate landscapes, power is ceded back to nature in subtle cycles. Find more of her work @natalie.wadlington

Clara Bolle

I see my writings and paintings as ways to explore the world around me. My main research question is: What does it mean to be your body instead of having a body? The way we view our body is generally based on a biomedical and capitalistic model. I want to explore new and old ways to experience our bodies, for example in mythology. When I was a child I told my mother my own birth story. Not my mother and father created me but I myself choose her to become my mother. In my story I was floating as a baby in heaven

and I saw my mother wanting a baby so I gave myself to her. The object of desire became the subject of desire. I am my own creator. Find more of her work @clarabolle

fold the cloth

2019

36"x60"

Acrylic and oil on canvas

Cassia Powell

This work in question is part of a series in which I break down the complicated and intimate relationships with family members during a time of sickness, heartbreak, and trauma. Using surreal depictions of the idea of the “self”, as well as a few other bold symbols, fold the cloth is a loose translation of the intimate discomfort felt between family in the presence of a seemingly omnipotent maternal figure. Using pink chains as a symbol of femininity and claustrophobia, and a heavily patterned fabric of the skirt and a picnic-blanket-like background, this work gives off an ambiguous ambience relating to childhood nostalgia, fear, and a cynical sort of humour.

Acrylic and oil on canvas

Cassia Powell

This work is another in series in which I break down the complicated and intimate relationships with family members during a time of sickness, heartbreak, and trauma. This time, a depiction of two vulnerable, saddened sisters, comforting each other in a room full of potent imagery strongly associated with memories from the early 2000s. Using clothing and patterns inspired by fashion and toys from late 90s and early 00s, and use of the floating, almost ectoplasmic chains as a claustrophobic, comically other-worldly force; ur cocoon radiates childhood nostalgia combined with modern day problems in an awkward, relatable and humorous way.Find more of her work @cassiapowell

This small series of paintings evolved from sketches which transcended into a kinky universe of colour and attraction to the paint. an urban and abstract expressionist take on constructing fetishism through contemporary art. Banishing delicacy and replacing it with a rough chaos forming a detailed yet striking visual representations of deep kink.

Anne Spooner

My artistic practice involves a spontaneous approach highlighting several themes in an ongoing manner. It is a response to critical far-reaching life experiences. My paintings highlight my role in place and time. Fanciful childhood daydreams, birds, hidden musical themes, parental loss, the divine feminine, illness and recovery, my work is a plethora of reflections. Both lucky breaks and cruel fates.
