Donald Graham Hershey loves "the mystery, the unknown, the supernatural, the ghosts."
His collection of works, "surreal moving pictures and flat images," determines a narrative that is " a kind of 'choose your own adventure' story." Donald Graham Hershey has "no explanation to guide those who witness [his] work."

"The Enemy Within"
Years ago, Aubrey Rhodes "walked away from academia and the literary arts and began painting full-time."
She declares:
"On canvas I could employ symbolism and innuendo much more immediately and with more freedom than I could on a page restricted to 26 letters, black and white, and the rules of grammar."

"Tens of thousands of wildebeests pushing and shoving to cross the river..."
Susannah Kay, on the wildebeest migration process:
"Once most make it to a side, the lone calves cross back and forth again and again, trying to reconnect with their mothers from whom they have been separated in this brutal process. Those who cannot successfully reach the top succumb to nature's way and end up dying from injury or being eaten..."

"Mom and Bill"
Laura Makinen, on her work:
"Although most of the people in these old images are gone from this world, they reach out from the past and affect me."
" I see my work as similar to that of a dj. I am a visual sampler; I search through piles of [photographic] images to find those that resonate the most, then alter and present them to the world in a new form."

Sara Seinberg, on her submission:
"I remember in 2001 how I realized that for Americans, the sky would never be the same"...
"in New York and in Washington DC, our buildings fell. For days there were no planes overhead, just traveling birds, and we watched in loops on our televisions or out our windows as fax machines and bodies clamored to the ground. We watched as people jumped, windows exploded, glass heaved itself in daggers at pedestrians. We finally became members of civilization while the newsmen of the world hurled expletives at the people on those flying planes. We took our place in the post traumatic stress of the sky. We would never again look up in the same way. That was a beginning. That was a new way to be. And the birds have never looked more majestic."

About his work, Gregory Bartlett states:
"Being one that is small and compact in size, I find myself often gravitating towards the tiny and delicately detailed in life. My current investigations and studies are of urban landscapes that are intimate in gesture, obsessively detailed, and mostly mundane in nature."

JULIO BADEL
"Plate 3: Dissection of the Neck" is from a collaborative collage series by
Julio Badel and Chelsea Rae Klein.
"Our personal knowledge of our internal organs, nerves and tissue is wanting/lacking/insufficient. We use our bodies continuously and yet throughout our lifetime, for the most part, we have no understanding of how it functions. This series combines both our naivete and our want to understand: the beauty of anatomy, mathematics in nature and the irony of our vanity."

Grand Canyon-Carmel Tunnels, Haifa
from the series “Disintegration of a Revived Nation”
Yaniv Waissa works and lives in Jerusalem, but his “photographic journeys lead [him] across [Isreal].”
“Wherever I go I examine the relationship between man and nature and the, sometimes absurd, connection and constant tension between past, present and future”… “Everywhere I go I recognize a personal memory that can ignite a collective memory of the viewer. “

Keri-Anne Pink has an
"obsession with fairytales and anything nostalgic."
She states that her photographic intent is to capture childhood memories and innocence.

"The Personal Injuries Archive"
"The Personal Injuries Archive is a collection of self-sabotaging emotionally deformed states, such as self-pity, self-hatred, and disbelief in oneself. Its purpose is to portray the uncertainties of our mechanics as humans and to centralize our disconcerting need to sabotage what we really want to do and how little we believe in ourselves subconsciously - and indeed consciously. "
See more of Ville Kansanen's work here.
From the Series "Unnatural Curiosities."
"Unnatural Curiosities is a series of still life images composed of an amalgamation of everyday objects arranged into a new context—- a context symbolic of our hidden desires, motivations, and anxieties. Each image contains objects gathered from various contexts. Most items have been discarded, lost, or previously hidden. They are then assembled into their own distinctive visual eloquence with the objective to create something greater than their individual meanings."
