Haim Steinbach
For the past 30 years, Haim Steinbach has been exploring the theme of the shelf, that humble device used for the display of objects. Like a contemporary archaeologist, he uses shelves to present things taken from daily life. His works underline the aesthetic aspects of the objects, somehow highlighting each elements erotic value.
Anya Gllaccio
Gallaccio's work is primarily concerned with nature, beauty and decay, often using ephemeral materials with which she references the cyclic nature of life and death. The works' multi-sensory and experimental aspects allow the viewer to engage with the rich tactile elements as well as the conceptual grounding of each piece. The works are often in a permanent state of flux, and are displayed in a variety of settings.

Scott Gengelbach
"My work is a combination of experimentation and frustration-
experimentation through the manipulation of everyday objects and nontraditional methods; frustration towards all of the political and social injustice in the world."

Chris Toombs
"Chris's art is driven by the world around him and is composed of whatever materials are at his fingertips. His media of choice is airbrushing followed by sculpting with plastics and mixed media... His very first shoes were a pair of canvas slip-on Vans that where a homage to his favorite pop artist Roy Lichtenstein. They became a hit at every event and soon after Chris realized that this pair of shoes would be the first of many more to come."
