James Michael Starr
Stuck

By relying on found objects he considers beautiful and aged by time, James Michael Starr creates assemblages that invite hours of reflection and introspection. Beautiful, lyrical, dripping with dense iconography and melancholic stories, James Michael Starr explores philosophic pursuits and humanistic endeavors.

Steven Miller
Town & Country

In Town & Country Steven Miller continues his exploration and keen interest in Japanese culture. The small scale landscape paintings are rendered in very precise lines, and color is utilized to emphasize the flatness of the picture plane. His attention to the craft of the objects and to the materials used, lend an Eastern sensibility to the work. Most of the works have multiple parts that make up the whole, and are part painting, part found object and part hand-made clay. The union of the parts is made of disparate images and objects assembled to allow the viewer a broad range of interpretation.

PROJECT ROOM

JADE WALKER
In the House

Jade Walker's In the House series consists of forty fabric kitten-like creatures that are photographed nonchalantly milling in domestic settings. Sociably placed in spare surroundings Walker's work explores social conventions, binaries within gender, spectatorship, abstractions and narrative. Jade Walker received her M.F.A. from The University of Texas at Austin in May of 2005 and has already showed through out Austin and in 2004 had a solo show at the Safulak Gallery in Hsinchu, Taiwan.
