Mary Giehl; My work has taken on themes that I had encountered through my work experience as a Registered Nurse in a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. I had often cared for children after they had been abused, much of my work focuses around this theme. There are hints of darkness and confinement in my installations along with a mixture and balance of playfulness and seriousness.

My work participates in a discussion that analyzes and disentangles specific images of our culture about our children. I have made the decision that my work would not offer that escape into an aesthetic discussion, intellectual diversion, imaginative fantasy, or simple entertainment. I am interested in creating works that educates, agitates and troubles the audience. It is important to captivate the audience to have them bond with the work to create that lasting memory.

Marc-Anthony Polizzi; My work uses a process of reconstruction and unification to examine the domesticated chaos of the post consumer world. This area where the relatively ordered and relatively disordered coexist and interact might seem like a contradiction, considering the more austere and violent sense of chaos. However it is in this gray area in which I construct my work. These installations draw on the history and narrative properties of found objects, to bring out the human connection often lost in the glimmer and glitz of an ever growing material culture.
