Plane of Action explores how artists Kevin Hoth and George P. Perez glitch, deconstruct, and rebuild machine and hand-altered photographs. Both artists distort the legibility of imagery sourced from personal collections, archives, and social media through acts of weaving, cutting, collage, and even burning. These interventions cause the original pictures to lose most of their clarity and undergo an aesthetic reconstruction.
Kristopher Wright’s large-scale artworks intertwine the disciplines of painting and printmaking. Just As I Am features the artist’s latest body of work, filled with color and complexity. Wright is influenced by American iconography, machine diagrams, and personal narratives to create works that explore themes of joy, community, and healing.
Painter, graphic designer, and illustrator Erin Hyunhee Kang is driven by observed spaces of diaspora as metaphors for her life and identity. Kang moved to the United States at the age of 15 and felt a duality and clash between Eastern and Western values. Her work aims to create a kind of middle ground and a further exploration of her identity not only as a Korean American but also as a female, a mother, and a wife.

Body becomes element
Water is a constant theme in Karen Breunig’s vibrant, textural, and emotive works. She often paints herself as a woman in the water and incorporates recurring depictions of buckets, fountains, and pools. She combines these elements with celestial bodies and other human figures to explore the blurred boundary between memory and imagination, the fluidity of emotion, and the fleeting nature of human interaction.
