The panel discussion will focus on the artists' use of transitory materials to fabricate models that can be manipulated as they work, their creative processes, and how small things inspire their paintings, photographs, and video art.New York artist Amy Bennett uses cardboard, foam, wood, paint, glue, and model railroad miniatures to construct fictional scale models that serve as an evolving still life for her detailed narrative paintings.
Lori Nix and Kathleen Gerber, a creative team based in Cleveland, OH, create complex dioramas that are transformed into archival pigment prints, focusing on the impact humans are having on our world.
Carol K. Rasaphangthong creates homicide scenes in miniature that she uses as models for storytelling videos.
