Deborah Butterfield (b. 1949, lives and works between Bozeman, MT and Holualoa, HI) has dedicated her celebrated practice to the exploration of material and a single subject: the horse. Her celebrated equine sculptures are crafted from found and collected materials such as branches, flowers, and driftwood, which are carefully assembled before the entire work is cast in bronze.

Demetri Broxton’s (b. 1979, lives and works in Oakland, CA) beaded textile works draw from archival photographs and the traditional crafts and materials of his African American and Filipino ancestors, weaving themes of diaspora, cultural memory, and spiritual continuity with Afro-futurist narratives. Sepia-toned images of soldiers, couples, and kin are printed on cotton, which Broxton embellishes with sequins, antique silk, cowrie shells, and glass beads — symbolic materials that carry spiritual and cultural resonance.

Chris McCaw (b. 1971, lives and works in Pacifica, CA) pushes photography beyond conventions, revealing landscapes shaped by geography, astronomy, and his own experimental rigor. His experimental and decidedly analog methods foreground the medium’s essential components, using handmade cameras to generate startlingly inventive photographic forms.

Meghann Riepenhoff (b. 1979, lives and works in Bainbridge Island, WA) creates striking cyanotypes in collaboration with the forces of water and weather, catching the traces of lapping waves, delicate ice crystals, and torrential storms. Each work is literally unique, and evocative of the conditions of its creation.

Matthew Brandt (b. 1982, lives and works in Los Angeles, CA) experiments with labor-intensive photographic processes that connect imagery and material while exploring social and environmental issues. Drawing on the medium’s early, alchemical beginnings, Brandt frequently develops his photographs using materials gathered from the places they represent, extending photography’s indexical function.
