​Each artist uses the body to communicate their stories. Stories built over time and experience, told through the wisdom of age expressed politically, metaphysically, and physiology: the eroticized body as a portal into other worlds seen through glass and mirror, the healing of the body, physically and mentally etched into painted abstract forms, the body as metaphorical landscape in pre-film animation," and the body as a political tool in black and white photographs. 
 
All four Artists work both introspectively and socially simultaneously, making their work very unique.
