Martin Levine's architectural studies, both urban and rural, pay homage to those structures' effects on the human condition. His hand drawn aquatint etchings and lithographs take months to complete because of the "obsession with detail and intense involvement with every technical aspect of the medium."
Paul Farinacci examines society's standards for living by studying the educational, political, and religious institutions that power it. Embedded within an architectural framework are vignettes which explore the effects of media/technology on the diminishing distinction between public and private life. As viewers peer into these interior spaces, they are confronted by the voyeuristic obsession of contemporary media.
Patricia Mamatos moves between the simple and the complex. She revels in the virtuosity of pencil and pen. Beginning with inspiration from nature, her work moves to the surreal. The graceful lines found in nature are injected with incongruity, producing dreamlike images that are "vaguely uncomfortable but none the less compelling."
