Nora Akino, : “Memory of a Summer Evening.” My work arises from a feeling I often have when encountering nature in all its miraculous beauty: a longing to touch what is profound and mysterious, that is perhaps universal. The images are evocations of nature, refracted through the senses and my own cultural and personal affinities: in particular, the recognition of a boundless presence that permeates the…, - Nora Akino, Nancy Bardach, : “A Song of Ascent,” 64x140) Rather than concrete reality, Bardach’s work tends to explore intangible qualities like light and movement. Color is also vital to her compositions. Color adds mood and emotional tone, lighting contrasts, a sense of movement and depth and, above all, great beauty to a piece. The most exciting pieces are those done quickly, intuitively, chasing a fleeting image ---…, - Nancy Bardach, Techniques, : Curved and straight cutting, machine piecing. Long arm quilting by Angie Wooman, to a pattern of wave-like sunlit texturing designated by the artist. , Materials, : Cotton fabrics including hand-painted batiks from Malaysia (by Turtle Hand); hand-dyes, commercial prints and batiks, batting, thread. , Emily Payne, : “Tumble,” 60x60 Emily Payne uses discarded books as a dominant medium in her work. She sees the aging book, like living things, existing in an ongoing state of decomposition. She mines old books for their parts, and transforms them into collaged, sculptural pieces, giving them new life. In Tumble, Emily cut apart book covers and glued them into a puzzle-like form that served as her canvas. …, JM Golding, : “Reaching for the Light” My work explores the emotional and symbolic significance of the natural world as it reflects internal, subjective experience. Through the photograph, the world outside the person illuminates processes deep inside us that may not be readily accessible to awareness. I often see multilayered aspects of inner worlds in reflection, shadow, and multiple exposures. I work in…, - JM Golding, Mike Henderson, : “No. 43” In his 2017 Parallel Spaces series, Mike Henderson returns to working with acrylic paint for the first time in 45 years. In contrast to his thickly layered oil paintings, Henderson’s application of paint here is sparse, almost sheer at times, framed and sometimes interrupted by negative space. Brightly hued vertical lines recall curtains or blinds, pulling apart here and there to…, - Mike Henderson, Irene Imfeld, : “Zone29_2504” These images of nature show a liminal environment where identity can be difficult to ascribe, between depiction and abstraction. I deliberately compose images in camera to alter later in the studio. My process causes a reduction of recognition but not of complexity. The abstracted imagery offers a unique view of the environment. The prints at Hayward Public Library are from two…, - Irene Imfeld, Barrie Rokeach, : hills, dotted with native oak trees, northeast of Livermore, California Rokeach began his quest in aerial imagery after mastering the complexity of flight and the demands of photography, combining the two pursuits as a means of exercising the ultimate control over the medium. After decades of evaluating the aerial landscape and geomorphology as a metaphor of expression, Rokeach initiated an…, Niambi Kee, : “And on the Fifth Day,” 31x32, And on the Fifth Day, (31x32): , One of several themes that seem to inhabit my art is nature. I am mesmerized by its infinity of colors, textures and mysteries. And on the Fifth Day illustrates this as it attempts to suggest the creatures of the sky and those of the seas. (In between these two worlds are us humans who, in reality, have in comparison, minor differences in color, shape, size, voice. And we spend countless…, - Niambi Kee, Mary Marsh, :, Just Waiting, (23x28 each):, A series of monoprints about reading, commuting and the intersection of mass media and personal habits. A linoleum-cut newspaper is a background for people reading, carved from sketchbook drawings done on my daily commute. Reading is a journey, can be an escape, and is a way to use the time while you are waiting to get somewhere else. I am looking at the quickly changing formats of our media with…, - Mary Marsh, Kevin Keul, : Angled Salt Ponds, Angled Salt Ponds, : There is an inherent tension between beauty and devastation in my work. We have managed to manipulate our environment into shapes, patterns, textures, and colors by means of human consumption, manufacturing and expansion. Through my work, I reflect the physical footprints on our landscape and derive my visual resources and inspiration from satellite images of the earth's surface. Working from…, - Kevin Keul
