Riushi Mazda practices the art of Nōtan, which is a Japanese technique meaning "light dark harmony". His studies explore different arrangements of light and dark elements within the design. Through an intense questioning, and in the freedom of image invention via the beauty of the technique, he allows for an interplay between the black and white paper. Each piece is a meditation, a grasping – a search for meaning and balance.

Ivan Akah and Aleister Manah's work uses the "Exquisite Corpse" technique. Together, they explore the possibilities via the unconscious mind. Through cognitive, physical and visual processing, they move together through and past immediate sources toward broader implications, while hopefully offering space for contemplation, reflection and understanding. Allowing connections to surface slowly and organically, each mixed media composition is formed and re-formed, finding its place between absence and presence and between the specific and the universal.

Metra Mitchell's recent series features archetypal characters that appear in many guises within staged theatrical environments. Her construct of these identities truly reflects the social, economic and ethnic histories that have formed her. Unpacking this constellation of imagery carries a strong emotional charge, conjuring a complex process of transformations. This metamorphosis involves the human body- a living presence that may take on different shapes and forms. Concealed identities, masks and other disguises reflect a lack of certainty, but also encourages play.
