Raychael Stine’s “Vision paintings” are representations; they are pictures of distilled sensate experiences. Stine calls them ‘pictures of a witness’ but they are not obvious - they are dream like ‘visions’, marking a transitional space between material and picture, object, image and painting. “Vision paintings” explore the inside and outside of the body of work at the same time, without the presumed subject. Leena Similu’s “keepers” are heads and vessels forged in clay and glazed,they explore and contain the artists story-telling myths and family secrets as handed down to her via her family.
