1. Coming Through

Zan Knecht / Grand Rapids, MI

“Coming Through” symbolizes coming through any challenge that the viewer can reflect upon—weathered, honed, strong or beautiful. The experience of crossing through a gateway, be it for a time or passing though as a stronger and more resilient individual with newfound grace, is exhilarating and a venture completed. This sculpture is constructed of mild steel which has experienced its own deteriorating journey with its rusted mantel, yet still stands tall and strong.

3. Hippocampus

Fisher Stolz / Peoria, IL

Fisher Stolz’s sculptures become alive as concept addresses mass, space, and time. Hippocampus consolidates memory which leads to the understanding of spatial relationships. Sculpture activates the surrounding space giving physical presence to an idea. Hippocampus derives meaning from the Greek for seahorse. The leaping, twisting hybrid horse-fish with its fluid curves give this work energy and grace.

4. Universal Inseparability

Ben Pierce / Cape Girardeau, MO

Ben Pierce is a veteran and Missouri native who found an outlet for his internal struggle by creating sculpture. “ I Have been living with depression for many years (way before I began making art). Only recently have I begun to speak openly about it with friends and family. A lot of mental illness is suffered in silence- I am choosing to use my art as a way to help others speak up. Maybe someone will hear about this or read this and feel HOPE. You are not alone! Or through my openness about depression it will allow others to not suffer alone by giving them courage to seek help or confide in someone. Maybe this can open that conversation for them. My art/sculptures possibly would not have been created if it weren't for my need to externalize what I go through inside. I hope you find your own voice and can endure any obstacle that comes your way”.

5. Harbinger

Chris Plaisted / New Milford, CT

The artist focuses on forms of conflict that may be man vs. nature, social vs. emotional, or the tension created by the use of contrasting materials. He connects the juxtaposition of varying materials to intensify each element’s properties to produce a more dynamic sculpture. This series, “Chasing Picasso’s Ghost” evokes emotions that have been drawn from my own experiences in travelling and my daily life.

6. Deaccelerator

Steven Maeck// Decorah, IA

The artist’s sculptures are fully or partially composed of iron and steel. The utilization of industrial salvage allows him to alter and recombine elements in a manner that resonates and manifests an aura of being created by raw materials. His relationship with the urban landscape captures the modernist style and gives the viewer a subliminal sense of his environment.

7. We’re Here

Chris Wubbena / Jackson, MO

As an artist, Wubbena fluctuates between interdisciplinary ways and at times, focuses on fabrication of outdoor landmarks or artifacts within found material compositions. This allows for a wide range of expressive capabilities, stretching from monumental to transitory moments. In using graffiti with its accumulation and erosion of text and imagery across surfaces, his sculptures have a contemporary presence in a public arena

8. Chopsticks

Jaci Willis // Peoria, IL

“Chopsticks” pertains to the choices we make and the journeys we wish to share. Sculptures highlight tensions, shine a light on relationships, and convey a message. The distances covered by stainless steel leave openings and voids with the opportunity to fill with the viewers’ own imagination. The artist uses various colors of glass to reflect emotions represented in her work. The elements intertwine and influence each other for a richer basis for the viewers to seek balance and richness in their lives.
