Letha Wilson is a mixed media artist who was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, raised in Colorado, and currently lives in Brooklyn, New York. Letha Wilson is known for combining photography with industrial materials like concrete and steel. Wilson cuts, tears and shapes her photographs, pushing and pulling the prints into place and then encases portions of the composition in cement. Using architecture and three-dimensionality as both frame and armature, Wilson reclaims the photographic image, exploring the medium’s inability to encompass the site it represents.
“MY ARTWORK INVESTIGATES RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN ARCHITECTURE AND THE NATURAL LANDSCAPE, AND THE NAVIGATION OF BOTH URBAN AND WILDERNESS SPACES.”

Felicity Hammond is an emerging artist who works across photography and installation. Fascinated by political contradictions within the urban landscape her work explores construction sites and obsolete built environments. In specific works Hammond photographs digitally manipulated images from property developers’ billboards and brochures and prints them directly onto acrylic sheets which are then manipulated into unique sculptural objects.
“THE WORK DOESN’T JUST COME OUT OF MY IMAGINATION. IF I AM GATHERING ALL THESE IMAGES AND RETURNING TO THESE LANDSCAPES AGAIN AND AGAIN, I’M ENGINEERING THE OUTCOME THAT BECOMES HYPER-REAL. MY WORK DEFINITELY COMES FROM MY MEMORY, AND THE SIGNS AND SYMBOLS I CREATE; A SPACE FOR MOURNING, TRAGEDY AND MORE.”
