Katelyn’s work has a lot in common with traditional fairytales. They deal with archetypes and involve traditional roles of the good, the bad and the kind helper. These memories of make believe have animals, people and monsters as characters. Strange and magical things happen in these tales; animals speak, trees walk and humans fly. Like in traditional tales these have some shocking and gruesome elements.

“Brother” Mitch Myers was born and raised in the city of Bloomington, he has known no other home except for the one where his heart is. “I really like animals and good music”, he says. This is his last semester as a BFA candidate. When he graduates in the fall he plans to move to Portland, Oregon where he will obtain his pilot’s license and fly hot air balloons while working at a used bookstore on the side to cover the steep cost of his flying lessons.

Ana Meza is an artist born in Barranquilla,Colombia. She received an associate degree in Design Technology from IvyTech Community College 2011 and is currently studying Interior Design and Sculpture at Indiana University in Bloomington. Common themes in her art work include immigration, social identity, political structures, and how these issues can transform a space.

RoseRose Harding was born and raised in Indianapolis, IN. She is based in Bloomington, IN and currently pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Sculpture from Indiana University.

Rose’s work frequently attempts to reconcile disillusionment with the physical body as a symptom of living in a patriarchal society and does so through video work, found object sculpture, and poetic gesture.

Announcing the new Curatorial Director for Your Art Here, Jessica Frelund!

10582950_311037695743950_6597152307518874981_oJessica Frelund was born and raised in New Mexico, traveling to Minnesota for three months out of the year. She attended the University of Wisconsin – Madison, where she received a BFA in sculpture and painting in 2005. She spent the following seven years in California, making, traveling, and working as an Art Handler for the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, the University Art Gallery at the University of California San Diego, and numerous other galleries and museums. She now lives and works in Bloomington, Indiana, while pursuing a Masters of Arts in Studio Art & Theory at Drury University, in Springfield, Missouri.

Working in sculpture, video, 2D, and collaboration, she explores her unrest with normative modes of behavior. Investigating the potential of the human organism, us, generative antagonism, and the work of replacing conventional and convenient models, she writes, “Where I modeled, I must now agitate. What I think about is what I am, and somewhere in the middle is what I does.”

Running her hands along the surface of contestable models, Jessica enacts strategies associated with amateurish ethnography and sociology.
