Persistence/Insistence is a series of paintings on paper that feature a Birdman and a Woman. The woman figure is based on Greek vase paintings. She represents growth, life, love, beauty, art, and friendship. She persists in creativity even while the Birdman insists that all is his for the taking. The Birdman is based on Egyptian figures. He represents a culture that had survived 5000 years and sees no reason to change.

Emily Waters is an artist and teacher living in Brooklyn. She was raised on a farm in Illinois with 8 siblings. She was educated at the Kunstgewerbeschule in Basel, Switzerland and has worked in the graphic design department of the Museum of Modern Art and the Guggenheim Museum.

S A M P L E R 
​Bound by an interest in craft and materiality, seven artists explore drawing with alternative techniques. The ceramic sculptures of Sam Berenfield harken a nostalgia for childhood that is challenged by the expressive quilts and drawings of Noah Pica, whose work evokes an unflinching humor and sensuality that confront the viewer with color and form. Beautifully sensitive drawings by Krista Young respond to the frenetic and ornate patchwork quilt of Emma Redmond. Elizabeth Schweizer and Stefan Sehringer converse through weaving: material dances in the works of Sehringer, while Schweizer's surreal images develop through the shifting of color and pattern. Cassie Sheedy intertwines two and three dimensions with multimedia wall reliefs in wood and on paper. Together the artists grapple with the anxiety of being young during uncertain times, of finding and forging a place to call their own.
