Julien Dorsey’s recent work is photo-based imagery primarily shot on medium format film. For this residency, Dorsey experimented with multiple exposure images made by layering negatives, and printed using a form of alternative process printing. Using the cyanotype process, Dorsey found himself emerging into a world of blue. Through this hundred-year-old process, he sought out to capture the nostalgic feeling that he now resonates with when looking back on his photography. The wet cyanotype process is perfect for capturing the idea of ephemerality and expressing the fleeting and fluid nature of life. Thus, Dorsey would best describe this body of work as an emotional imprint left in liminal space.

Mark Lester’s work involves creating functional ceramics and mixed-media sculptures that investigate interior space and interaction with light. Using the potter’s wheel and other methods, Lester constructs objects with multiple layers which he then carves into to reveal the underlying space and interior surface. Lester often designs his work to be either rotated or mounted on the wall, which allows this revealed depth to interact with ambient light in engaging ways. Lester draws inspiration from ruined structures and the exquisite sense of stillness and mystery which pervades spaces that have been long abandoned, as well as the nature that surrounds such sites and gradually reclaims them. Light and interior depth are essential aspects of these spaces; a simple beam of sunlight through a window or the shadow cast by a crumbling wall can be enough to evoke this sense of stillness. In hiswork I aim to capture this sense of stillness and mystery by creating functional forms and abstract sculptures that invite the viewer to “step inside” the piece and explore its hidden aspects. The piece can then become a departure point for the imagination, and its interior landscape may seem to extend beyond its own physical boundaries
