A series of extended, illustrated conversations with artists about their work.
Lisa Cardenas: Transformation I and II
The black painting, Transformation I, was a tribute to my husband. In it are suggestions of his identity and the things he loved.
Cristina de Gennaro: Sage Drawings
I began thinking about the possibility of representing a kind of “underside” to the sublime.
Bryan Florentin: Scene in a Library (after Talbot)
The edges of the piled books struck me as a material analogue to layers of geological sediment.
Angela Kallus: Waterloo
I think a lot about the way that these particular objects (roses, books) have multiple “signifieds.”

These images aren’t intended to be objective, though I’ve heard people refer to them as architectural or landscape-oriented before.
