Susan Dory’s abstract paintings investigate themes of repetition, variation, and time. Flowing shapes, which are simultaneously linear and biomorphic, are organized within complex, structured patterns. By overlapping these translucent forms, Dory creates a layered effect that serves as a visual document of time. This effect not only allows viewers to see through one field and into another, it also creates a distinct, tactile quality upon the surfaces of her paintings.

Nishigawara’s art explores human and social relationships while investigating personal thoughts of the inner-self. A toy donkey image is portrayed in several of his works, symbolizing our culture’s malleability as a result of commercialization. We are easily influenced, Nishigawara suggests.
