2 - Maggie Venn, MSU Grad
The series entitled Environment Series, entail the accumulation, layering, piling and transformation of the very mundane and humble material, shredded cardboard debris. With the use of this material, I wish to call attention to what we as a society value and do not value. The material once used as packaging and then discarded, provides an opportunity to present the material in an altered, meaningful and beautiful form. The material, itself, amplifies this message of what we do not value. The images in the Environment Series, three-dimensional abstract constructions that evoke the character of weather forms, have a personal connection to the expression of the immense power that is nature. This series is about working in harmony with nature and with my own natural pattern of energy and sense of balance. Nature is often used as a reference with the objective of creating a new reality.

2 - Bradley Burkhart
Bradley Burkhart was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan in 1949. He attended Kalamazoo College in western Michigan, where he graduated with a major in art and a minor in physics. As an undergraduate, the artist traveled extensively in Europe and was profoundly impressed by Renaissance and medieval artists. He was struck by the change of human consciousness from one of spiritual orientation to one of intellectual orientation. He has been influenced by the writings of Joseph Campbell, Carl Jung, and more recently Riane Eisler (The Blade and the Chalice), Leonard Schlain (Art and Physics, The Goddess and the Alphabet), and Suzy Gablik (Has Modernism Failed?) which attempt to address the reintegration of intuition with rationality and the relevance of art to social decision making. In addition to art, the artist has a persevering interest in the relationship of nature/ecology which led him to a study of horticulture and landscape architecture as well as art. These interests have led him to become a leader in native habitat restoration in Southern California. His art and landscape work, both address the deep sense of alienation from self and nature that exists today.
