"PRETTY PRETTY"
October 3rd -- November 16th


Anna Tas was born in Kent, UK, and has lived and studied in Amsterdam. After a successful career in sales and marketing, Anna resigned her post in 2003 to pursue her ambition to study Photography. She has a BFA from University of the Arts, where she was awarded a Presidential Scholarship, as well as the college's Calumet Award for Emerging Photographers in 2007 and the Silicon Gallery Award in 2008. Her Bunny series is a humorous reflection of crushing grief. Recently, her curiosity of how people are defined through gender, race and sexual orientation, has led her to large lenticular photographs of Lego people.

Gail Cunningham is a fibers artist from Philadelphia. She finished her BFA at Oregon College of Art & Craft in Portland Oregon and moved back to Philly five years ago. She sees fibers as a way to study materials. As a result she works in a number of different media, in two dimensions and three, allowing her to give a different context to similar concepts. This most recent body of work, executed in paper, continues to push her fascination with social structures. Gail uses the metaphor of the house and its interior anatomy, coupled with insects and insect colonies to talk about the influence of our structured environments and how we pose ourselves in social situations.

Jennifer Elia Cat Lady: Collections and Obsessions, mixed media paintings explores a feeling of "humorous discontent". She is concerned with aspirations of success where doubt led her to a place of indifference and isolation. Instead of trying to escape the inevitable fate, she discovers a career as a "Cat Lady". That is, one that collects and consumes to fill a void as well as to have a sense of accomplishment. She has set out to find the bargains, travel the bingo halls and devour any beauty that lies within there. Jen owns Fleetwing Gallery in Lambertville New Jersey and starts fires on the weekends.
