In her work, Eden Quispe creates interior scenes using inherited quilting techniques, embroidery, printing and collage. Quispe expresses the precarious balance of her multiple roles as a mother, artist and teacher with symbols and materials; her daughter’s baby clothes, grandfather's ties and inherited fabric from her family and husband's Peruvian culture are painted and sewn upon and cut to become walls, tables and chairs. These object memories are sewn together and printed on to create her patchwork paintings.

Denny Gerwin’s ceramic sculptures and vessels reference the female form, acknowledging artifacts created up to 30,000 years ago and illustrating universal human interest in precarious subject matter. Recognizing himself as the “other” in the equation, and noting that this is a rare position for him to sit in, the artist is grateful for lessons learned in vulnerability. More recent works in this series show clinched fists, an aberration from traditional depictions of Venus and an apt departure given the threat to women's power.
