Craig Foltz is a writer and multi-media artist whose work has appeared in numerous journals including, most recently Chicago Review, Octopus Magazine, and Ninth Letter. He has a book of poetry on Ugly Duckling Presse. As for these two diagrams? No wonder they look so familiar.
Alabama-born, Brooklyn-based artist Dana Matthews’ work includes toned, hand-tinted or b/w silver gelatin portfolios of female nudes, mystical landscapes, an extensive study of baptismal fonts in the rural South, color portraits of hip young Catskill farm workers and many more fine art prints. Most recently, she has created a small body of paintings on metal called "Fortuity Series" which are currently being shown at Urban Zen in NYC. The depth of these various bodies of work reflect the sensibility of a mature and dedicated artist not only to the medium of pure silver photography but to continuing the act of seeing as a way of life.
