“Parallel,” Andrea Damic

Andrea Damic has been taking photos ever since she first used her grandpa’s camera with a flash cube. Life is fragile, and as a former refugee, she understands how quickly cherished moments can fade and how little (or no) control we have over what happens; so capturing the fleeting snippets of time as something tangible—almost—has always mattered to her. Her passion for abstract expression developed much later in life. There’s a saying in her language that talks about “many people having many views” (usually on the same issue), and while that’s not always ideal, she believes it’s important when viewing abstract art. It allows each person to follow their own path of experience, as what she sees can be entirely different from what someone else perceives. In her imaginary free time, Andrea can often be found tinkering with her website https://damicandrea.wordpress.com.

“The Centaur,” Nayoun Kim

Nayoun Kim is an illustrator and currently teaches part-time at Sheridan College in Canada. “Drawing has always been a passion of mine—it often feels like having a good conversation with a friend. I don’t always know what I’m going to draw, but I love the adventure of seeing where my pen takes me. Since studying illustration in 2012, I’ve had the opportunity to showcase my work in exhibitions across Toronto and Seoul. I’ve also collaborated with artists from various fields, with my illustrations featured in books, magazines, album covers, and music videos. I believe a strong illustration can instantly capture attention and spark curiosity. It’s a personal and powerful way to tell a story—and to invite others into your world.”

“Black Centaur, Blue Field,” Monotype on paper, Rachel Williams

Rachel Williams is a mixed media. Her bold, quirky, and apparently playful works often carry a brooding gritty undertone. By employing an agglomeration of printmaking, painting, collage, stitching onto a variety of surfaces, her work is a lively regurgitation of current obsessions. Her most recent output concerns the vulnerability of existence in the natural world with inspiration coming from iconography and primitive depiction of the cave paintings of Lascaux and Australia. www.rkwilliams.com
