< Back Ellen Friedlander Ellen Friedlander’s photography captures life’s imperfections and fleeting moments through bold, complex imagery. Influenced by over a decade in Hong Kong, her work combines in-camera and post-processing techniques, showcasing her technical expertise and fascination with human presence. From the bustling streets of major cities to intimate portraits, artist Ellen Friedlander’s photography offers a rich tapestry of perspectives. Her artistic practice employs a variety of in-camera and post-processing techniques to reveal a style that is bold, complex, and fueled by a fascination with life's imperfections and fleeting moments. After receiving her Master of Arts in Mass Communcations, Friedlander spent more than a decade raising her family in Hong Kong, a city that deeply influenced her street photography and established her professional technical photographic repertoire. Human presence is key to Friedlander’s work. She believes that a portrait consists of elements beyond a simple objective photograph of a subject. This belief is reflected in the ethereal and intimate visuals contained in her work. Layered long exposures help to create a visually rich and textured quality to her images that seem to transcend any temporal bounds. To Friedlander, this process unlocks the hidden depths of a subject that lies beyond their external façade, allowing an individual’s energy and aura to present themselves within their portrait.

The Body is a House for Thoughts < Back Previous Angela Casagrande The Body is a House for Thoughts To Angela Kahoali’i Casagrande, the camera is her third eye. Her lens-based process creates a visual assemblage of reconstruction and remembrance. For Casagrande, photography is a tool that encapsulates a moment in time, forging it into a tactile record of memory. From this, she retells the stories of personal and familial narratives utilizing a variety of photographic methods and mixed media. Materials such as wood, bone, and encaustic wax help to create visual tactility to her work, bringing her photographs from a singular plane into the third dimension. The concept of memory as an element of liminal space, the place a subject is in during a transitional period, is the core of Casagrande’s work. She describes it as a metaphorical ghost; a phantom that is visible yet intangible. It is the specter that lingers through the halls of time. Casagrande acknowledges that memory is a delicate yet pliable substance that is created and passed along. Her work is a continual examination of this process, tracking the remnants of a perpetual history. Next

back to list Julius Eastman Julius Eastman is an artist, DJ, dad and creative force living in California’s Antelope Valley. He has been actively showing his work, appearing at MOAH, the Modern Tea House, Sagebrush Cafe, and working with the Art Around group in Lancaster. In his paintings the landscape is both subject and object, it’s a pliant and mental thing. A rebel music seems to pulse with psychedelic-street sounds, and symbols maintain a power that Eastman seems to both feed and resist. One could call it cultural landscaping, because Eastman is contemplating a way to negotiate the line between sacred and secular, but doing it in the tones of popular culture; taking, in his way, a black and white world and rendering it in color.
