Arcy Douglass: Ten Thousand Things- Arcy Douglass's Ten Thousand Things uses the repetition of a simple formal vocabulary to reflect the complex structure of natural systems.

Leslie Nemour's Variety Show- "The premise for these paintings identifies the television as the most common framing device for contemporary two-dimensional images. The series began in 2005 with an exhibition entitled 'Television Portraits' followed by an expanded version, 'RUTV', in 2008. Variety Show represents a selection from the continuing evolution of this obsession."
