New Member Show Yun Hong Chang Ellen Hochberg Jo Moniz Kevin Piepel Bailey Russel Jennifer Yaros January 7- January 30, 2010 First Thursday Opening Reception: January 7, 2010 Hours: Friday & Saturday 12-5pm Or by appointment: info@shiftstudio.org  Shift Collaborative Studio is pleased to introduce the work of six new member artists. The artists are represented by a variety of styles and media including painting, sculpture and photography. Using porcelain and her own hair, Yun Hong Chang creates sculptures to explore the fragility of her innermost thoughts and memories. Her delicate porcelain pieces are often connected by hair to visualize the link between herself and the memory. Yun holds a BFA in Ceramics from the University of Washington. Ellen Hochberg's work explores the branching patterns of nature in a variety of media including drawing, painting and installations. She is interested in the paths we take in life and the person we are at those different stages of life. Ellen holds an MA degree from NYU in Studio Art and a BA in graphic design from Southern Illinois University. Jo Moniz presents encaustic artworks exploring landscape and figures from unique perspectives, crossing paths of natural elements and man-made forms. Pacific Islander and Islamic patterning influences her current work and reflects her ongoing interest in both cultures. Jo Moniz is an architect with a degree from the University of Washington. Kevin Piepel utilizes the ancient art of encaustic painting to lift the veil of waking reality and peer into the mosaic of human experience residing in his subconscious. Kevin employs meditation and dreaming to create aqueous mindscapes where color and pattern give rise to form and symbol. Kevin holds a BA in Studio Art and a BFA in Printmaking from the University of Washington. Bailey Russel's photography explores the interaction between the refuse of our life and the natural world that surrounds us. This idea of a liminal space is a theme in all his work, be it between photography and painting, or nature and civilization. Bailey studied photography at Princeton and holds a Masters from NYU. Jennifer Yaros works primarily in print, sculpture and book arts to explore the intersection of language and identity, truth and meaning and to continually push herself into the boundary of the unknown. She is not formally trained and does not care to be. Shift is a collaborative artist's studio that opened in the fall of 2004 in the renovated Tashiro Kaplan Fine Arts Complex. Shift was established as an artist-run space with the primary goal of supporting emergent, practicing Northwest artists.
