Rajyashri Goody

Rajyashri Goody is a visual artist and ethnographer. Her practice is informed by her background in social science as well as her Dalit roots. Through the use of various media, including writing, ceramics, photography, video, and sculptural works made with found objects and food items, she attempts to decode and make visible instances of everyday power and resistance within Dalit communities in India. She is currently researching parallels and contrasts in foodways in the context of race and caste.

Rajyashri Goody has exhibited work at The Showroom, London; Harvard University, Cambridge; and Khoj International Artists’ Association, New Delhi, among others. 

Svetlana Bailey

Through installation, drawing and in-camera collage, Svetlana Bailey uses fruit to explore the flesh and gender of human embodiment throughout her work. She uses details and enlarging techniques to create new spatial and form/function relationships between fruit and the body.

Svetlana Bailey has exhibited work at Elizabeth Houston Gallery, New York; Blue Sky Gallery, Portland; and Artereal Gallery, Sydney; among others. 

Heather Brammeier

Heather Brammeier is a sculptor, painter, and installation artist whose work continues the function of childhood play into adulthood. Through innovative use of materials and deceptively simple design, Brammeier creates visual puzzles that invite movement in and around the artwork. The artwork tests physical and perceptual boundaries, mirroring emotional and psychological limits. Vertiginous stacking, attention to surfaces, and the use of light and shadow elicit contemplation of safety and threat, love and loss, and the complexity of emotional experience.

Heather Brammeier has exhibited work at Pen + Brush, New York; South Bend Museum of Art, Indiana; and Swansea College of Art, Wales, among others.
