Yi-Hsuan Lin is an artist from Taiwan based in São Paulo since 2009. He has exhibited work at Taipei Fine Arts Museum; Instituto Figueiredo Ferraz, Sao Paulo; and Morán Morán, Los Angeles, 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.
