New York-based Jordan Eagles combines blood, acrylics, resin, metallic powders, and cheesecloth into strikingly beautiful forms, hues, and textures that he believes reveal the unitary nature of the body-spirit connection. His work has been described as "luminous and magnifying" (New York Times), and "brilliant, light-refracting art" (Philadelphia Weekly). He has exhibited most recently at BLK/MRKT Gallery in Los Angeles and at SCOPE-New York. Somewhat notorious for his use of blood, his work was banned from New Jersey's annual "Art at Overlook" exhibition in 2003. This is his first Bay Area show.

Ex-San Franciscans (now Brooklynites) Craig LaRotonda and Kim Maria collaborate to produce evocative hand-sculpted and found-object assemblages that address themes of death, decay, rebirth, and the weight of personal history. Their work, individually and/or in collaboration, has appeared in Time, the Washington Post, and the New York Times, among other publications, and was featured in the 2002 feature film Traffic.

Clint Imboden is an East Bay photographer and installation artist whose work explores questions of psychological pain via found images, written materials, and other objects representing or evoking the body. For this show he has installed a large-scale column of found x-rays which the viewer may enter, becoming immersed in an environment that, as Imboden states, "challenges the viewer to commit the time and energy it takes to read or decipher an element to understand the full meaning of the piece."

San Francisco's David Zuttermeister crafts found-object installations and sculptures that seem to generate a new symbolism of the body that, while utterly new, somehow fells ancient and familiar, touching a deep chord within the viewer. For this show, Zuttermeister's mixed media installation was made in reaction to what he considers to be a strange lack of artistic response to the ongoing war. He recently exhibited at the Bemis Center for the Contemporary Arts in Omaha, Nebraska.
