Art

Removed Sections by Simona Mihaela Josan.
Simona is an artist and a writer living in
South Philadelphia, really close to all the
smells and noise of the Italian market.
She moved here from Romania 12 years
ago and her heritage still haunts her
work.

Untitled (Moussio) by Neal Curley. Neal
is a first year student at the University
of Chicago. More of his work appears
at halftone.org.

The
Juggler by Samantha Gale.

Synchronicity by Clifford Ward. Clifford
Ward, sculptor and painter, is a product
of the Johnson Atelier Technical
Institute of Sculpture where he has performed
metal work on the work of
some of the premiere sculptors from
around the world.

Untitled by Nicole Koenitzer. Nicole utilizes
found commercial multi-media to
express her ideas of layered personalities.
Much like us, Nicole's "personalities"
are shown through layers upon
layers that reveal a larger frontal picture,
where some layers are exposed and others
are hidden.
Freaky Deaky by Clifford Ward.
Yellow 'Fro Dancer by Clifford Ward.
