For 18 years, Stephen Cartwright has recorded his exact latitude, longitude and elevation for every hour of every day. He incorporates this data into digital and sculptural work that intersects the realms of science and art. Using this and other self-recorded data, Cartwright creates bold, minimal landscape sculptures and digital media projects that explore topography, temperature, light, and movement.

Erin Furimsky’s meticulous details reflect elements of domesticity, floral motifs, and calligraphy. The fullness of the ceramic sculptures give the illusion of buoyancy, complementing the vivid surface treatment. Fragments and layers accumulate organically across the bulbous surfaces of Furimsky’s sculptures, leaving a sense of order remaining as the embellishments are coupled with linear patterns and blocks of solid color.
