Session November 2022
Experimentation, Adaptation & Cohesion
Join us on Tuesday 1st November. Artists Nathan Huff and Justin Zielke will open a discussion on open play in visual experimentation, adaptation to changing contexts, and maintaining an integral artistic voice.
JUSTIN ZIELKE combines methods of figurative sculpture and film installation to explore mythic and self-referential themes. Justin is a recognized artist who has received the Vermont Studio Center Artist Residency with an artistic merit grant, the recipient of the Koch Cultural Trust Grant and the Kansas Creative Arts Industries Commission in partnership with the Vernon Filley Museum of Art, accepted into the Savannah College of Art and Design's Alumni Atelier Program in Lacoste, France, among other honors. NATHAN HUFF produces paintings, drawings, and sculptures that create freewheeling narratives: personal stories of suspending gravity, traversing emotional vertigo, and sorting reservoirs of memories. His works are in the Permanent Collections of the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, the Culver Museum, the Hilbert Museum of California Art, Ridley Tree Museum of Art, and Cal State University Long Beach. Nathan teaches as an associate professor of art at Westmont College in Santa Barbara, and is represented by Sullivan Goss Gallery.
