Shawna Stilwell is a local artist known for creating colorful, dynamic fluid art installations. From the artist: I originally named this piece "The Flow" because that’s what I saw in it: movement, current, momentum, and the way life carries us whether we’re ready or not. Then I put a hole through it. Not metaphorically. An actual hole. It happened while I was preparing the painting for its final resin coat. After weeks of work, right before completion, the canvas tore. I was devastated, frustrated, and convinced the piece was ruined. Then I looked at the world around me. We’re living through a moment where immigrant families are being targeted, civil rights are under attack, and institutions many people assumed would protect us have proven far more fragile than advertised. There are holes appearing everywhere in the fabric of our society. In families. In communities. In our sense of safety. In our democracy. The hole in the painting is still there. The canvas tore at exactly the moment I thought the painting was finished. That feels like an appropriate metaphor for the times we’re living in. Many of us are staring deeply into a black hole of uncertainty, watching familiar markers disappear while being told everything is fine. The hole in this painting wasn’t planned. The damage being done to our country is. Many of the forces driving today’s attacks on immigrant communities, civil rights, and democratic institutions have spent decades building toward this moment. We are not witnessing an accident. We are witnessing a strategy. I considered repairing the hole so completely that nobody would ever know it happened. Instead, I left evidence. Art does not owe us perfection. Life certainly doesn’t. There is only one version of this painting. The one that got punched in the face by the universe a few days before delivery and showed up anyway. Created in support of 805 UndocuFund and SB Resiste."

Fine art painter.

Daniel Linz's work includes contemporary landscapes and figurative art. Linz states: "As a child I would paint with my grandmother on the banks of the Ohio River. She would say to me "Don't paint the river, paint the water." I begin my paintings with a direct representation of nature, most often a tree or group of trees, or trees in the urban landscape. Then continue to work the image to extract more of its essence. I try to establish the comfortable identifiable elements of landscape then proceed to move and extend those elements to an edge of sorts through line and form and color." He is a professor at UCSB.

Hương Ngô's works are in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art, Smith College Museum of Art, and the Walker Art Center, among others. She is currently a lecturer at UCSB.

This piece is part of a body of work that explores the labor of immigrants in the technology industry. She used components collected from the factories where her parents worked as new immigrants to the US, pairing them with natural materials that speak to the origin of those components and/or the ecological impact.

Born in Hong Kong, Hương holds an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in Art & Technology Studies (2004) and was a Whitney Independent Study Fellow (2011-2012). She was awarded the Fulbright U.S. Scholar Grant in Vietnam (2016) for work that has been described as "deftly and defiantly decolonial" by New City and "what intersectional feminist art looks like'' by the Chicago Tribune. She works across mediums, traversing borders and making connections through differences. At once intimate and political, Ngô’s practice listens for what remains.
