“Cyborg Feeling” by Lauren D'Apuzzo
Through use of a soundscape the jacket is meant to convey the tentative public and private relationships generated between humans and the cybernetic technologies keeping them alive.
"Shelter" by Meridith Coen

This terracotta sculpture is a personal expression of refuge. A pretend fortress constructed from soft blankets and sheets becomes a home with in a home, a place where I felt protected as a child from the physical elements as well as judgment from others and myself. It is a private place that exists for the sake of imagination and creativity alone, a notion we tend to forget as we get older.
