Luce Gaudin
Luce Gaudin (@luce.gaudin) is a contemporary French ceramic artist.
Each sculpture is made of enameled stoneware. The inspiration comes from the shapes found in natural phenomena, such as the spirals of shells, galaxies, or the fractal patterns of certain plants.
This repetitive quality resonates with traditional decorative arts, which have mastered the combination and interlacing of fundamental geometric figures like squares, circles, and triangles. This work explores the universal nature of forms, regardless of their origin—whether natural, abstract, or mathematical.
Each sculpture serves as a canvas for graphic lines that wind in every direction. By playing with the curves of a sphere or the edges of a cube or pyramid, the boundaries seem to dissolve in places. The viewer is invited to wander with their gaze across the surfaces, as each side offers a fresh perspective.

Val Reding
Valerie Reding (@valerie.reding) is a Zurich-based choreographer and interdisciplinary artist whose emotionally resonant and visually intriguing work dissolves boundaries between movement, poetry and the political, between the institutional and the underground.
Their work explores how societal power structures configure identity and relationality – how they become inscribed in our bodies and shape how we relate to ourselves and each other.
Drawing from personal and collective trauma, Reding is committed to creating spaces for marginalised narratives and crafts sensorially rich environments that invite audiences into spaces of generative togetherness.
Their performances unfold as radical acts of vulnerability and resistance, where identities are fluid and the body becomes a site of protest and collective transformation.
Their practice is distinguished by its strong poetic visual language, emotional rawness and transdisciplinary layering, merging embodiment with image and text. Through this, Reding seeks to open up alternative modes of feeling, perceiving and being together – beyond the limiting systems society imposes.
They studied classical dance in Luxembourg, architecture at ETH Zürich and media arts at ZHdK (Zurich), the University of Applied Arts Vienna and in San Francisco. As an associated artist at Tanzhaus Zürich, they have developed a nationally and internationally recognized body of work, awarded the SSA Young Choreographers’ Prize and the City of Zurich Cultural Prize.

Tad Lauritzen Wright
Tad Lauritzen Wright (@lauritzenwrightart) is an artist whose work centers on creating systems of abstraction as a means of reflection. Moving fluidly between drawing, painting, photography, and sculpture, Lauritzen Wright treats art as a contemplative practice. His work is grounded in intuition, personal experiences, and art history.
Central to his work is the continuous line both a structural and conceptual element that connects fractured forms and translates across media. The line becomes both a structure and a vulnerability functioning as a visual metaphor for the connection between past and present, thought and material, and the tension between chaos and control. Lauritzen Wright’s work reflects the instability of perception in an image saturated world, proposing that coherence is not inherent but constructed through the collective accumulation and reorganization of visual experience.
Lauritzen Wright earned an MFA from the Memphis College of Art. His work is represented in public and private collections internationally and throughout the United States.

Mallory O'Donnell
Mallory O’Donnell’s (@malodonnell_art) work uses materials that create a tactile and glittering experience, all while tackling challenging and polarizing political and social topics. A recurring theme in her work is the use of levity and energy to broach difficult and often divisive themes in national and global politics and affairs. Forged steel, bright colors and textures scintillate in the light, while the messaging and topics implore them to stay, explore and confront their world views and prejudices.
A centering subject in all her work is people and community. Mallory’s relationships and experiences with the people she loves and cares for are what inspires and drives her art. As a Queer female artist, it is important for her to speak up for communities and other cultures that don’t always have a voice. Community involvement in her art is not just important, but it is an integral element. Artists have an obligation now more than ever to speak up and use their practice to amplify important causes.
When trying to conceptualize a piece, she leans into the outrageous. If it sounds impossible, or if someone might call her a kook for trying, then she knows she’s on the right track. Creating art is important to Mallory–but what is more crucial to her inner drive is doing things that challenge her and instill a new feeling from the viewer.

Rinker uses abstraction as a way to relate emotional energy and sensory experiences into visual and sonic forms. She is interested in human perception and the evolution of our conscious minds as they relate architecturally to external environments and relationships. Rest balances rhythmic, painterly expressions and the unfurling of environments with layered personal history of place and human connections; reflecting life as it is experienced in a nonlinear fashion – like ever growing scrapbooks and run-on sentences of present (un)conscious moments – cyclical and always subject to change.

Carol Herd-Rodriguez
Carol Herd-Rodriguez (@carolherdrodriguezart)
Carol Herd-Rodriguez is a New York artist who uses landscape as a language to convey the emotional and visceral experience of being in nature. Her paintings are shaped by two places that continue to shape her life and work: the Hudson Valley, where she grew up, and Mexico, where she first traveled at the age of five.
The cliffs of the Palisades, the broad waters of the Hudson River, and the changing seasons have given Carol a lifelong connection to the landscape. Mexico has deepened her love of vibrant color, light, lush vegetation, and a rich artistic tradition. Together, these places have shaped a visual language that moves beyond describing a particular location to expressing the feeling of being present in nature.
Carol earned a BFA from SUNY Purchase and an MFA from the University of Illinois. After graduate school, she and her husband lived in Mexico for a year, where she studied Spanish at the National University of Mexico and began painting. Since marrying into a Mexican family in 1994, she has returned often to paint, study, and spend time with family who remain central to her life. She is currently an artist in residence at Casa Lienzo in Mexico City and plans to spend more time living and painting in Mexico.
Today, Carol lives and works in the Hudson Valley. She paints daily in her studio, on Metro-North Hudson Line trains, and outdoors. She has exhibited professionally for more than 30 years, and her work is held in private and corporate collections throughout the United States. She believes a painting is completed when it is shared.
