Approximately 19,000 individual photographs make up Kiera Faber's stop-motion animation film, Living Organics / 09.01.29. About eleven minutes in length, the film is comprised of a world where appearances are deceiving. Exploring themes of trust and loss, Faber has constructed an environmnet where innocence and evil combine in a strangley alluring space. The series of still photgraphs exhibited around the film intiates reflection on the effect time-based media has on the interpretation of narrative.
Kiera Faber teaches art at Saint Cloud State University and received her M.F.A from the Visual Studies Workshop from Brockport State University of New York. She currently resides in St. Joseph, Minnesota.

Reception: Friday, September 17, 5:30 – 7:30 p.m.

Sarah Stone's paintings, Selected Works from the Reliquarium Collection, invite the viewer to re-evaluate contemporary images found in today's cultures. Using pop culture, religion, mythology and folk art as reference points, Stone's series portrays objects from these sources as icons, regardless of their original significance. Ranging from the Venus of Willendorf to a Gucci shoe, Stone depicts her re-imagined symbols using centralized compositions, bold colors and decorative patterns, adding a humours dimension to the weighty nautre of iconography.
Sarah Stone is a Minnesota artist. She received her B.F.A from the University of Minnesota, Duluth and recently graduated from the University of Wisconsin, Madison with her M.F.A. She is currently working in Madison, Wisconsin.
