Natalie Obermaier
My table will include examples of my hand woven collage pieces, both framed traditionally and mounted to wood. There will also be a selection of unframed pieces, at a lower price point, that are easier for transport.

Brandon Tani
Brandon Tani will be representing themselves and showcasing a number of prints as part of an ongoing work-in-progress titled "Denatured"; a work focused on exploring contemporary sociopolitical alienation. This project began as a journal of how that alienation felt on a personal level but quickly the scope logically crept to larger systems—alienation from culture, alienation from identity and others, alienation from ancestry and labor and environment.
