Artist Statement:
I create my artwork as a practitioner of what I call 'The Essence Ritual': a rite that engages the essence of Being in relationship with the self and its environment. This ritualistic approach is my way to transform common notions of reality, perception and spirituality in a deeply subversive way of thinking, expressed through a personal vocabulary of images and symbols. I create imaginary characters and substances, working with physical materials and poetic texts on a metaphorical level.
My work evolves in multiple series that are open processes themselves, like concentric circles unfolding in time from a creative core. Each series asks for specific materials and mediums, each one playing a role in the consciousness manifested as a big installation: my most vital and essential gesture. Art offers me freedom through its practice and becomes a healing process as well as a quest for knowledge of my own truth, the primordial untouched by words.

Yasmina Lahjij earned an MFA at Sorbonne University, Paris and is currently studying Art Theory at EHESS, Paris. Her practice repurposes discarded and humble materials, such as wrapping papers and food packaging. The materials bear the traces of their previous existence, attesting to the memory of their original purpose. Questioning the notions of value and form, she tries to find ways to understand, represent and reinterpret the inherent contradiction and ambivalence of the world that surrounds her. In the Butchery series, fleshy mass irradiates, and drawing becomes an attempt to produce a non-threatening image where the flesh is depicted in a myriad of dashes.

Jessica's recent monotypes capture the often-uncanny experience of traveling in foreign places and stem from her time on residency in the Dominican Republic. Completely from her imagination, these works are painted on a non-porous surface and then transferred to paper using an intaglio printing press. An avid printmaker, Jessica has completed residencies in lithography at the Frans Masereel Centrum in Belgium and in monotype at the Altos de Chavón design school in the Dominican Republic. She has worked in several New York print shops including the Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop at the Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts in Manhattan. Augier currently lives and works in New York City and received an MFA in Painting and Printmaking from the New York Academy of Art in New York, NY in 2013.

Franklin earned her B.A. in English and creative writing from Washington and Lee University, her M.F.A. in creative writing from the University of Florida, and her M.F.A. in painting from the New York Academy of Art.

Isabelle Milkoff is a French collagist based in New York since 2010. Collage is her medium. She likes to play with layers and shapes and uses a lot the transfer technique. It gives a background on which the picture builds itself. In the twin collages exhibited here (Armelle and the Big Departure) small and big figures are echoing each other and exploring the same theme.
