This life-sized fabric installation features three hand-drawn, screen-printed, sewn and stuffed fabric rooms. Each is based on descriptions of childhood homes in the Philadelphia area. The interviewees are from different neighborhoods, time periods, and cultural backgrounds, but the piece weaves together these distinct memories emphasizing the commonalities of the human experience to form a collective representation of home. Healy received a BA from Oberlin College, and an MFA from the University of the Arts in Book Arts and Printmaking.

This looped video explores the impromptu in-store performances of predominately male customers at a musical instrument store. The artist examines issues of loneliness, the fantasy of rock stardom, the packaging and stereotyping of identities that American chain stores perpetuate, and the simultaneity of exhibitionism and vulnerability. Kaufman is a photographer and video artist living in New York City. She received a BFA in Film and Television Production from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, and an MFA in Photography, Video, and Related Media from the School of Visual Arts.
