                    Fountain’s flossy architecture breaching on vast expanse 
                                Amorphous (Morpheus’s surge) 
                    And the mechanical gravity pump (the heart)—
                    
                                                  — Martine Bellen 
		
                    Horizon’s drama
                    a vestige
                    
                    Why does it slant pictorial?
            
                                          — Julia Cohen 

                    Under the mattress is a box.  Inside are reproductions:  postcard-sized, slick with pigment.

                      Doctrines       and stunning    air 
                    and all those little
                                  swords       of sun      whispering the knuckle doors  
                                        
                                                  — Karen Garthe 
		
                    We have no shame, only when turning ‘round.  
                    Means we’re not coming back, does it?
                         
                                                  — Marina Kaganova 
		
                    We are an inlet lake, boat launch, trails that lead to nowhere.
                    
                                                  — Katie Jean Shinkle 		
         
                    A letter, liable. On paper or on language. 
                    Flooded, skinned buoyant. 
                    
                                                  — Danielle Vogel 
		
Berkeley-based Leigh Wells creates collages, drawings, and three-dimensional constructions that explore, in her words, “the mysterious boundaries between the truth and the unknowable.” Her ability to communicate so much with so little might be from pulling from so many various systems of thought--religion, theoretical physics, history, evolution, and psychology -- and her play with dimensional line and shape.
