FRAGMENT (FOUR)

Isaac McKenna is a photographer, sculptor, and artist based in Seattle, WA. Their work spans a variety of photographic and sculptural mediums and centers around questions of temporality, image-subject collapse, and the perspective of natural environments. Isaac's practice focuses on a conceptual relationship between subject matter and the photographic (or sculptural) object. With the use of experimental and historical photographic processes, the medium becomes inseparable from the picture, a combined whole which questions the place of photographs in an image-saturated environment. These processes include silver gelatin dry plate, 16mm motion picture film, and tree-toned cyanotype. They graduated with honors in Visual Art from Brown University.

Reuben van Hoeve was born in Southern Ontario before his parents moved with him to the Appalachian mountains of Eastern Kentucky. What was intended to be a two-year stint became the entirety of his upbringing. Growing up in geographical isolation and cloistered by religious fundamentalism, he turned to art and image making as a means of connecting with the world outside of his limited environment. His primary focus is on the diametric ways in which we construct our material reality around pre-existing landscapes, the impact this has on our quality of life, how we perceive the world, and our place in it.

"OSCURA" is the manifestation of the raw, uncompromising, and instinctive vision of Julian Castaneda. The name comes from the way ideas and creations appear from nowhere, formed through the interaction between the artist and the medium. OSCURA makes space for work to exist without inherent meaning, where art flows freely from the unknown and takes shape through compulsion.
Core themes often emerge, including identity, decay, annihilation, spirituality, and a sense of confusion and unease. While film photography is the primary method of expression, OSCURA is not bound to any single form. The vision extends into graphic design, sound and music, textile printing, and anything else that insists on being made.
