Statement

Mercury Hogan does not have origins. Born in Hong Kong to parents from the United States and the Philippines, she was raised in seven countries on three continents – a multicultural upbringing that has taught her to question everything and take nothing for granted. The sensation of being an outsider, of taking up someone else’s space, has been one of the only constants throughout her nomadic life.

Mercury has been drawn towards the methodical neurosis and universal necessity of fiber arts since the age of three. In her work, she unites traditional fiber methods from around the world, innovative textile practices, personal narrative, and ritualistic performance. Her existential dread leads her to record every second of her creative process as evidence.

Artist Statement

Eileen Alcalde is a painter and teaching artist recently relocated from Brooklyn to New Jersey. Her work explores the complexity of social and political relationships and human behavior. Primarily working in oil and acrylic paint, Eileen uses bold colors and strong brush strokes to express her conflicted responses to these topics. As a first generation American of Latin heritage, Eileen uses art as a way to explore her own identity while simultaneously exploring the intersectionalities of culture, gender, and race. In addition, Eileen is inspired by her work with youth. She seeks to use her creative practice as a way to empower young people to find their voice through art and connect with their community. She is a strong believer that art and art education should be accessible to all.

My interest in painting arises from a desire to communicate. Color is the essence of my work. A language with it’s own nuances, color speaks through infinite combinations. In unity and isolation, through form, fluidity and rhythm the piece evolves. I strive to free myself from projected thought, and to instead work from an abandon. I simplify and resolve. I attain a momentary truth. Through my work I want to invite an intimate dialogue, a contemplation via the relationship of color.
