AVERY WEILER
He/Him / Minneapolis, MN

My characters that fill these spaces are an embodiment of myself and my personal life experiences. These translate into human or creature-like characters finding a deep connection or a formidable difference in one another, sometimes just existing on their own. Very much like the pattern of meeting and interacting with others, such as past or present relationships of all sorts. I'm digging deeper into this connection by exploring how each one is carrying its own individuality,  unique features, and presence that can be seen as childish but also ominous. This flexibility allows viewers to decide if the moments I illustrate are a ray of hope or a moment of mortality and danger for these characters. In this creation process, they are and become even more like children of mine, like I am meant to protect, care for them, and eventually let them go into this unraveling world of mine.

LINDSEY YEAGER
She/They / Milwaukee, WI

I'm an interdisciplinary artist primarily working in drawing, painting, and zines. The reasons why I make the work I do are constantly changing and evolving, but as I see it right now, my work exists as an allegorical way to look at social dynamics and the human condition. I believe that in order to understand ourselves better, we actually need to step back a bit to find another way in.
