Constructing the Figure

visual artists:
Jeff Wallin / Rogelio Manzo / Sienna Freeman

Jeff Wallin’s intricately distressed surfaces and eerie human figuration suggest the depths of psychological portraiture. Rogelio Manzo unearths the story below the surface exposing the viewer to a visceral discourse concerned with of our own bodily integrity and mortality. Sienna Freeman explores the transitory nature of self-perception, memory, and emotion. Through collage, she seeks to simulate and re-evaluate pivotal moments in her life.

musician: Brendan Burke

Delta Drift is the musical project of Brendan, consisting mostly of his solo songs, experimental recordings, and cover songs.  You can download and stream almost all of his released songs at Delta Drift's Soundcloud Page.

poet: Angel Hogan
Transplanted from a rural horse farm to downtown Philadelphia in her teens, much of Angel Hogan’s writing is fueled by her non-traditional upbringing, which she describes as “a heap of multicultural embarrassments.” After studying Literary Theory at Bucknell University, Angel traveled cross country with a Chow-pit puppy in a diaper, and spent time at her Mom’s home in the Yucatan. Angel currently works at the University of Pennsylvania and lives in West Philly. She is a story-telling champ with First Person Arts, and is completing her first book. See more at: www.angelhogan.com
