ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Eileen Roscina Richardson is an artist, experimental filmmaker and naturalist from Denver, CO. She earned a BFA from Emerson College in Boston, MA, and trained at the School of Botanical Art and Illustration in Denver. Through biomimicry and the study of biophilia, her work examines human’s spiritual and social (dis)connection with nature, and seeks to raise questions about realizing a radically different metaphoric mapping of time, space and our place in the world.
She has exhibited film internationally, was the 2019 Resident Artist for the National Western Stock Show and is a current resident at RedLine Contemporary Art Center, Denver. She is represented by Walker Fine Art Gallery in Denver, CO.
Joshua Ware is an artist and writer who was born in Cleveland, OH. His work has been shown locally at venues including Platte Forum, RedLine, Understudy and Juicebox. His work also has been on view in Texas, California and Norway. Currently, the artist says his practice explores “the intersection of art and design in sculpture, furniture and home furnishing that traffic in textured minimalism.”
He is also the author of several books, most recently Unwanted Invention / Vargtimmen; he intermittently writes art reviews for the online magazine Entropy. Ware received his doctorate in English Literature and Creative Writing at the University of Nebraska with a focus in experimental poetry and text-image hybrids. He lives and works in Denver, CO, where he has resided on-and-off since 2002.
