Martha Colburn

Martha Colburn is a respected filmmaker from Pennsylvania who resides in Long Island, New York. Colburn's work is fabulous! I was doing a quick search on mixed media with an attempt to find political art mixed with humor, and I ran straight into this woman who took me on a whirlwind ride full of surprises!

Here are a few films of Colburns.. please enjoy them to the fullest. You either like her work or you don't, its the wonderful world Art!

These works of art are outstandingly creative and infested with personal emotions and political jargon. The concepts are out of this world! There is a whole Wizard of Oz motif along with this creepingly imaginative world that Bin Laden is obscured into. It's just mind blowing.. I know each and everyone of you will come up with your own opinion and thoughts on these pieces! Please let us know what your reactions were and any other comments after looking at these images. The medium here is Polaroids and Paintings.

Sarah Baley"Bois"

Sarah Baley is a fascinating photographer with exquisite skills. Through an array of photos, Baley showcases sexuality and gender definitions. Her recent show "BOIS" held in New York, at the Collette Blanchard Gallery on the Lower East Side, where she concentrated on the these issues as well as urban landscapes in their state of "rot" being re-developed. Her work has been featured in issues of Velvet Park Magazine and also in the New York Times Magazine Blog. The Brooklyn Museum is also acquiring some of her work for their permanent collection.

What I find most alluring about Bailey as photographer and an artist is that she continues to use film instead of digital. Her prints are darkroom oriented which gives her images a brilliant amount of extra character and representation of her subjects. Baley has a way with telling a story, not just as a whole concept but each individuals story comes out of the image and into the minds of the viewers. There is actual life and meaning being portrayed in Baley's work as well as her own viewpoints and struggles they face.

You can find Sarah Baley's work on her website sarahbaley.com and on twitter @SarahBaley.
