Thomas H. Durand Photography Thomas H. Durand, originally from New York City, is a graduate of the Museum School of Fine Arts and an active painter and photographer in the Boston area. In addition to producing his own work, Thomas curates shows at JP Licks, public art locations, and sits on the board of JP Arts Council. The sock monkey doll became Thomas's photographic subject after a particularly personal time of crisis. At the time these, hand made, depression era dolls were perfect figures to express the seemingly never-ending, raw emotions he was experiencing. Thomas's images are simultaneously playful, hopeful and even comforting. Between the images, their titles and the human experiences they evoke, there are often multiple ways of entering and engaging his work that bring tears to some and laughter to others. "My inspirations come from many places, which incorporate my thoughts on the human condition generally - on religion, nature, music, art history, American icons, social and current issues in addition to my own emotional demons and delights." The black and white images are gelatin silver prints, hand printed by the photographer from the original negative. Each image is a limited edition and printed to archival standards on double weight fiber paper signed and numbered on the back. The color images (except the painted images) are similarly from original negatives printed by a professional color lab to archival standards. No monkeys were harmed in the making of these photographs. More images and information can be viewed at www.monkeysox.com thomas@monkeysox.com

Aaron KovalcsikMonkey Chow is the illustration and design work of Boston based artist Aaron Kovalcsik. Every character that has been brought to life on paper is caught in an intrinsically profound moment that is at the crux of their entire life. At this moment the artist lets us swap roles from viewers to voyeurs allowing us a peek into their thoughts and emotions. Fueling the quirky ideas behind these colorfully illustrated characters and captions are friends, family, and requests from Monkey Chow fans like you. - Aaron | MonkeyChow.com

Roberta DiamondMy bold floral images evoke a connection to the works of famed painter Georgia O'Keefe; the focus is on the inner beauty of the flower itself, When looking carefully, one is able to see natural forms within the flowers - the fresh artistry of this collection revisits the pioneering "blossom" series by botanical photographer Imogen Cunningham, and softly-abstracted floral images by nature photographer Mary Ellen Schultz. Enjoy!

Stephanie GerolimatosI've found that much of the art that resonates with me causes a strong visceral reaction, and my instinct is to want to touch the work. In my own work, I use combinations of materials with inherently tactile properties. By referencing touch, there arises a suggestion of intimacy. That suggestion can evoke a multitude of responses ranging all the way from from attraction to repulsion. Formally, I enjoy the challenges of integrating materials of contrasting textures or surfaces, and opening and extending the traditionally two dimensional picture plane into the third dimension. -Stephanie Gerolimatos

Winter freezes out summer,
composting its spoils under icy crust. I stalk with false starts.
