Ava Fedorov Ava Fedorov is a Boston-based visual artist and writer who explores the overlaid arrangements of life that comprise landscape as it transforms due to climate cataclysm. With a background that includes design and film, she pulls from all realms of her creative knowledge to portray disappearing wilderness, haunted geographies, and the implicit nexus that connects internal and external landscapes. She creates large, abstract paintings, multimedia installations, and global performance pieces. Ava’s work has been exhibited, collected, and published internationally and her short fiction has been a finalist for the Pushcart Prize and the PEN America award for debut fiction. Ava teaches Studio Foundations at Massachusetts College of Art and Design and is also the founder and president of CICADA (cicadaartists.org), an organization committed to amplifying the creative response to environmental justice and the climate crisis. @avaglows https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/595836f32e69cf918e981005/2fc96bda-719a-49e7-96a5-9c4235de7c42/Ohara+Hale.jpg Macromorphosis Artists - Ohara Hale Ohara Hale is a self-taught artist who works with many different forms and materials. She sings, writes, draws, and performs sounds, words, colors, and movements that are questions and ideas about love, life, nature, and all the unseen, unknown, and dreamed in between. She currently resides on a tiny heart shaped volcano off the coast of Africa. @oharahale https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/595836f32e69cf918e981005/9bc1c709-e270-4e0f-9496-c75a3cf5a81d/Roland+Longstreet+by+Mark+Kushimi+small.jpg Macromorphosis Artists - Roland Longstreet Photo credit: Mark Kushimi, Flux Magazine https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/595836f32e69cf918e981005/e53072ff-5e30-4caa-bc8c-88ba84912659/Nakemiah+Williams.jpg Macromorphosis Artists - Nakemiah (Kiki) Williams Nakemiah (Kiki) Williams is a Polaroid artist whose work involves destroying Polaroids by burning, cooking, ripping, or scratching the image—or, in the case of this exhibition, incorporating foraged organic materials such as mosses, flowers, and leaves. She then scans the Polaroids to make large prints, showing fine details of the damage and material intervention. This deconstructive and transformative process gives visual language for the emotional effects of trauma she endured while serving in the US Army. Her work has been included in group exhibitions “No Shame in My Game” at Arts Unbound (New Jersey), “Time Zero and Beyond: Instant Photography” at Rhode Island Center for Photographic Arts (Rhode Island), “Person/Persona”, ARS Cafe (Hawai‘i), Honolulu Printmakers 92nd Annual Exhibition (Hawai‘i), "Annual Girl Group Show", Treehouse (Hawai‘i) and “Up Close & Personal at Trolley Barn Gallery (NewYork). Her art was showcased in FLUX Hawai‘i Magazine in 2020. Williams completed her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in the spring of 2020 at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa and currently lives in Washington State. @nakemiahwilliams.nw https://avafedorov.com/macromorphosis-art daily 0.75 2023-02-18 https://avafedorov.com/disappear daily 0.75 2026-04-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/595836f32e69cf918e981005/1697779129478-VHM3RUCMYGDSQRR340AY/LMHYAYD+banner+5.jpg Disappear https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/595836f32e69cf918e981005/f216965a-ad1f-4984-9490-1e9a82ddee1d/Screen+Shot+2023-10-20+at+6.49.40+PM.png Disappear - Thank you This exhibition was made possible with support from the Mass Cultural Council and Laconia Gallery (and its mighty volunteers!)
