Beth Hansen, born and raised in New Mexico, is a multimedia artist and arts organizer. She works in video, installation, illustration, painting, and graphic design. She is concerned with the language of the uncanny, embracing weird trash, kitsch, ephemera, cultural artifacts, and the fiber of time and memory.

She often composes sound for her films and expanded cinema work. She exhibits and screens nationally and internationally and is a member of the Boston based AgX Film Collective. www.susandeleo.com
Miche Mellor: sewing, binding, moving-image animation, 16mm filmmaking, and alternative photographic processes all inform the physical nature of their work. Arising out of the intersections of these mediums, they offer a stitching together of their direct experience to the everyday phenomena of life. Their relationship with the creative act offers an unraveling of truths and a reconfiguration of meaning to which a spirit can rest and come home.
