Alyson Provax is a word artist in 2D. She writes the words then prints them in patterns. In To Know What We Say We know is centered on "limitations of language to express our individual perceptions. Words cannot hold all of a feeling: we’re always on the island of momentary perception." These works are small with fine type, it is an accomplishment to print these with letterpress.

Maria Lux brings Noah’s Out-of-Order Ark-ade and Reliquary: a defunct arcade repurposed as a shrine for lost and revived animals.
"Part holy site, part roadside attraction, visitors can pay their respects, or indulge their morbid curiosity, with real(!) replicas of what remains of the saintly animal martyrs of the Anthropocene. Raised with an appreciation of Catholic visual culture, Lux continues her exploration of the religious narratives surrounding species loss, de-extinction science, and cryogenic conservation, offering strange, irreverent, and darkly humorous ways of coping with the absurdity of both the problem of extinction, and its possible solutions."
