Cameron Martin
analogue
Ken Johnson called Martin's paintings "contemporary icons that stand for deep-running collective urges, like the fantasy of an intimate connection with nature." This artist's book/monograph positions appropriated advertisements, snapshots, found images and studio pictures alongside reproductions of paintings and drawings, providing a view of the artist's thinking about representation of the contemporary landscape.

Jody Fausett
Second Place
"Like advertisements for a place you might not want to visit, Jody Fausett's photographs sizzle with inchoate menace. Fragility and a whiff of violence collide in a body of work centered on Fausett's kin and the vacant-eyed critters who attest to the family's favorite avocation of taxidermy" -Felicia Feaster, Creative Loafing

J. Penry
Castles and Christians
"J. Penry's work encompasses sexuality, the media, popular culture, and nostalgia, functioning as a reflection of himself and his generation. His sometime pornographic subject matter is almost satirical and is of vital sociological importance." - Annie Ok, curator
