“UNTITLED,” Kiernan Lofland
By accessing notions pictorial landscape, the image recalls the depth, breadth, and seeming boundlessness of an unknown terrain. This alien expanse, built in the studio, relies on constructed material to frame a scene in between paper, plaster, and suppositious landscape.

Lofland has taught at the University of Nebraska Omaha and the University of Nebraska Lincoln. He lives and works in Lincoln, NE, making money as an artist, a teacher, and experienced odd-job expert.
“Aspens and Pines” and “Missouri Frost,” Ross Peter Nelson
Sometimes in Montana, the seasons change rapidly -- the first snows falling while the trees are yet green. In the year of these photos, however, winter advanced more slowly, allowing color to bloom in the Nevada range and frost to lick the edges of the great Missouri River.
Ross Peter Nelson is a playwright living and working in Montana. He served as playwright-in-residence at Can Serrat (Spain) and serves as Associate Producer for the Last Chance New Play Fest (Helena). When not writing, he finds inspiration hiking and photographing. His photos were recently exhibited at the Livingston Art Center.
