Lunchbreak
Sharon Lockhart is known for her formally strict and conceptually precise films and photographs that often explore social subject matter. To create Lunch Break, Lockhart spent one year in Bath, Maine, at the Bath Iron Works shipyard, observing and engaging with workers during their daily routines. The resultant film installations and series of photographs focus on the activities of these workers during their time off from production.

Needle Work
“Allison Smith's work draws on ‘living history’ museums, battlegrounds, and most recently, the Internet, to explore gendered conventions of craft, constructions of national identity, and experiences of violence. The exhibition centers on Smith's recreation of European and American gas masks from World War I and World War II, and includes staged photographs with the masks and images of the masks on silk parachutes printed by Washington University's Island Press.”
