"Art, Science, or Forensics". by Robert Lloyd. Recent digital works on paper exploring AI as a tool. This is not just an exhibition but a catalyst for conversation. It invites participants to transcend the 'us versus them' mentality and to envision a world where differences are celebrated rather than feared. Through a blend of artistic expression, scientific exploration, and forensic scrutiny, it seeks to inspire both individual introspection and collective action towards a more unified and equitable society. Bob is a retired photography and digital imaging professor from Eastern Washington University and an activist for change in the Black Community.

GALIMATIAS is a collection of prints that reflects Reinaldo's experiences as a father and provider. It is inspired by daily family walks in Spokane, where he observes his surroundings and transforms the random imagery in his head into visual narratives infused with dark humor and irony.
The artwork reflects the realities of Reinaldo's life and his process of learning to "let go" and accept the uncontrollable aspects of living. This concept of letting go is also present in the technical process of reduction relief printing, which Reinaldo uses to enrich the illustrations he creates. He challenges himself to develop large-scale "Suicide Blocks" and small lithographs, using found MDF, cultural archetypes, repetition in both the printing process and the composition patterns, and the absence or presence of color. GALIMATIAS is an experimental exploration of playful image-making, inviting viewers to find beauty in the challenges we can't control.
