The Hilldale Arcade of Curiosity Engines -- Gregg Williard will exhibit 17 drawings combining complex technical diagrams of impossible machines with the overheated prose of a telemarketer on speed.  

Requiem -- Richard Jones’s Requiem consists of hand blown glass and drawings. Requiem is a two part piece exploring the possibility and limits of the diversity of form. The first component is a collection of blown glass vessel forms generated from a self imposed challenge to create a many unique shapes as possible. The second component is the installation of these vessels coupled with "shadow" drawings of local flora placed temporarily in these vessels.
