Angelo Arnold
Through the comfortable format of furniture, I present concepts of metamorphosis, change and subversion of the self. I create custom works that embrace change and present possibilities for adaptation to new, unfamiliar environments and situations.
These metamorphic forms deconstruct the functional object to establish a foundation or platform to recall memories, stories and uncanny events. Through my reconstructed objects, I reference a vocabulary of furniture. The removal of the functional aspects of the forms subverts the viewer’s expectations and provokes new interpretations. The objects are made from wood and steel armatures, and are then upholstered.
I have used the site in Stowe to establish an imagined environment of familiar objects that have been created with an unfamiliar twist.

Renga is a Japanese form of collaborative poetry that refers primarily to nature and the seasons. The practice of writing renga seems to have begun in the 12th century. The first renga were written at social gatherings that included people from all classes of society; these events were often likened to a group of people drinking saké together. The cooperative nature of the form seems especially well suited to the public display of writing and sculpture in Stowe.
Five poets contributed to the renga for Exposed, following rules on the number of syllables and number of lines used in each link. Some rules were altered slightly to fit the constraints of the exhibition — for example, the Stowe renga has ten links, which is unusually short. Traditionally, each link in the renga relates only to the one that precedes it, so the first writer emailed his link to the next writer on the list, and she wrote her lines in response. She then sent only her link to the subsequent writer. This pattern continued until all the links were written.
Renga do not tell stories; instead, they leap from one link to the next or, in Stowe, from one window to the next. These transitions offer the opportunity for readers to create an individual journey as they travel through Stowe along the path of the renga.

Ceres Zabel
This work grows from the artist’s continued investigation of mankind’s perception as it relates to the global community, the celestial community, and the creative conscience of the universe. Where are we in the evolution of ourselves?
In Nea Yis, a new earth is emerging only as the outer shell cracks open. The tiles suggest earth’s geographic features: continents, tectonic plates and ice melt. Their direction displays the dynamic movement of ocean and air currents – energy forces that play a subliminal part in directing the choices we make every day. In this way, earth is internal to us…it is part of our very being.

Tyler Vendituoli
If a mountain town were to be represented musically, it would be a jazz quartet led by a double bass. Lively, funky, but with an air of sophistication around its edges, the bass pulls out a groove that everyone happily falls into.
Double-Up was inspired by a single piece of metal, found in an abandoned house in the Bahamas. From this humble start, it will now provide a rhythm to the natural music of summer, of wind through the grass, birds in the trees, and pedestrians passing by.
