A graphite drawing on white paper by Haley Prestifilippo. It depicts a crochet doily that appears to be dissolving on its bottom left. There are two geometric triangles that move through the piece made of the artist’s hair. There is a lot of margin around the central image. A square painting by Jason Cytacki. It depicts a privacy fence with a dark sky beyond it. In front of that is a small pizza orbited by 8 cheese and meat crackers with different sized bits taken out of them similar to moon phases. The full moon is a plain cracker and the new moon is an Oreo-type cookie.
