Inka Bell (b. 1981) is a Helsinki, Finland-based printmaker who uses minimal groupings of color and pattern to evoke specific states of being. Her palettes create visual narratives that are at once familiar yet foreign. Inka’s prints have the effect of making order out of disorder, giving form to our physical and abstract experiences.

Xochi Solis (b. 1981) is an Austin, Texas-based mixed media artist. Her works include collaged paintings that explore color, texture, and shape through paint, collected paper ephemera, hand-dyed and marbled paper, plastics, and found images from books and magazines. Through a practiced process of layering materials, incorporating the visual depth and illusions of photographic surfaces, Xochi reflects on the visual complexities in her environment, both natural and cultural. Her work communicates a nuanced narrative about time, place, and sensation while grappling with how to represent an environment where her heritage, body, and dreams for the future co-exist.
