RENEWING MEMBER: LIANA PATTIHIS
Tell us something about your working process.
I listen to music whilst I work. It’s always present, sometimes subtle and unobtrusive and other times loud and unapologetic. It transcends boundaries, conscious and subconscious, as it allows my imagination to flow and my spirit to heighten. It clears my thoughts, invites play, and enhances my creativity.

RENEWING MEMBER: ADRIANA RADULESCU
What's something hardly anyone knows about you as an artist?
I find value and inspiration in almost anything. I once got pulled by airport security for having a rusted scraper blade in my wallet, something I had picked up off the street because it had a beautiful aged texture and patina.
