Much of Erika Rothenberg’s artwork is an act of resistance. Fascinated by the self-help group directories on the façades of religious institutions, her own brand of self-help has been to address the issues of the day such as poverty and racism, addiction, mental and physical abuse, and a score of other injustices. This often includes commentary on the institutions that are charged to help solve these issues but which often fall woefully short. Don’t forget to vote in the midterms!

A Veve is a representation of a Voodoo spirit, or Loa. In the collection we have on view by Scott Froschauer, you are able to view the gunpowder printing press used to create the works using the artists own personal gunpowder recipe. He carves a design into a wood "plate" which he then packs with gunpowder to place on his Gunpowder Printing Press. A canvas is then pressed into the packed plate and the gunpowder is detonated into the canvas to create the sharp lines and trails of smoke that define the image.
