Heath, a multidisciplinary artist with roots in illustration, photography, advertising, publishing, music production, and motion graphics, channels memories of youthful outdoor adventures, blending nostalgia with scenes where human touch meets the wild. Putnam turns from tech design toward tactile practices like printmaking, ceramics, and collage to create pieces that feel both discovered and made. Taylor reimagines familiar logos and campaigns, using humor and reinterpretation to examine branding as a shared cultural language and to invite a fresh look at symbols that carry emotion, identity, and cultural values.
