Gateway

Chad Hayward
Coaxial levels of differing yellow hues progress from a yellow-green circular shape at the core of this piece by Chad Hayward entitled "Gateway." The center of the piece is a deep, red dot surrounded by circles of pink and then brown followed by fine, white dots, then larger pink splotches. The deep red is one of seven dots aligned from top to bottom of the work of art. Two dots closest to center are bright yellow, two dots are dark yellow with a black dot in their center, and the outermost dots are flat

Papillon

Chad Hayward
A green irregular rectangular piece has a dark blue spot rimmed in light blue and surround by yellow with a red orange trim sitting in each of the four corners of the page. The corner dots are linked by a line of red dots that travel along the outer edge of the paper. Inside of the red boundary of dots a field of black dots surround a yellow oval shape trimmed in pink dots with two medium yellow circles arranged vertically and two smaller black dots arranged horizontally on an implied axis.

Element 115

Chad Hayward
A rust colored base sheet peeks out around the edges or brightly colored dots that create a series of concentric ovals & circles. The most outer edge of the paper transitioned from green to turquoise, light blue, and white as the eye travels toward the center of the page. Within the white oval enclosure, two circles sit vertically one above the other. The top circle is primarily blue with a green and yellow focal point and the bottom circle is primarily yellow with a turquoise, red, & maroon focal point.

Acclimate

Chad Hayward
Concentric, amoeba-like forms play off one another in "Acclimate," a piece by Chad Hayward. A ground of black, ultramarine, and dark purple splotches pushes the amoeba-like shapes forward within a ovular shape hung in portrait orientation. The largest shape gradates from a midtoned layer of blue, oceanic dots through other shades to light, sky blue. Other shapes with layers of cerulean blue and ocean green overlap from either side, popping out the concentric shapes of salmon dots encroaching from above,

Shades of purple and blue travel along the left and upper edges of the page to surround a peninsula of brown that extends diagonally across the page from bottom right corner up toward the top left corner. All the shapes are organic; there are no straight lines present in the piece.

Emerge

Andrea Peterson
Cotton is rendered in a loose painterly manner with dabs of white against a background of vibrant sky blue. The bolls are linked to one another and the a chaos of mint green, muted olive green, and golden yellow that fades into blue, purple, and red at the bottom of the page.
