About the artists and their work
She Flies Asunder by Ella Shea
explores circus bodies, specifically women's bodies portrayed through different artistic mediums.
It aims to showcase the strength, grace, and mental fortitude required of many circus disciplines while also highlighting the vulnerability of life in the circus.
Luis Fonseca is a mixed media artist based in NYC.
Luis' practice involves straight and alternative photography, mixed media, and woodworking. When Luis is not in the studio, he can be found on the pitch as a soccer referee.
Luis' pieces are cyanotypes created by having a circus artist lay down on paper coated with iron salts and exposed to UV lights. Although the creation is static in nature, Luis' artworks mimic movement to create stunning impressions of artists arrested in motion.
Julie Jurgens Shea began her career animating the first two season’s of MTV’s Celebrity Death Match.
She continued on to start her own media company, working on projects for, among others, Oprah’s Oxygen Media and The American Veterinary Medical Association. She made the credit sequence for award winning My Mechanical Friend, and animated a comic promotional short for Daniel Sarti Films. Current projects include the illustrations for a children's book, the recurring sets and costumes for PlayOn! Studios children's theater on the Upper West Side of Manhattan and a credit sequence for No Borders Productions.
For this show, Julie has created a set of paintings relating to the circus.
