Archie Rand
Painter who completed a very ambitious project of painting all of the Jewish commandments. What would that look like for Mormons? We have just as many rules, right?

What is the nature of the miraculous, of divinity or grace? What does it mean to share the planet with other creatures who inhabit very different life worlds from our own? What are my responsibilities as an artist or a person regarding historical events that transpired in another time and place? Can something familiar become strange and, in so doing, transform who I am and how I see?

Lucy Mink Covello
Great interview: http://hyperallergic.com/251543/beer-with-a-painter-lucy-mink-covello/
" I had an interest in things that were weird and that did not need a lot of explanation."
"I think my obsession with hiding thoughts in paintings will continue to grow. With social media, and media in general, there are a vast amount of stories out in the world. But painting always holds mystery, and you can keep coming back to it. Like the poetry and lyrics I am drawn to, I don’t need answers for them, or plots, or outcomes. I like vague."
