德国摄影师Jochen Lempert的作品专注于自然和动物。在上世纪90年代从事摄影之前，他是一位生物学家。这样的双重身份造就了介于科学与艺术，理性与感性，真实与虚拟，抽象与具象的风格。
“他真正质疑了何谓摄影画面，虽以自然的事物为题材，但因为用粗糙的手法拍摄，于是让摄影画面裡产生某种虚拟现实的东西。此外，很重要的是“接近”（proximity）和“距离”的问题：你必须接近摄影画面，才能看出里面的状态。然后你必须再后退，来感受整幅影像的向度。（他的作品呈现了）介于抽象和具象之间的界线，以及质疑摄影画面作为某种在真实之外的自主性的存在（autonomous entity）。他的照片并不呈现真实，但创造它们自己的某种真实。”（via）
Jochen Lempert is a German photographer whose work is about the world of nature and animals. Lempert first studied as a biologist before turning to photography in the early 1990s. Accordingly, his pictures are marked with scientific aspects, not only referring to his motives but more to the whole process of photography.

艺术家Nalini ‘Deedee’ Cheriel现居洛杉矶。出生于嬉皮之镇尤金，19岁就有了自己的乐队和唱片厂牌。她的创作自1990年代早期就开始了，包括绘制各类唱片封套和T恤。她的作品呈现出多元文化的碰撞与融合，灵感主要来源于东印度寺庙意象、朋克摇滚、太平洋西北地区自然环境等。
Nalini ‘Deedee’ Cheriel is a visual artist based in Los Angeles. She started out creating record covers and T-shirts for the Oregon music scene in the early ‘90s. Born in the hippie town of Eugene, Oregon, she began her own band and record label at the age of 19. With influences derived from such opposites as East Indian temple imagery, punk rock, and her Pacific Northwest natural environment, her images are indications of how we try to connect ourselves to others and how these satirical and heroic efforts are episodes of compassion and discomfort.

Kenna Moser现居美国贝里布里奇岛，她用从古董店里收集来的邮票、信件、图书、字典，与自然中的碎片，如蕨类植物、羽毛、花卉，在木板上做拼贴，用蜂蜡覆盖后，再用油画进行局部的细致描绘，来创造出属于她自己的生态系统和视觉语言。“跟大的画作相比，小画作更容易让你在一个小空间里产生共鸣”，Kenna Moser说。
Kenna Mose lives in Bainbridge Island. These paintings begin with an antique letter and collage elements carefully cut out, glued to a wood panel and followed by a signature layer of beeswax. The beeswax is applied hot, smoothed and buffed. Garden specimens and small figures are painted on top of the wax. The resulting paintings speak to a personal relationship with the written word and the natural environment. “Big paintings come at you. Little ones require you to approach them and experience them in a small space,” says the artist Kenna Moser.
