Broadsided artists come to this project through a love of collaboration. Graphic designers, sculptors, painters, photographers, and artists of every sort are represented here. Once Broadsided artists have "Dibsed" a piece of writing selected for publication, they create a response without any input from the editors.

Jennifer Bevill (jenniferbevill.com): I grew up in Tornado Alley in northern Alabama, where the dirt really is red and the landscape flat and ugly. My grandmothers and great-grandmothers shaped my sensibility. I grew up in a world of strange southern women visiting in kitchens, making weekly trips to the cemetery for fun and to the 5 & 10 for paint-by-number sets. Today, I live in Brooklyn with my family. After graduating from Parson's School of Design, getting an master's from Teacher's College, and working as a teaching artist in the Guggenheim Museum's Learning Through Art program, my work remains rooted in my southern childhood and twisted by a dark humor.

Using sources ranging from Jungian philosophy to classical myth to images from popular culture, I question what happens when mismatched archetypes cross paths in disjointed landscapes. Erasure, fragmentation, juxtaposition, and revision are key elements to all forms of my work."

Cheryl Gross has an MFA in New Forms from Pratt. She writes: "When asked about my work, I always equate it with creating an environment transforming my inner thoughts into reality. Much like an architect or urban planner, that reality and humor becomes the foundation of the work. Beginning with the physical process, I work in layers. Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, my urban influence has indeed added an "edge" to my work. Coming from a totally vertical and intense environment, I now live in Jersey City, NJ. The rural countryside by contrast to the city is horizontal and peaceful." www.cmgross.com
