“I’m really lucky to have roommates who don’t care very much.”

. I finished school with my graduate show at 80WSE and made what felt like a symbolic walk of shame, towing my artworks from my East Village studio to my bedroom. Lancaster’s work at first seems like a photograph or digitally rendered, but further inspection reveals the delicate nature of herphotorealistic style. “I paint in reverse on glass from snapshots, both from my family’s albums and photographs I collect,” she explains. Glass has its own limitations, though. “Since bringing the studio into my living space, I’ve noticed that I tend to stay away from making very large paintings.
Thompson grew up in Massachusetts and moved to the city after studying architecture at Yale. “For a long time, I thought I was going to follow the architecture path, working in design illustration and on construction sites,” he says. “The whole time, though, I was fantasizing about art, sketching sculptures and planning videos in the evenings. When I got laid off from one of these jobs, I had an opportunity to use the extra time to live off unemployment and savings and get some footing.
During my visit, Thompson is bouncing from one side of the room to the other, unearthing different projects from past and current work. The entire space looks like a laboratory with tools alongside his folded laundry and tiny handcrafted trinkets everywhere. “The sculptures can look like anything from a gizmo to an artifact, and materially they are very raw,” he says.
Martin wears many hats in the art arena: She works in custom framing on top of being a printmaker, painter, and textile expert. The back wall of her apartment is decorated with current pieces, all revolving around landscapes and the human imprint that affects them. “I use printmaking, painting, and textiles to create a portrait of a place. I capture how places or locations change over time, altered by humans, bulldozing land, expanding and re-creating,” Martin explains.
