Amateur Mycologist Candice EH Cramer
Candice EH Cramer is an artist, amateur mycologist, explorer, and, when pressed to consider it, she admits that she is a cautious optimist. In her studio, minuscule monochrome prints hang like little gems on the walls, while unprinted neon surfaces await forth-coming spore samples and impressions. Larger, murky paintings explore a constellation of mushroom forms, rendered to fill and overflow a dark surface that suggests an infinite network beyond the limits of the rectangle. In recent installations in Maryland Art Place’s Young Blood exhibition and her MICA thesis exhibition, Cramer presented these along with natural wood forms that served as props and pedestals.

On Writing, Representation, and Baltimore’s 20th Annual CityLit Festival
And to me, especially as a creative, you never just witness. You're always a participant. Because the way you feel about something that's happening on stage, it's going to resonate with you in some kind of way. And that's the connection part.

Urban Upcycling with Neighborhood Design Center
The magazine in which this article first appeared—as well as almost everything around you, from the chair you’re sitting in to the building or park where you’re reading—represents embodied carbon. Fossil fuels have already been burned to create almost all man-made materials, and most of those products also contain carbon that could potentially escape to the atmosphere. As long as these objects and places remain intact, their carbon atoms are safely stored as usable matter, until a process such as combustion or aerobic decomposition in a landfill bonds them with oxygen to form the notoriously pesky greenhouse gas CO2.

And the Music Never Stops: Randi Reiss-McCormack’s “Wonderlust”
The first time I saw reproductions of the Maryland-based artist Randi Reiss-McCormack’s fiber-based paintings, I thought, “This person’s work deserves a museum show.” Museums came to mind more vividly and emphatically after seeing, in person, her canvases’ extreme, unique physicality. Right now I’m thinking, “Good for the Myrtle Beach Art Museum,” in South Carolina, where her work is presently on display (January 10-April 16th).

Magdalena’s Chef Scott Bacon on Feminine Energy, Toxic Masculinity in the Kitchen, and the Appropriative Nature of Culinary Culture
Food in general, because it’s beautiful, is not masculine by nature... I think toxic masculinity, especially in the kitchen, doesn’t make any sense. It’s misplaced. We’re trying to do this thing that is inherently an expression of love and we’re all mad at each other and we’re puffing our chests.

Glenstone: The Art of Cultivation
As a Baltimore city-dweller, what disrupted my sense of normalcy upon my first visit to Glenstone was not the art. Instead, I was jarred by the impact of a meadow, expansive and diverse in vegetation, buzzing and jumping and rustling with wildlife, all peacefully illuminated below the wide, cloudy sky.
