Erica is a young social researcher and lifehacker from the Bayou State and a graduate of Centenary College of Louisiana with a BA in Political Science and a BA in Psychology. Her work spans medium divides, bringing her social skills to musicians, filmmakers, public artists and photographers alike. Continuing her studies from the road, she followed the migratory patterns of transient communities to Elsewhere.

Bill Lusk grew up as a hybrid southerner/mid-westerner who always got in trouble with his mother for staring. Otherʼs lives fascinated him, hence, he became a photographer of people. Later, when he studied sculpture he focused on the formal aspects of visual expression; space, line, balance, etc. Combining this language and concepts involving otherʼs personal progressions of time and their connections or junctures en route emerged as a consistent theme in all aspects of his work. His focus on the post-production of imagery is a mnemonic that one is not viewing photo-documentations of events but, rather, one possible frame of reference for real events.

Lusk was educated as a fine artist at the University of North Carolina, Greensboro. He works on commercial assignments, commissioned portraiture, print sales, educational workshops and book projects. Lusk divides his time between New York and North Carolina with his wife, Fran and his family.

I’m Giada, an artist now living in Seattle. I was born in Vicenza, a little town in between the Alps and Venice. My artistic education/training began at about the age of 14 when I started high school. The next step into the world of Art was through University at the “Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia,” an ancient institution funded in 1750. After graduation, I moved to Hong Kong where I lived for almost three years. My arrival in Seattle had a big influence on my design and technique: perfecting, sharpening and cleaning them.My work involves different media, researching on optical illusion, symbolism and the primitive gesture. Lately I’ve been focusing on two almost 3 dimensional collages, telling stories and playing with different materials. The subject always varies according to the message or vice versa; they generate in symbiosis with the process. I never know what the work is going to look like until it's finished.

Emily Ensminger, born in Durham, NC, is a conceptual artist and advocate for independent multi-use live/work organizations. Through programming, textiles and functional systems, Emily’s work addresses necessity as a creative practice operating at the intersection of admin, art, and daily life.

Emily led the organization as Creative Director (2018-2020).

Ben Gansky is a director, performer, writer, designer, and producer of performance - based events; he has worked independently and with collaborators all over the world.  He believes that line-dancing offers the potential for transformative community experiences. He co-founded The Wild Plan, a (now-annual) national, ticket-less backyard tour of experimental theatre and cocktails in 2011, and from 2010 until its dissolution in 2011 served as an artist-in-residence and administrator of 1419, an interdisciplinary arts collective in Minneapolis operating, oddly enough, out of a historic three-story storefront space. Ben believes that confusion is very helpful. He is ambivalent about being raised in the suburbs of Baltimore and happy that he was born in California, although this happiness is complicated because it was Sacramento.

Kay Kelley / House Fellow is seeking to sweeten 15 sour years of servitude within the hospitality industry by experimenting with creative, healthy and sustainable methods of producing, processing and serving foods.  Prior to Elsewhere, Kay learned basic organic farming and herbal medicine skills on farms throughout the country and gained certifications in yoga and Thai massage at ashrams and yoga centers. After obtaining her BFA at Guilford College in Greensboro, she did a small stint in grad school, pursuing her passion: drawing and printmaking.  She laughs obscenely loud and often.
