Her first solo exhibition, "Migrant Traps and Other Drawings," was based on experiences birding the UTC (Upper Texas Coast). Ms. Graetz is unable to explain why she finds the close observation of birds and their behavior so thrilling. A former member of the Mobius Artists Group, Linda's North American Life List stands at 563 birds. </div> <bR> <div> <B>Meredith Morten</B> developed a fascination for bird behavior at an early age when she believes a bird stole a treasured gold trinket she dropped on a wooded path. Her mother told her that crows like small shiny objects and take them to their nests. She spent a lot of time looking at treetops and crows. Meredith (previously known as Meredith Davis) is a former Mobius Artist Group Member (1988-2002). She exhibits regionally and internationally and is Chair of the Sculpture Department at Montserrat College of Art in Beverly. Meredith lives in Fort Point with her cat Danny who studies gulls and pigeons. </div> <bR> <div> <B>Tom Plsek</B> Trombone explorer Tom Plsek has been stretching trombones and our concepts of them for years. His compositions include pieces for ensembles and solo trombone often involving improvisation and technology. Tom has performed with such artists as Jerry Hunt, Malcolm Goldstein, Joseph Jarman, Phill Niblock, the Merce Cunningham Dance Company, Joe Morris, Marjorie Morgan, and with the Outsider Quartet. He has performed at New Music America in 1983 and 1986. He is Chairman of the Brass Department at Berklee College of Music in Boston and a member of the Mobius Artists Group and Not Frida.

The bird of ill omen, the raven fliese to and fro; pulling away she laughs, smelling life the scavenger recedes. </div> <bR> <div> <B>Alisia L. L. Waller</B>: Ms. Waller is the Director of the And So No Sin Performance Troupe, an umbrella organization for her many performance, film and sculpture - related projects. Along with the miniature version of the Fort Point Channel she has created collaboratively with Naomi Bennet (soon to star in a short film), Ms. Waller works relentlessly with Renee Farster (aka Frankie Cocktail) on a never-ending series of drag/high femme duets which explode one by one onto the performance scene like so many glass jars of glitter flung from atop the Pru into the crowds below. </div> <bR> <div> <B>Naomi Bennet:</B> Naomi Bennett is a local performer and teacher of Physical Comedy and Movement and has studied in Italy, Montreal, NYC, and the Greater Boston Area. She is currently working with the Illegitimate Theatre Company on their new musical, 'Titticut Follies,' and choreographed and acted in their previous productions, including 'Mad Maids' (based on Genet's The Maids). </div> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
