Tea Makipaa
 - Tea is a Finnish artist born in 1973 who centers her work around the relationship between nature and technology and the impending ecological disaster. Tea works across mediums, using video, photography, installation, and sculpture to relay her message and open conversations. Tea states that because her methods are often extreme or outlandish a healthy level of confusion in viewers is welcomed. She states that often times her works are not initially seen as art, adding to the confusion, and hopefully starts conversations.

Andy Goldsworthy
 - Andy is a British artist born in 1965 who predominantly works as a sculptor and a photographer. Andy typically works on site - specific installations that focus on natural materials and the decay over time. Using rocks, twigs, leaves, and ice Andy creates structures and then continually photographs them through their natural course of deconstruction. He states that he is less concerned with the idea of it being art, and is more focused on the concept of life, and the fact that most things in life do not last forever but have a continued history.
