Tension
Timothy Bergelin • Marshfield, Wisconsin

In Memoriam
Digital artist, Scott Menzel, passed away in April 2023 at the age of 47. His January 2020 exhibit in the LTCA Gallery, a one-of-a-kind piece in the Tack's Permanent Art Collection and the striking artwork for three season brochure covers stand in tribute to his ability to "rock and shock the world with bold visual poetry." Scott was an inspiration to all who knew him and will be deeply missed.
