KALEID Gallery is proud to present:

Gateway by Glyph: a reprise of inner realms
new work by resident artist Laurus Myth

As architectural forms create a means of passage, an arch or entryway marked with glyphs deciphers what lies ahead. The challenges of introspection are alike my relationship with doors and windows. To see-through, to pass by, or to enter is a continuous practice of choice and at times, chance. My language is influenced by nature, technology, and intuition. I use this practice to decode my experience.

Visible through diaphanous layers, circles intersect and repeat into a shape I refer to as the seed. Symbols and rituals are a part of human heritage. Like stories passed on, visual language is an extension of memory, an abstraction of experience, and a tool for communication.

These paintings and sculptures are the result of my journey back into creation. Each piece is close to me in a way that has no specific story, but what I had experienced through making them were states of extreme emotion. The polarity, the femininity, and the fertility of this most recent work has been my passion and struggle to create. It is with fear, trust, and an open heart that I share this work with you from the other side.
