Piece description from the artist
As a thought crystalizes in the mind, this is the state where we are in the flow of life and everything synchronizes or “gels”. This natural state of understanding, where things are crystal clear, is the goal. The gold and blues blend together with the harmony of the six-sided geometric structure of quartz. The deeper rhythms can be seen in this painting with “V” shaped stripes influenced from the patterns of blue agate held in the hand of the artist while painting. The alternating vibrations of the crystal amplify the oscillation of ideas and the clarity of choice.
Laura McClanahan's artwork is an exploration of natural patterns. Her main thesis is a study of water forms as a metaphor for thought patterns. Through photography and painting, Laura experiments with abstract imagery inspired by nature and her inner understanding of micro and macro patterns. Her images could be celestial or microscopic, this is her understanding of "as above, so below".
Laura is a graduate of Maryland Institute College of Art with an MFA degree in Studio Art. She uses experimental techniques with color darkroom photograms, video and large format printing. Laura continues to expand her explorations via paintings with resin and gemstones sold at Gemstone Gallery in Frenchtown, NJ. Having moved to the Big Island of Hawaii. She teaches painting classes and performs live painting at festivals and events. Her art installations can be found in local stores, Airbnb's and temple spaces island wide.
