LAURISTON AVERY
wildpalms is proud to present Lauriston Avery!
Avery, who lives and works in NY, extensively researches on secular materials, such as soil, mirror, sticks, fur. Translating them into a pictorial form that speaks with a uniquely sensual, rhythmic clarity. The works imply a process of mapping, the cellular body, aerial views of forgotten cities or mysterious constellations subjected to a manic ordering of addition and subtraction.
