LI Z T RA N DIVIN E ROR S CH ACH I N T HE F LOWERS OF A HOP EF U L M IN D M I X ED M E D IA WORK FEB RUARY 20 21 Multi-disciplinary artist Liz Tran’s practice and migration of expression digs deep for concave, yet dimensional psychological biographies in which to convey and share messaging. Tran molds her variant context with the broader intentions of a visceral dissection which bridges how constellations incubate the idiosyncratic parlance settled within the natural world. In this new collection of mixed media paintings, Tran articulates infinitesimal symmetry blossoming through Rorschach inkblots. This geometric calligraphy is only a precursor to the convoluted process of subjective interpretation. For Tran, this tonal exercise functions as an apparatus for feelings of reconciliation, aspiration, joy, and equity. In addition to her paintings, the exhibition includes “Spore” an installation that mirrors Tran’s love for mycology and the interconnectivity of mycelium. The common fibers of a shared existence that is embodied in the human condition is at the axis of our interdependence on humanity and nature.
