From the artist, Lauren Elyse S.:
In whose mind does there not exist enchanted values?
My own is a nebulous space, where live blurred impressions and hazy, lamp-lit notions, imagination holding court alongside ember’d passions, all brewing quietly — often impatiently — awaiting sublimation.*
Transmutation of thought into painted existence is, for me, an alchemical turn — a suggestion of magic in this world for those who would see it. Should any doubt this, I offer fireflies.
Featuring scenes of San Diego and farther afield, painted both en plein air and from echoes of memory, to representations of a love of books, the small hours of night, and a curtain drawn back on personal tableaus — these paintings are a gathering of quicksilver moments, longings and musings, drawn out through a bit of quiet alchemy.
*In the archaic sense.
