Laura Ball : Cosmos
These new watercolors represent access points and maps to the primeval places we all have in common, a familiarity outside of logical explanation, as if connected to the mycelium of the universe.
Throughout human history there have been recurring themes linked to animism. Across disparate cultures, spanning millennia, metaphors reflecting the psyche and the dark reaches of the galaxy have been linked to beasts great and small. Tapping into the collective unconscious, Ball draws inspiration from the primordial, dreamlike state of mind that connects consciousness to the non-verbal, vast cosmos. In the eternal worlds that she creates, interlinking creatures draw strength from one another as they twist and flex in fantastical unison.
