Lauren Bryden 'Ways of Dreaming'

Paul Stolper is pleased to present a new series of works by Lauren Bryden

'The works evolved from drawings made during the summer, and as they started to take shape through autumn I took inspiration from Beira, also known as the Queen of Winter, who is said to have created the ragged Scottish mountains and lochs with her magic staff. She rules until springtime when she succumbs as the earth begins to bloom again. The works move between figures devoured by the landscape and those wielding their power through it, but across the series it’s unclear which is dominant, which will prevail; those with power or those devoured'
