Thresholds by Laura Benson

By (author): Laura Benson

Title: Thresholds

Subtitle: Selected Works

Blurb:

Through the lens of surreal mysticism, everything is a doorway. Pattern is recognized over time and repetition is uncovered through consistency of making. Stories evolve when told and retold, myth is molded and remolded with each new hand that carries it forward. Thresholds uncovers intuitive patterns and surreal connections woven within Laura Benson’s artistic practice by gathering illustrations, sculptures, writings and more from the past five years. The mythic works within converse and respond to one another, creating a curated overview of Benson’s ever-growing world of creatures, arcane imagery, hidden meaning and unconscious pattern. Influenced by the mystified minds of the Middle Ages, the women of the surrealist movement, the natural and supernatural realms, Benson’s work wades into the undercurrent of the collective unconscious. Thresholds is a gathering of careful reflection—an emphasis on the precipice, a determined and curious step towards the unknowable.
