Artists Erin Ashford + Amandalynn are excited to create their largest Cyanotype project yet. The have prepared a 25ft long x 11ft tall piece of cyanotype fabric and are inviting you to be part of the art.

 

By signing up for the project, you are invited to come lay in the sun and have your form permantly captured in time by the exposure of the sun. Each person is asked to bring some item and/or pose that holds special meaning to them.

 

They will then be asked to lay on top of the fabric while Erin and Amanda place items around them to create a beautiful composition. After about 20 mins, everyone will be asked to get up and the fabric will be rinsed off to develop a once in a lifetime creation.

 

The entire project will be captured from above by drone footage and a final photo will be taken. Each participant will experience the magical medicine of collaboration and will recieve a downloadable video of the project as well as a final custom photo print.

The art exhibition features a collection of unique artists who each depict their own personal vision of what ‘Medicine’ means to them. Meet the artists.

Lucien Shapiro

Dancing between life and death, my art is rife with found objects, textures, cast forms, manipulations, and raw substances. Treating forgotten objects and memories as treasure, I create a kingdom under which new life is born through sculpture.

The most important themes I draw upon in my art practice are transformation, repetition, meditation, and growth. In a world of rapid climate change, by utilizing materials most would discard, I create a raw conversation between treasure and trash. I typically use materials like bottle caps and “street diamonds” (glass from vandalized cars I sweep off the street), thereby transforming them into something new and hopeful. Through laborious and meditative repetition, I examine how small individual elements, though often overlooked, can come together to create a powerful and transformative whole. By using found and collected materials, I explore ways to reshape and relearn what we are originally taught. There is an inherent duality in my work, namely the contrast of urban materials (which are ephemeral, prescribed, industrial) and an aesthetic of something deeply rooted (poetic, hand-crafted, and eternal).

I am interested in dissecting every element that creates the human I am today. This goes back through generations of family trauma, education, parenting, and guidance. Through creation I have the opportunity to tear all of this down and rebuild it over and over again. This is why my work concentrates on objects of intention, like self portraits, portals, protection walls, and earth spells. These forms echo a language that lives in my experiences of deep self work, experimentation and travel.

This fluidity of thought and purpose informs all of my work and currently I’m primarily focusing on the evolution of my inner Self. I am laying bare and opening up to whatever the future may bring. In this way, my work is now more transparent and a symbol of my growth as an artist and human.
