« Threshold Drawings » by Artist Lauren Clay

A group of color pencil drawings and hand-marbled wall sculptures by Brooklyn-based artist Lauren Clay (beforehand featured here). Whereas Clay studied portray and works primarily in three dimensions, a good portion of her new works deal with a medium she holds expensive — drawing. In recent times, Clay has broadened her working information of Depth Psychology, developed by the early twentieth century psychiatrist, Carl Jung, who believed that the unconscious thoughts held key private truths about a person unknown to the acutely aware thoughts. Clay illuminates this “different facet” via gentle, ethereal thresholds, upon which one might unlock the mysteries of the unconscious. Alongside the drawings, Clay’s intricate sculptures (solid in hydrocal) seize thresholds, home windows, and stairways.
