color, cut, stripe + mark

"color, cut, stripe and mark are the words that describe this body of work. all four are the actions used to make the piles and the wall installation. when making the paintings all of the words are physically represented with the exception of cut. cut can be replaced in the paintings with the word stick.

paradise lost
an eco-reading of milton’s epic poem paradise lost suggests ideas of stewardship of the land along with the monumental exploration of our inner selves. modern sensibilities can appreciate the story of the fall from grace, bringing “eden” into perspective during these crucial times of environmental crisis. whether it be our understanding of our role in the control of wildfires in giant sequoia groves to protecting the health of phytoplankton microorganisms in the great barrier reef, we must all tend our garden and come to know the earth. this work is a response to the conflicting forces in this shifting imbalance of paradise.
--ruth ava lyons, 2014
a vine grows around it
weed. dig. dance. observe. communicate. pollinate. bloom. my art explores personal mythmaking, and the dualities-- fate/luck and choice, security and insecurity, belief and knowing— often involved in shaping our stories; and it also often references literature, mythology, the cosmos, current events , and especially the flora and fauna of my southern environment—and paradox.

a theme that is ever present in this exhibition is timeless places. the unpredictable nature of these collage paintings lead me and inspire freshness for what I love to do. the artist, marc chagall once said, “art must be an expression of love or it is nothing”. my thirst for places of uniqueness have taken me on this creative journey.
