Lauren Mayer’s Artist Statement: “I use the language of accumulation, fossilization, and the void to explore how time visually manifests itself in the physical world. We as humans experience, perceive and record its passage in our bodies and the internal landscape of our minds in the form of memory. Physics, psychology, and philosophy surrounding the nebulous mechanics of time and the push and pull of the non-linear chronology of memory continually inform how I think about my work. I look to the ordered stratification found in the geologic landscape for the visual language to describe the complex human experience within an everyday fleeting moment to the sublimely infinite.
