Lauren Woods: Invocation

The Visual & Performing Arts Division of Gulf Coast State College presents Invocation by Lauren Woods. The works in this exhibition contemplate the generative process through themes of intuition, collective concepts of interdependence, and human connections with natural cycles of transformation.

Lauren Woods is an artist whose practice and creative research explore concepts of mythic time. Artworks become spaces to examine notions of nostalgia, desire, power, beauty, death, and embodied expression. Personal myth is developed visually across various mediums such as painting, video, and dance performances.

Born in Mobile, Alabama, Lauren received her MFA in painting from the New York Academy of Art after completing her BA in studio art at Spring Hill College. Currently, she is an Assistant Professor of Art in the Department of Art & Art History at Auburn University, where she teaches figure drawing and painting.

The exhibit runs from September 8 to October 6, with an opening reception on the evening of September 8, 5:00p.m. – 7:00 p.m. Lauren will give a gallery talk during the reception. The work will be on display in the Amelia Center Gallery (AC 112). Gallery hours are Monday – Thursday, 10:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m., and Friday 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. Admission is free.
