What are you doing?

It is hard to say. Somebody has made something. Reuben Lorch-Miller has made some new things. It is a show. It is called Anamnesis of the Interstellar Father.

Anamnesis is the loss of amnesia. It is a form of remembering, the recovery of what has been forgotten. There are psychic memories, which connect to celestial and immaterial origins. Anamnesis dissolves space and time as mechanisms of separation.

What will I see?

You will see what you will see. On the surface you will see three framed works on paper mounted behind colored Plexiglas and a single sculpture.

Expound:

Reuben Lorch-Miller’s drawings, described as “disinhibiting images”, combine elements of both representation and abstraction. These seemingly black and monochrome works on paper are presented through rich chromatic tinted Plexiglas which somewhat obscures the imagery while giving them an intense saturation of color. Light bounces off the paper and through the colored filter causing transition and transformation. Works in motion going in and out of focus creating new perspectives.

Frequencies of mystique flow throughout the work. Polysemantic symbols with layers of potential. Mystery leads to reflection of the mind. The viewer is invited to detach themselves from space and time. To become fully synthesized.

A stark white sculpture plays axis to the drawings, landing somewhere between Brancusi and a radio transmission antenna. The form is an abstraction of a frequency or waveform in the process of contracting and expanding.

Finally, the gallery itself is transformed into a chromatic space with the application of bluish green filters to the single window and door.
