“Although Amy Myers is well known for her monumental-scale drawings, we are showing more intimate pieces of her drawings and paintings. Myers is influenced by her interest in the implications of quantum mechanics. Sensitive to the emotive properties of color, her mixed-media drawings and paintings evolve as poetic imaginings and intuitive explorations of theories related to ideas as small as the atom and as big as the birth of galaxies. Through graphite, ink, gouache, conte, and oil paint, Myers portrays nearly symmetrical forms that seem organic and mechanical, inviting viewers to engage with the layered details and the sense of vibration and spinning energy they portray. Myers says, “My work is a gender fluid lens into the unseen world of molecules and atoms, the laws that govern their interaction, coupled with the exposure to ideas concerning scientific experimentation within the notion that everything is a combination of something else.”
