Calliope

Description

Artist Bio:

Tarran Mariah’s practice blends the tactile essence of raw materials with a deep reverence for alchemy. The duality in her works is meant to challenge the viewer to contemplate their own personal bilateral experiences and histories. Utilizing mediums like mica and pigment as well as the exploration of intense textural layering, she transforms imagery into visual stories that resonate with the wisdom of the ancients. This creative process combines sporadic gestural movements and a calculated approach to forge narratives rooted in life’s chemistry. Water is more than a medium in her work; it’s celebrated as an essential, ever-flowing element, symbolizing nature’s fluidity and adaptability. These themes of primeval storytelling and the transformative power of elements echo Tarran’s personal interests, reflecting her profound connection
to both the natural world and the metaphysical realm.
