Patrick Vincent and Lauren Kinney collaborate in woodcut, using imaginary figures and places to articulate the split between seen and unseen, reality and myth, waking and dream. Their work engages the interconnection of animals and humans in folk tales and fairy tales through hidden pictures, symbols, and patterns. These works are ever-evolving as a hybrid of Vincent’s investigation into animal symbolism and Kinney’s surreal, graphic story-telling.
