Laurie Yehia

My current work, informed by sacred geometry, explores synchronicities, interconnections, aggregation, and relationships. This body of work is primarily painted with gouache, graphite and colored pencil. Previous works have been painted in oil paint and mixed media, including collage and re-purposed objects such as switch plates and screws. Installations have also included lights, projection and sound.
