The Seattle Arts Coalition & the Georgetown Liquor Co present:
"Goddesses & Monsters"
Laura Diane Cameron
Opening reception:
Saturday, 7 July from 6-9pm
Showing through 3 September 2017
Even monsters get to be the Heroes of their own stories. Goddesses and Monsters have trampled all over my two-decade-plus art journey, showing up to frequent my inner landscape until I create a painting to tell their tale. A few favorite characters are featured here: Raven Goddesses, Tree Spirits, Daemons & other assorted Mythic Beings.
The word “daemon” is a curious thing—common vernacular translates the word that invokes an evil monster: “demon”. But go back far enough to the original Greek (Daimon) and Latin (Daemon) root itself, “Daemon” means indwelling spirit or deity. In modern times, a daemon is a computer program that runs in the background. My daemons provide never-ending inspiration, and, occasionally, exasperation.
