Mod-Est Studio Gallery - Barracks 19

Studio E - Barracks 15
Emily Halpren's paintings map her inner world and express an emotional landscape of dreams and fears. They are a diary of fragments from dreams, incidents from daily life, and internal monologues that ground the work in a personal mythology. Strong undercurrents of emotion combine with murky narratives of danger, loss and destruction and reflect a disjointed sense of unease in an unpredictable world. The main source of the work, however, is drawn from opening the locked door of the unconscious through processes inspired by Sigmund Freud, Carl Gustav Jung and Surrealism.
