The single images of Lewis Mauk, through his keen, exquisite observation and expression, the common day object becomes heightened fact, undeniably present, an eternal moment. Some images are overlayed with rose thorns, wishbones, fortunes, horoscopes creating a multiplicity of meaning, a poetry; an exposure of the inner, subconscious darkness of the artist's self by the artist’s own insistent light to realize an uneasy and intelligent beauty.
“I mine the personal for ideas. My practice is the cartography of the psyche. My subject matter is both index and evidence of obsessive compulsive behavior, prescriptive and self medicating and the matriarchal influences in my life. I use my work to search for answers and catharsis.”
