Paracosms brings together Carlotta Amanzi, Carly Burnell, Ted Gahl, Mimi Lauter, Kristy Luck, Shane Rossi, and Peter Shear around imagination as a precise instrument — the inner room we never stop returning to, rendered outwardly visible through paint. Amanzi's oil and charcoal canvases hold earlier states legible beneath later ones; Burnell layers atmosphere through oil, wax, and resin until landscape becomes a presence of absence; Luck lets organic forms surface and recede, honoring a matrilineal inheritance severed by the Sixties Scoop; Lauter treats the garden as sacred theatrical space; Gahl builds dense all-over surfaces where mineral and growth are indistinguishable. Seven distinct idioms, one constancy: interiority made transmissible
