This series of work reflects Lanny’s response to that environment. He creates his vision using man-made materials of metal mesh, monofilament, wire, acrylic pigments and glass frit that he flame paints, knots, twists and hand models, transforming these elements into ethereal constructions.
Viewers are invited to enter a forest-like environment expressed through embossed mesh wall panels accentuated with leaf shapes, as well as with hanging pods containing luminescent biomorphic structures. Wall mounted basket forms in dialogue with suspended geometric works complete the assemblage and act as codices for the gallery installation hinting at the mysteries of it all.
