“‘Coveted Connections’ is about longing for a connection that I cannot or have not had… Artistic and personal growth and transformation have been top of mind for me this year, and putting my feelings into the figures of this work solidifies them for me. There is a spectrum of expressions on topics ranging from serenity, beauty, pain, life, death, and narcissism, all manifesting into something tangible for me… I am always learning through self-discovery and experimentation with my materials, but perhaps the thing I am learning most right now is how to lean further into my own vision and my own internal mythology.” — Lara Dann

In “Coveted Connections”, Dann’s signature use of intricate floral overlays creates a haunting veil, like bruises of lace that shadow her subjects, forming a threshold between two worlds. Vulnerable yet resilient, Dann’s portraits traverse internal landscapes, tracing the artist’s journey through memory, pain, dreams, and fantasy.RELATED:Lara Dann is based in South Carolina but has lived and worked across the United States.
