< Back Priyanka Rana AUG 30 - JAN 11 Our Stories Live Underground Born in India in 1980 and now based in San Francisco's Bay Area, I established my full-time sculpture practice in 2018 after serving as Vice President in the exhibitions industry and working as a market research consultant. My practice centers on an intimate dialogue with wood—specifically naturally felled trunks that I transform into abstract sculptures exploring ecology, memory, and cross-cultural connection. Largely self-taught, I have developed a distinctive sculptural language through direct experimentation with materials, allowing me to create techniques that emerge organically from the wood itself rather than from prescribed methodologies. My technical approach lies in a unique process I have developed with fire. Drawing from my Indian heritage, where fire represents sacred transformation, I use controlled charring to "paint" wooden surfaces, revealing the hidden architecture of growth rings and grain. This technique—exemplified in my redwood sculptures—involves expanding the wood's surface area threefold through careful carving, then applying fire to create rich, textured finishes that speak to cycles of destruction and renewal. The resulting works transform solid mass into something ethereal, making visible the temporal layers embedded within the material. Beyond wood, I incorporate culturally significant textiles—saris and lungis from my multicultural community, as well as individual sari threads that I weave into carved surfaces—that bridge themes of migration and intimate history with larger environmental narratives. Recent explorations have expanded into aluminum, metal casting of wood forms, and 3D printing, maintaining my focus on the intersection of traditional craft and contemporary concerns. My work has been widely exhibited across California, featured in prominent arts festivals, and realized through public art commissions that engage directly with local communities. I hold degrees in Mathematics and Economics and an MBA. Artist Statement: It took me a long time to own that I am an artist. Beginning my sculpture practice late in life, I discovered in wood a collaborative partner willing to tell stories—both mine and its own. The title of this exhibition, borrowed from Terry Tempest Williams' "When Women Were Birds," speaks to the hidden narratives that live beneath the surface, waiting for the right conditions to emerge. This exhibition spans several series from my practice, exploring themes of memory, nostalgia, and destiny while reflecting on healing, human behavior, and our relationships with the natural world. It bridges the cultural heritage of my Indian origins with the multicultural fabric of my Bay Area home. In our increasingly disconnected world, trees offer profound lessons about interdependence—their underground networks remind us that isolation is an illusion, that we are constantly in relationships through unseen connections. As you encounter these works, I invite you to pause and reflect: Which of your own stories live underground? What narratives are waiting to be revealed? These sculptures ask for slower looking, deeper listening, reminding us that the most profound stories—like the most resilient forests—grow their strongest connections underground, in the dark, patient spaces where transformation quietly takes root.

< Back Laurus Myth JAN 25 - APR 27 Portals & Passages: An evolution of paintings, sculptures, and social magic Local artist Laurus Myth debuts Portals and Passages, her first solo exhibition at the Triton Museum of Art, 1505 Warburton Ave. (January 25 - April 27, 2025.) Portals and Passages is a reflection point, weaving together Laurus’ portfolio of work across disciplines. From vivid colors, patterns, and layered paintings evolving into sculptural forms, Myth leans into art to tell stories of connection and relationship. Myth’s visual language is influenced by nature, technology, and intuition as they use symbols to decode their experience. Portals and Passages transforms Triton’s Warburton Gallery with works that draw viewers through moments of connection. This expansive body of work bridges dualities: technology-nature, movement-stillness, internal-external, and day-night. Artist Statement: Laurus Myth is an Asian-American interdisciplinary artist raised in Silicon Valley. A born innovator, Myth follows a creative and intuitive path as she fabricates and curates intentional spaces. Drawn to sacred architecture and mental landscapes, her work is colorful, symbolic, and deeply immersive. Myth’s experiential practices birthed several installations she calls “Social Magic.” Visually drawing– these playful and often temporary installations invite us to connect with our narratives and become part of a larger story. The artist turns the museum's gallery into a spatial story with codes and keys leading us to places unseen. Portals and Passages distill the last decade of Social Magic into new queries, forms, paintings, and sculptures. Previous Next
