About the Item
Cameron Welch’s new series titled ‘Labyrinths’, act as abstracted landscapes touching on the psychology of the current moment. Their maze-like linear structures weaving in and out of backgrounds referencing ancient Greek key patterns, called Meanders, reflect the turbulent spaces we currently wade through.
Built around mazes, spirals, and garden motifs, the work reframes the chaos of contemporary life through tropes and stories from ancient art history, taking the Labyrinth as both its theme and structure. The frenetic scenes Welch creates — made up of thousands of pieces of hand cut marble, stone, ceramic, and glass — cast a collision of modern and archaic elements that unfurl within the mire of an unruly garden maze. The artist’s material and literary combinations result in a distinctive pictorial intensity, a visual language whose commotion mirrors that of the modern era. Continuing his exploration of contemporary tumult through story and archetype, the artist hones his focus on the meandering paths of the mythical Labyrinth as a setting for this new body of work.
In ancient Greek legend, the Labyrinth was an ingenious maze designed by the architect Daedalus to house the Minotaur, a monstrous half-man, half-bull creature. Theseus, the heroic prince of Athens, volunteered to enter the Labyrinth of Crete to slay the Minotaur, and was gifted a spool of golden thread to follow his path through its winding passages.
In Welch’s hands, ancient history and mythology join the modern day in a synchronous view of time, and in this context the labyrinth takes on a similarly multivalent existence. The maze becomes a trap, a metaphor, and a tool by which awareness is achieved through change. Overgrown with plant life, tied with golden threads, and populated with heroes and monsters alike, Welch’s labyrinthine world is a place of confusion, yet it is also a space rife for growth and exploration.
