Kathryn Garcia’s The Feminine Divine shares a representation of the female form that challenges the historical narrative and instead enacts the numinous power of female sexuality. Inspired by early Neolithic Goddess idols, and the sacred "V" shape emblematic of fertility, Garcia’s works on paper portray female genitalia as geometric cosmologies similar to the mandala yantra or sacred sites seen from above, and operate as meditative tools, devotional objects, and portals to inner experience.⁣ ---------------------------- GAVLAK Los Angeles is pleased to present: Wisdom Embedded in the Treads, a solo exhibition of recent work by Jamaican American artist Kim Dacres.
