440 East Oliver Street : 21201

Inside Outside is a series of drawings that explores balance through geometric compositions filled with meditative line. By emphasizing dualities such as dark/light, unity/division, and geometric/organic, I seek resolutions in which they work together in meaningful ways. In a similar way I believe transcendence can be found by working with and through the dualities of life. Making the drawings is a meditative practice for me and the images become objects of reflection.

The series currently contains over 100 pen and ink drawings, 71 of which are shown here. Most of the drawings are either 4 x 4 in. or 8 x 8 in., with the exception of one 30 x 50 in. drawing.

After dropping out of MICA as a sophomore in the fall of 2017, Wyatt Mitchell has spent the past two years developing his work on his own. In that time he has explored many different mediums and ways of working before coming to focus on meditative pen and ink drawings for the past year. His work is influenced by a study of math, geometry, psychology, and spirituality; as well as artists such as Hilma af Klint, Richard Pousette-Dart, Agnes Martin, and Anni Albers. His practices of art, yoga, and tattooing compliment one another as he seeks to live a balanced life.

as they lay | Performance
Friday, November 22nd • 7pm

Waller Gallery
2420 Calvert Street : 21218

to introduce the realm of as they lay, blakkFRUIT will be a performance piece featuring sound, poetry, and dialogue presented by Abdu Ali in collaboration with poets Maya Martinez, Jaylnn Harris, and musician Paneglica.

inspired by the theories of Paulo Freire, Ali believes that for art to be radical and revolutionary, it must be activated by becoming accessible through cooperative discourse and exchange. using the art of sound and sacred writings, where themes of self care, vulnerability, rage, or love are explored, followed by open reflective dialogue between everyone who is present, blakkFRUIT will be a celebratory performance seeking to create sanctuary and a therapeutic forum for those who exist in the margins of society.

about as they lay: created by Abdu Ali and based in Baltimore, as they lay is a fluid art platform focused on conjuring collaboration, public events, & dialogue focused digital media + exhibitions.

as they lay is an ever-evolving creative project-based organism that supports collaboration, queer’d counter ideologies, and radical creative work that set fire for visions of new worlds that are delivered from modern day oppressive pathologies. advocating for those who have been pushed into the margins. currently our goal is to uproot a myriad of art projects that will aide in the transformation for a more sustainable, inclusive, interconnected, and inspiring creative climate for artists living in Baltimore. the first phase of as they lay will be a series of digital and physical installments of dialogue based works and exhibitions.
