Vellum LA x StandardVision Present Artist Showcase: The Transcendental Experience of Creation with Artist Shawna X

In collaboration with StandardVision, Vellum LA has curated a site-specific artist showcase from interdisciplinary artist Shawna X’s Psychic Blossom series, on view across a number of StandardVision’s large-scale exterior displays throughout Los Angeles through September 30th.

Inspired by the process of birth and creation, Psychic Blossom is a series of artworks which aim to capture the transformative experience of labor through a series of visualizations that progress chronologically, contracting or expanding from one piece to the next, until the final blossom is revealed. The series offers a unique perspective on the power and beauty of the birthing process, and seeks to engage viewers in a meditative and immersive experience of this transformative moment in human experience.

Currently, Shawna's work focuses on the relationship  in which the body of the mother is connected to the landscape of the universe. She seeks to shed light on the deep and complex connections between the body, the natural world, and the experience. She has been invited to speak about these themes at events such as Adobe Max, Us by Night, and AIGA, and has collaborated with a wide range of clients in the fields of music, fashion, and technology, including New Yorker, MINI, Academy Awards, Nike, and Ghostly International.

Catch works from Shawna X’s Psychic Blossom series on view at Melrose & Spaulding, 3rd Street Crossing, Kurve LA, and 888 N Vermont and learn more about Shawna X on her Instagram.
