The whimsical and blissfully kinetic land of Liz Tran is where her artisan molecules collide with the nature of technicolor and emotion. Liz's manifesto is one of exploration for our connective fibers, communicating human experience. The Balance King serves as her sound curator, to parallel tangible environments with the mesmerizing components of orchestration and musical fantasy. Their aesthetic and audible relationship rounded out her expression. Zaiche Johnson, is in the role of Liz Tran's Branding and Curatorial Strategist, placing him at the helm of shaping tone and context. This will be Ms. Tran's second collaboration with Studio Allston Hotel, and first collaboration with West End House, providing a fun joint art project and celebration during the magnificent Boston Art Week! Life is our canvas!

As I dig deeper into self, what emerges is the beat of my heart, music evoking memories once thought lost and explorations into my position in the universe. The paintings from Innerverse formed naturally during a transformational period of healing beginning in Spring 2018. It is ongoing to this day.

The small ceramic sculptures of Innerverse were begun over 5 years ago, during an extended bout of the lowest of lows. There was comfort to be found in forming the small objects with my hands and sitting in a room full of people doing the same. Through the years, as I continued to build with ceramics, miniature souvenirs from my travels emerged - loose interpretations of the cairns and volcanoes in Iceland, a pestle found on the playa in Eastern Oregon and the caves from Halong Bay in Vietnam appeared. I continue to “collect” these souvenirs as a way to keep my memories close.
