“Moroccan Door,” acrylic collage on canvas, by Coyee Langston.Inspired by the musings of a mystical poet, collage painter Coyee Langston and jewelry designer Barbara Murnan have collaborated on the theme “Unbolted” for the December front-wall feature show at In-Town Gallery.
An opening reception is scheduled Friday evening, Dec. 2.
Langston and Murnan have taken their inspiration from 13th-century Persian poet Rumi, to whom this quote is attributed: “Sometimes you hear a voice through the door calling you this turning toward what you deeply love saves you.”
For their latest works, the artists say they sought to open their own visceral doors, looking for ways to best express what lies within and pushing themselves in new directions.
