Windows In, Windows Out
Abby Staub (Rhodes)
Abby Staub is a muralist and installation artist based in Brooklyn.
Her street-art-esque style integrates spatial, figural, and textual elements with a bold color pallet. These amalgamations result in visual streams of consciousness where the artist explores and attempts to mediate the relationship between internal, introspective awareness and external, physical reality.

Artist Statement
Windows In, Windows Out
This work inflates the importance of somatics to combat the idea that we only exist in our minds. The brain is central to the nervous system but there are infinite nodes within our bodies and around us scientifically and spiritually.
Windows In, Windows Out is an immersive mixed media installation that maps sensory awareness. The mural series on the walls chronicles the introspective journey of a female allegory. A network of hyper-magnified sensory neurons takes her on this journey. They fire with explosions of color within and outside of her figure.
The installation is specific to a studio where a large window defines the haptic experience of the space. Reflections of this window are reproduced on the wall with paint and off the wall with mylar. They ground the metaphysical, painted environment in its real, physical environment.
Visually integrating mind with body and body with space portrays how every seen and unseen faculty of existence is holistically connected.
