Langlas Loft Gallery
Isaac Prior is a full-time, self-employed creative based in Ames, Iowa. With a foundation in graphic design and typography he cultivated his skills to begin specializing in custom jewelry fabrication repair and design. He worked for a decade as a bench jeweler at Ames Silversmithing and now fabricates and designs jewelry at Gilger Designs in Ames.
Boundless Folds features Prior’s abstract line drawings, a body of work in which he explores mythology and legends and interprets the unexplained and unknown of the cosmos. He states, “I have a fascination with space and cosmic horror. There are realities upon realities out there in the vastness of the universe where almost anything is possible. Norse mythology and folklore are also a big driving point of creativity. It's so rich, strange, and twisted; yet also lighthearted and funny.”
