Traveling Sun

Andrew Eyler

DTLA Life Magazine has described Andrew Eyler's work as "a roadmap to a forgotten world... coaxing to the surface... the forms and faces buried in our collective psychic memory." In 1996, after years as a psychiatric counselor, Eyler began photographing what he describes as "framed references, void of subject." His latest project "Mukta" (mirrored imagery) has become the narrative of this "roadmap;" on each (aluminum) side, Eyler's signature dark, elusive impression with twice the color and content representing self similarity and the liberation of self; "Samsara" (the first in the series) rebirth, the cycle of all life, matter and existence perpetuated by desire, ignorance and resulting karma, "Dharma" virtue, "Kama" love, "Artha" purpose. "Mukta" and other of Eyler's works are currently available at GDCA gallery in Los Angeles or online at travelingsun.com, the proceeds of which are donated to the Brain and Behavioral Research Foundation, an organization that awards grants for new and improved treatments for mental illness; Andrew Eyler's mission since 1984. "moving from center believing that just because something can't be seen doesn't mean it doesn't exist."
