The catalog represents the first solo exhibition by selftaught Southern Californiabased artist Myron Conan Dyal. Primordial Images of a Modern Mystic features paintings, drawings, and sculptures from Dyal's vast oeuvre spanning nearly three decades. His imagery is overwhelmingly dark and haunting and obviously created with obsession and compulsion: he uses papiermache to create his sculpture, in large part, because its immediacy accommodates his urgency to see his objects in threedimensional form. His usually figurative or organic forms are derived from visions he experienced during epileptic seizures and selfinduced trances he encountered on his spiritual journey to come to grips with his lifelong struggle with the epilepsy and its stigma. A classically trained musician and telecommunications executive, Dyal kept his prolific production of art secret for many years only showing it to family and a few close friends until recently.
