Co-author Written In Stone and Space: The Invisible Language of Ancient Architecture.
“Where do mythological images, stories, and art forms come from? Why do some ancient symbols lose their potency over time and others endure? Most importantly, is it possible for we moderns to access the body of wisdom that inspired the monumental works of ancient people?
In LENS, artist, architect and world traveler Lawrence Schechter addresses these mysteries, not by way of explanation, but rather through insight and demonstration of the evolution of his own artistic development. As the author opens to the truth and lessons of his life experience, the timeless correspondences between myth, personal history, and artistic expression begin to emerge. The novel, part autobiographical and part imaginary, is itself a retrospective, an unwinding, so to speak, of the author’s insight into a multi-level process; the reader is witness to the unfolding as it occurs. LENS is myth in the making and will inspire artists to take a deeper dive into the origins and revelations of their own creative processes.”
