Georganne Mennin is an artist who explores dualities, and juxtaposes seemingly disparate ideas in order to present a unique point of view.

Bicameral-originally a term used by a Princeton psychology professor to subdivide the brain into irrational and rational halves or ---more plainly, pragmatic and creative halves. In Bicameral Studies, Mennin pairs an image of an abstract geometric form with a botanical image from the natural world. This combination brings together opposing qualities: hard with soft, angular with curved, natural with manmade. The colors within these pairings connect the two images, merging into one diptych. By creating dialogues between geometric abstractions and the perfection of the natural growing world these diptychs pose the open ended question--- which is more rational by design and which is more expressive---without giving the viewer an answer.

After receiving her degree in music from the University of Rochester, Georganne Mennin studied at Parsons School of Design and the Art Student’s League in New York. Her work has been exhibited in America, Europe, Africa, and South America.
