Backstory: Lani Irwin ...there seems to be no single truth but many truths when talking about oneself or one’s work. The layer upon layer of ideas, feelings, thoughts intertwine with such ferocity that any single truth seems to elude discovery. Lani Irwin, "Orange Moon", 2008, oil on linen, 39 x 28 in. © Lani Irwin.
