In her new body of work, "Autist's Fables," artist Lezley Saar uses paintings, dioramas, photographs, and a short film to create an imaginative and enigmatic environment inspired by the sensibility, perception, and reality of her 17-year-old Autistic daughter.

Saar expertly blends symbol and allegory with imagination and wit. The artist’s ethereal work questions notions of normalcy, perceptions of reality, modes of communication, and the veracity of emotions. The exhibition uses the body and soul approach of Aesop’s Fables where the body is the story, and the soul is the moral.
