Artwork Statement
From my perspective as an artist/scientist, we live in a NeuroMorphic universe as we are all connected. This universe is a fascinating fractal and biomorphic structure that exists in infinity from macroscopic to microscopic. It repeats itself many times though we may not see it clearly from our limited viewpoint in time and space. My fascination with nature has existed in most of the work I create. For me, everything in art is an abstraction with different degrees of ‘recognizability’.
I view an art object as a part of Public Health, therefore I aim for a positive experience even if there are underlying very serious elements that I wish the viewer to think about. Art is a universal language that is greater than just connecting words and emotions. It simultaneously links the artist and viewer through time and distance – fluidly straddling the space between concrete reality and metaphorical ideas.
For these works presented in this group exhibition, I chose works made in 2021 that depict nature from differing perspectives. From an abstract ‘birds eye view’ for two of the works (Mapping Natural Reality, and With the Bees Gone will Humans Survive?), to the more conventional yet abstracted ‘worms eye view’ (Lily Pond I), all are derived from nature. I am concerned with the ongoing and imminent loss of many current living organisms and natural settings.
