ABOUT THE ARTWORK
From my ongoing biomorphic series. Oil on linen. This series brings together my interests in botany, microbiology, monsters, space, disease, and the evolution of cells. I subconsciously explore the relationships between anatomy, biology and emerging sciences while creating from my own imagination. Shaping aesthetic outcomes of these paintings doesn’t come from research or re-creating what already exists; I create my own nature within these little worlds. If cells and viruses can look beautiful when magnified, I wonder what organisms on other planets look like? Is there something bigger we are a part of? What will these cells look like 10 days later – what about 10 million years later? I’m mostly concerned with answering these questions for myself and delve into the practice and alchemy of oil paint dictating the direction; transforming emotional impressions as I go. Insects, flowers, human organs all come from the same natural process at the core; visualizing their fictional evolution at any given stage is the most enjoyable part of creating this work. This is my biomorphic garden party.
