Grown bacteria in agar is allowed to spread and form bacterial paintings from collected soil samples with very little control, except for the boundary of the Petri dish.  These prints investigate the 'hidden worlds' of the landscape as a metaphor for hidden societal realities as represented like an Old World map.  The universal symbol of the circle draws parallels with our reliance of the land, fertility, growth, culture, boundaries and represented notions of the 'feminine maternal principles' and Ecological Feminism.  These images set up dichotomies between the contained, restricted and bound set of rules, maintained through a patriarchal system of symbols and freedom from these systems in place to stem overflow, chaos and entropy.

It explores the transference of biological matter (measure) - a symbol of traversing the land and sea, the picking up of material on the shoe and moved from one spot to another.  The constant movement of landmass and masses of life across the land and through the sea; evolving, growing and re-shaping the landscape we see and do not see.  

Limited Edition: Two Prints (Print One owned by the Institute for Advanced Studies Art Collection at Bristol University)

Framed in reclaimed pallet wood frame.

Adam Grose’s practice explores fragility creating a dialogue between the past and present. Images respond to a myriad of influences, including historical, personal, memorial, human complexity and our changing landscapes. He aims to capture expressive moments via plein-air glimpses and memory, gathering a diverse array of images, serving as a foundation for constructing his prints and paintings, where layers of colour and line intertwine, forming a visual tapestry that evolves over time. ​Through masking, scrawling and destruction, Grose embraces the concept of entropy to breathe new life into the work, fostering fresh interactions and interventions. The multi-layered artwork bears their history: each layer interacting to create images that echo the past moment in the present. This exploration expands Grose’s artistry, leading to experiments with new forms of print and painting, seeking harmonious balance between form and space, conveying poetic lyricisms of environmental and societal complexity.
