Sculpture, Stone on Wood
Size: 30 W x 62 H x 35 D in
Ships in a Crate
A citrine geode suspended in leather on a steam bent zebra wood and steel frame. The geode’s back has been reinforced and stylized with a composite textured back. Geodes form when bubbles of water vapor and carbon dioxide form inside hot lava as they rise from the depths of the Earth’s core. As the lava cools, it solidifies as an empty shell of igneous rock. Over time, different minerals will flow inside and form a crust of crystal formations on its inner surface. As humans, we have an unexplained fascination with crystals - they are revered as being vitalized with subtle energies, and are unexplainably sought out for their preciousness. The truth is that minerals play an essential role in the genesis and existence of life, and thanks to Earth’s vast mineral richness, we exist today. Thats why we have such a fascination with these wonders. Gaia’s Womb is cradled by a vaginal frame, a symbol of earthly genesis, the only one we know of. We all have the opportunity to protect and cherish life, yet humans often disregard the environmental cost of their actions. Gaia’s womb is meant to remind us of how important it is to respect and nurture our earth.

With a passion for nature, diverse cultures, philosophy, astro physics, and the physical and spiritual world, German Aguirre expresses the interconnectedness of these aforementioned elements in his line of work,“Of Earth.” German has always been called to nature, born and raised surfing the coasts of Peru, and working as a guide through the Amazon rivers and trails. His thirst for exploration led him to travel extensively, exposing him to many cultures and living in more than a dozen cities thus far. He began his path in the Visual Arts and Design in 2007 at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia, where he found his life partner in love and adventure. He then transferred to Pasadena, CA to complete a BSc in Product Design at the Art Center College of Design in 2013. After graduating, he lived in New York City where he was immersed in a corporate driven design studio culture at Aruliden until 2015. Even though German originally studied and pursued a career in Industrial Design, his wife’s career move to Tucson, AZ in 2015 ignited the unexpected transition into his own fine art and design line. Here is where he set up a tent-covered workshop in his backyard to create this collection of pieces. His curiosity and inquisitive nature set him out to explore different fabrication techniques resulting in a collection of sculptures that celebrate Earth’s endless beauty by juxtaposing raw natural minerals with clean and modern design. German uses his innate understanding of form and structure to evoke subtle illusions, such as precariously balancing or suspending large and seemingly unmovable objects. This illusory design language speaks both physically and metaphorically to the balancing acts of male and female energies, the natural vs the built environment, and the power of inner balance achieved living in the ephemeral present moment. German and his wife moved to BC in 2020, just before their son’s birth, where he continues to create, show, and sell his artwork.
