Ametrinogrenogram Print

The journey of creating the pieces is a form of meditation for the artist. Inspired by cubist, dadaist and surrealist art, ancient civilisations, ritual, religious practices, crystalline structures, sacred geometry, and cyber culture. A sense of ‘therapy’ through a broad, yet precise use of colour. Using carefully selected images/photos for their texture, colour and corresponding associations (heart, love, gratitude, connection, blood). Giving a piece of jewellery as a present symbolises appreciation, love and timelessness, and this piece is an attempt to encapsulate that ideas essence. Images and photos of Jewellery (notable Gold), Meat processing factory, Corpse Flower (Amorphophallus titanum, the titan arum), Fish eggs, sea anemones, Corals, Fabrics, Microscopic images (cellular), Desert Dunes, Flowers, Fire, Trees in Autumn, Brains, Jewellery, Gold Bullion, Coding, Crowds of people at festivals, cityscapes, Rock, Mountains, Feathers and astrological photographs. Harvey Saunders works present a coalescence of imagery and depict many layers (similar to that of a *mandala) creating a meditative vision which can in turn be recreated within the minds eye, giving us an opportunity to enter into a new perception of our reality. Taking the old proverb of “one picture is worth a thousand words” and working to progress and develop with innovative finished artworks made of thousands of photos/images that speak volumes. Description of the title given to the piece - (Ametrine) - mineral – it’s two minerals mixed together. These two minerals are amethyst and citrine, which are both forms of quartz. It is also known as “trystine” or “bolivianite”. The latter of which names is a reference to the fact that almost all Ametrine today is mined in the country of Bolivia. It is a highly unique blend of these two energies. Ametrine is a type of quartz crystal that is believed to help to enhance mental and spiritual clarity. As well as helping in uniting masculine and feminine energies. Ametrines have a strong healing energy that releases negativity from within the aura. The piece focuses on colour gradient of Violets, pinks, reds, oranges, yellows, golds. - (gren) name for a branch that comes off from the main trunk - (gram) something written or drawn, a record. - Geometric Wireframe - Octagram with a central vertical mirror plane compressed in an ellipse form.
