Diagrams of objects, prototypes and skeletal structures of all sorts inspire and guide me to draw these compositions. The theme of my work explores issues on the theme of transformation. My current work explores nature’s cycles of transformation from germination to decay. These cycles of life are illustrated with drawings of invented organisms representing atoms and seed in mutation. I see them as visual abstractions of imaginary biomorphic organisms examined through the lenses of a microscope. They are also ecological maps involving all phases of growth from germination or pollination to putrefaction. In turn the drawings become topographic situations, close-ups of organic shapes kinetically energized and permanently mutating into the natural world.
Literally the drawings are incubation tanks on a sheet of paper. Each composition is a vessel that encapsulated and shelters life in hibernation: honeycomb chambers, tree barks, sheaths of plants and seeds are elements that I am inspired by. Observing and recording nature’s interrelationships of organisms within the environment helps me to translate on the paper what I see in the real world into imaginary situations when I am back in the studio.
The work is also partially inspired by Fractals Geometry, a field of Mathematics involved with calculating patterns in nature such as crystal growth and galaxy formation.
