ORGANICS DISTURBED – The Series While discovering mould settlements in pieces of fabrics and canvasses I was fascinated by the beauty of colours, forms and structures nature offered me to see and immediately to interpret. Here is “Mother Nature” in a decaying presentation, yet, still so much alive and able to construct shapes and silhouettes. The beauty of nature in this process led me to consider man’s ever present impact on his surroundings - influencing, dominating, analysing, correcting and exploiting. Mould is framed, crossed out, opposed by geometric symbols, lines, circles and touches of the artistic human. In setting accents into the palette presented by nature the artist uses the signs of the Zodiac, symbols of moon circles, mathematical signs and forms to show man’s attempt to influence and rule the natural cycle. In demonstrating the process of the natural cycle and human interference, a new harmonious unity between nature as a living element and man trying to lay order into a seemingly chaotic universe is created. Rust is another figurative, symbolic element in this new series by the artist. Steel created by man and left to rot is accentuated by the artist’s influence, thus creating its own aesthetics, and finding a new presence. White sand, black sand, ash, rotting wood pieces and left over material create imaginary landscapes ruled by the influence of man as represented by geometrical marks and accents. The works are painted and constructed on left over pine wood panels and most other materials are used to formulate recycling into an artistic expression. “Organics Disturbed” - by the interference of man, but creating a new harmony of form and colour in the process of exchange ORGANICS DISTURBED I and Ia 46cm x 208cm and 47cm x 42 cm The two works belonging together indicate the beginning of a new series, in which Mother Nature left her mark with mould spots and the artist sets symbolic accents… NZ$ 3,200 ORGANICS DISTURBED II (Gemini) 46cm x 126cm Moon phases and star signs influence growth and development… SOLD ORGANICS DISTURBED III (Virgo) 46cm x 125cm …and a quartered moon introduces further elements… NZ$ 2,900 ORGANICS DISTURBED IV (Pisces) 72.5cm x 21.5cm ORGANICS DISTURBED VI (Sagittarius) 90.5cm x 22cm ORGANICS DISTURBED VII (Libra) 47.5cm x 63.5cm …as hazy landscape-like formations… …while the arrow between sands points in new directions to be explored… …as man interferes with ashes and cement in harmonious proportions… NZ$ 1,400 / SOLD / SOLD ORGANICS DISTURBED VIII (Leo) 47.5cm x 62.5cm …where new and full moon circles carry geometric shapes over a fungal landscape… NZ$ 2,400 ORGANICS DISTURBED IX (Cancer) 47cm x 64cm …which continues to keep a square divided in triangles afloat… NZ$ 2,400 ORGANICS DISTURBED X (Taurus) 45cm x 83cm …so that the planetary dance of creativity and creation can continue… NZ$ 2,900 ORGANICS DISTURBED XI (Scorpio) 46cm x 126cm …to integrate the human influence on natural growth… NZ$ 3,600 ORGANICS DISTURBED XII (Aries) 46cm x 125cm …but mankind crosses out evolved vistas… NZ$ 3,200 ORGANICS DISTURBED XIII (Capricorn) 46.5cm x 188cm …out of decaying materials, the rusty imaginary landscape, the rotten wood, the canvas… NZ$ 3,800 ORGANICS DISTURBED XVI (Boundaries) 92cm x 126cm …where nature meets man meets the universe…I don’t copy nature, I just work like her… NZ$ 4,300
