THE SPACE WE CAN NOT SEE

This piece is no 1 in a series of 3 that combines my love of geometrics and architecture with my curiosity surrounding the natural world that underpins us. These works embrace the medium of digital animation as a way of extending beyond the constraints of my usual studio practise and allow me to explore more fully some of the narratives I am interested in. So, what started as a painting of a perfectly composed utopian environment now tells a bigger story. The space we can not see, refers to the cycles of nature around us that we often overlook. I have used mushrooms to represent these cycles. Mushrooms embody nature in quiet action and also the represent the duality of the temporal and the ephemeral. There is much to learn from them. My art in all its forms is always serving as a reminder to slow down and to contemplate more deeply our roles in this world. This series is complimented by a mushroom soundtrack generously gifted to me by MycoLyco, please google his incredible work.
