| Artist Statement: | For me art and science are one and the same. There is no division between the simple beauty in a flower or leaf and the complex biological principles that explain their life. In my spirit these concepts coexist as they do in nature and to observe one is to observe the other. In my art I want to create the color and form of nature´s beauty while fusing it with biological processes that interconnect all living things. The combinations of natural color and form in my work is to evoke emotions of reflection on the beauty of nature. The colors are achieved by layering watercolor and acrylics in a multitude of washes, and later, drawings are detailed in with archival ink pens. The diagrams of biological processes are included to remind viewers of the duality between beauty and knowledge of the natural world. In some works I go a step further to demonstrate and propose interconnections that use biology in a new technology. The final work is to leave an impression of simple color and form melded with emotions and knowledge given from the natural world. |
