A Garden Song, 2021

Of Sharpedo fangs, for luck
Magical cones
Faux fungi frills
And starry trails
A garden song

Beyond our vision and our perception bias there are worlds that operate on rules different than our own. There are light waves that our eyes can’t perceive and sounds that our ears can’t hear and yet there they are operating alongside our own universe, ticking at their own pace and rhythm. My Alien Landscapes bring together similar alien ecosystems of biomorphic elements and inorganic forms cohesively into a state of terraria imitating clusters.

The artworks are an agglomerate of elements from the natural world and the world of fiction This series explores our age of mutating ecosystems. Of the ever increasing noise and the constant friction between rigid systems that fray at the edges, often making way for more vibrant, flexible, inclusive systems, metamorphosing and morphing into lush bio diverse ecosystems of plankton, plastic, Pan’s labyrinth and jelly beans. Of micro plastics in our blood streams swimming alongside what may have been the last sigh of a stegosaurus as it watched fire fall from the sky, the thinning of the veil between the real & the surreal.

Akin to a tealeaf reader, I want the viewer to explore these works, mapping splatters, drips and an entanglement of lines and biomorphic clusters, and be witness to a lush lateral view which allows for new possibilities and magic.
