Atmospheres

To explore the dynamic look of the underside of a mushroom cap formed by the delicate gills. These intricate lines filter light through each, individual strand, unique from one another, influenced by the wind, the dirt, their formation.

 

I’ll examine the shadow and the play of light, imitating the changes sunlight has on a subject throughout the day through a series of artifacts.

What attracts us to organic and geometric patterns? Organic lines dominate the setting, conveying a feeling that appears natural and sensual. To convey the impression of depth is an important element within my work, hence my choice in monochromatic and black and white setting to highlight the shape… used expressively.

 

Create a sensation of depth through the use of organic patterns changing form as the model recedes into the abyss, leading the eye, as if it’s growing, evolving, fading away… All due to the shallow depth of field formed by the intricate gills of the underside of the mushroom cap mold.

 

It’s a common thought that nature hates straight lines, thus it’s intriguing to understand the psychological effect of organic patterns and its effect on the viewer. Natural patterns appear irregular, flowing, they’re unpredictable and asymmetrical, gentle and subtle through freeform.
