Panspermia
free standing ceramic figure, charcoal, ink, graphite, 6’x 24”x 24”, 2020
pan all, sperma – seed - a theoretical origin of life on earth from a meteorite brought seed.
Using the carnal empathy of the body as an identifier of experiences of interconnectivity and crisis, this form explores the idea that emergence is preceded by a rupture from a critical impact.
The tangible and visceral sensitivity of the material manifests an inner landscape, while it also moves in the circular pattern of time between human and nature, past and present, part and whole.
Working in this process of creative mediation enhances the artist’s self and world awareness, resulting into a deeper appreciation for the dynamic interconnection between the environment and oneself.
