ALL THAT IS, IS HELD
Canvas Gallery
2018

This body of work continues my study into the nature of matter and enquiry into what comprises space. Utilising scientific imaging I take a formal approach to intuit the meaning behind the apparent. The notion finds resonance that micro-macro and internal-external realities represent a similitude.

Contemplating both the animate and inanimate, and referencing from cell behaviour, the colonies therein creating patterns, to the structure of air and atmospheric spheres, the reductive body appears as deposits of matter, scattered in the universe, alive in stillness, held by space.
​
Being complete in receptiveness, comes light, heat, comes movement. Space without matter is not empty. Subtle encompasses dense, less is more. Being and not being float in a pool of aliveness. All that is, is held.
