My last post showed a WIP - and some play in Deep Dream and Photoshop. You can check it out HERE. Now I am getting a bit more serious - no digital playground this time.
THE ERRATIC GATHERING OF
UNDISCIPLINED BIOMORPHIC OBJECTS
Finished!
Google spell check is insisting there is no such word as biomorphic, so I had to teach them again. According to the Tate, this is the definition of it:
Biomorphic comes from combining the Greek words ‘bios’, meaning life, and ‘morphe’, meaning form. The term seems to have come into use around the 1930s to describe the imagery in the more abstract types of surrealist painting and sculpture particularly in the work of Joan Miró and Jean Arp (see automatism). Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth also produced some superb biomorphs at that time, and later so did Louise Bourgeois.
ERRATIC, GATHERING, UNDISCIPLINED - these words in the title suggest my work-methods. But to quote the Bard: "There is method in his madness"
Though I often say the stuff I create comes from the subconscience, but it is also true that if you take something out, you first have to input. I did this by voracious reading in my younger years. Sometimes I remember what triggered my thoughts. In this case, I think long ago I was fascinated with Dado's Vegetable Police, among other biomorphic works.
