Exhibition Morphogenesis
Just like last year, I took the initiative on behalf of the photographers’ collective
Nomads of Sehnsucht for a new exhibition at Pulchri Studio in The Hague – a project that I enjoyed organizing, thanks to the pleasant collaboration with Pulchri and my fellow Nomads.
I cordially invite you to this exhibition with the theme
Morphogenesis, the magical process of morphogenesis, in which complex forms and structures arise from a simple starting form. For the Nomads, the spark for a search for hidden metaphorical meanings.
Within my ongoing series Between, I created new work for this exhibition. For Echoes of Eden, a diptych with organic forms that seem to float between reality and dream, the work of Odilon Redon with his Darwinian affinity is a silent guide. Darwin wrote: “From so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.” This sense of connectedness is woven through the work – as something we know intuitively, something elementary and universal.
Wonderful Creatures, another new work, is formed from wooden frames covered with semi-transparent voile. This delicate fabric shows orchids – moving freely in space between visibility and concealment. The work carries Darwin’s admiration: “They are wonderful creatures, these Orchids…” – not to explain, but to suggest the unspeakable.
