Morphic Resonance # 3 is part of a series of wood scavenged from bush and repurposed plastic gravestone flowers. Both these materials carry evidence of their own history. Every day I walk in Central Victorian bushland and collect pieces of wood that remind me of a nesting place for regrowth. The shapes have then been wood stained to resemble the ravages bush fire. From these remanence of a fallen forest springs out the contrasting painted ornamental foliage to resemble fungus. This material is referenced because they are astonishingly versatile organisms, can digest pollution, produce food, make medicines, induces visions and influence the composition of the earth’s atmosphere. They recycle dead organic matter into organic life. From the darkness into the light the white growth appear.
Morphic Resonance # 3 is a symbol of hope and coincidently engenders a sense of frightening recognition in the COVID world of 2020.
