OAK TREE - 06 - Connected and communicating
Oak trees are iconic, symbols of steadfastness, but they are also, along with so much plant life and the funghii, connected by their roots. Woodlands, forests and the myriad of living organisms connect, communicate, share and form stronger collectives for it. This lesson seems important for the fractured state of the world today.
from the series of works titled ‘Design by Nature’ and featured in the ‘Eye of the Beholder’ Exhibition 2024.
The seven lessons we could learn from the natural world
This work is taken from the series of seven artworks that take the natural ‘analogue’ detail of essential icons of the natural world and are highlighted and contrasted against underlying contemporary digital patterns, created by si homfray especially for this range, representative of our very modern digital lives.
The seven works:
1. Tireless and focussed
2. Resilient and rubbery
3. Resourceful and ingenious
4. Adaptable and flexible
5. Patient and stress free
6. Connected and communicating
7. Alive and kicking
'Eye of the Beholder is an artistic examination of the extraordinary fine detail and elegance that exists in the natural world contrasted with the finest contemporary digital patterns.'
