New Shapes and Findings..

These were the objects that had been looked for-they have been found. This collection process is as important for I am now using the material that has become naturally available. There is something about these shapes and structures; they have been carved and crafted so expertly by nature and form part of the natural element. They are part of a cycle where even dead, they would soon be disintegrating to serve another purpose: they would return to the organic world. They are not disturbed by my intervention. While studying them, I feel myself being in an experiment; where I would be in harmony with the environment and the space where I live in. These objects were made for this space and this is also the space I belong to. They communicate to me and I seem to be reading them and understanding them in an abstract sort of way. I am reminded of the words of Henri Moore who later worked on materials directly:  A material had its own vitality, Moore believed, "an intense life of its own," and it was his job to reveal it. http://www.theartstory.org/artist-moore-henry.htm
