In this project, I explore the structure of evolution and natures perfect symmetry which has evolved over hundreds of millions of years. The long and tedious process of systemizing and catogorizing the hundreds of thousands of species,the classic entomologist is much of my core fascination. During the past years, i myself have gone in the collectors footsteps both in my native country,Norway,as well as abroad,to evolve my own visual language and communication.
With `Evolution` i searched back to my first show, `Deformatia` (Volapuk,1997),where beauty and natures deformations were in focus. Here I explored how the beauty of deformations created discomfort, but also pleasure. This contrast can be found in many areas of the senses.
Both idea and technique in `Evolution`are full of contrast. Popculture and the organic. Beauty and the ugly. The hard plastic materials against the soft, archival cotton paper with seam,handtoning,text and colorations.
In this way, I continue my exploration of the beautiful and the brutal, the organic and the artificial. `Evolution` is the first part of a larger series currently under production.
