Re:SOURCE - in theme, essence and medium
In theme: The artworks for re:SOURCE was selected due to the impression that their creation came from a deep, authentic, original source or core. Not merely a study in light, pattern, colour or composition, it almost seems to offer a glimpse at a metaphysical source of life, energy, force or passion. On another level some of the works also refer to the depletion of resources through human over-consumption.
In medium: Some of the works also make use of a foundation being worked into or added to, a layering which obscures the material ‘source’.
In essence: Essentially re:SOURCE links back to the earth through each artwork. A resource in its essence is food and minerals from the earth. The food nourishes, the minerals are utilized in making the materials used to express our feelings and ideas in art form.
