One of the two series I will be exhibiting\u00a0is The Replicators.\u00a0While hiking through Tortugera National Park, I was impressed with the variety of plant species and their many survival solutions, particularly the epiphytes. These plants survive many feet off the air, growing on top of branches of large trees.<\/p>\n
Since the series began four years ago, I have been inspired by\u00a0other gardens exhibiting wild growth and patterns. Coral, crystals, flowers and ferns are some of the forms\u00a0that I abstract and synthesize in this new chapter. These pieces are a meditation on how replicators bloom, mutate, wither and spread. I am especially touched by their perseverance and potential.<\/p>\n
