Shifting Cell 1

Dimensions
30 cm x 30 cm approx

A small wall construction in which I have investigated the undulating forms of plant cells. The piece attempts to capture the movement of endless reforming organic shapes. The light, airy colours compliment the speed and ease of Nature when operating as a shape shifter. The cells that make up our bodies once belonged to other structures and in turn becomes parts of new life over time, we ourselves represent a beautiful moment in time..... but the cells and Nature continue to move forwards, and are ever shifting.
