Rastlinske celice
Cells
2018 -2023
predstavitev / introduction
Ciklus, ki je začel nastajati leta 2018, po tehnični plati nadaljuje gvaš tehniko Semen in Pelodov, vsebinsko pa se vrača k Spominskim fetišem in Atomskim gobam: v ospredju slik so rastline, ki nas hranijo (banana, soja, rdeči bob), zdravijo (lipa, bor, bezeg, ginko, hibiskus) ali ob pretiranem konzumiranju omamljajo in vodijo v smrt (datura, tisa). V ozadju so prerezi stebelnih in koreninskih celic, ki služijo kot mandale in abstraktne krajine — preplet mikrokozmosa in makrokozmosa, kjer iz zametka semena, peloda ali celice nastaja celoten organizem.
Begun in 2018, this cycle technically continues the gouache approach of Seeds and Pollens, while thematically returning to Memory Fetishes and Atomic Mushrooms: in the foreground are plants that feed us (banana, soy, red bean), heal us (linden, pine, elder, ginkgo, hibiscus), or — when consumed in excess — intoxicate and lead to death (datura, yew). In the background, cross-sections of stem and root cells serve as mandalas and abstract landscapes — an interlacing of microcosm and macrocosm, where the whole organism unfolds from the rudiment of a seed, a pollen grain, or a cell.
