Borrowed Forms in Nature





One of the series of prints that I will be showing at StoneMetal Press in San Antonio is my "Borrowed Forms in Nature". This is a series of small monotypes, 7" x 5" that begin with a photo transfer. I have "borrowed" fantastic biological illustrations from the 19th century illustrator, Ernst Haeckel. Haeckel's work is showcased in the book, Art Forms in Nature, Prestel-Verlag, Munich-New York, 1998. Page after page of flora and fauna, incredible organic shapes - specifically from the sea. I'm not the first artist who has "borrowed" Haeckel's forms. His work has inspired architecture, chandeliers, furniture, sculpture and more.
