The Art of Living Shapes
Energy turns into matter, and we recognise shape. It is a prerequisite to human existence and continuation. We have the gift of procreating and producing another living shape. One of the first things a baby learns is how to identify and interact with shapes: a square block fitting into a square hole and a round into a round. Shapes are not always visible entities. They may be abstract. A thought takes shape in the mind. At times I use personification. For example, the living shape of education.
The concept of this exhibition is far too broad to discuss, even among artists.
It deserves awareness, wonder, and awe. Make time to fall in love with living shapes.
