Jeremy Newman
My work is influenced by the random patterns that lace together
the natural world and our inherent connection as humans to that natural
world. I look to capture the elemental processes that create
our
planet and environment, and in turn shape our reality. It is the cycles
within nature that influence my work the most. These cycles are part
of our lives in many forms including growth, death and rebirth, building
up and weathering down, the seasons, and migrations. They mark
the passage of time and we are constantly exploring how we as humans
exist and respond to them.
I intend for my work to have a meditative and healing presence. I
hope that it helps reconnect people with the rhythms of the natural world
and reminds them of their place within that world.
