Artist statement: The fundamentals of Shóna Slemon’s work are the underlying principles determining growth, the form it produces and its relationship with human consciousness. New sciences regard consciousness as one and the same as the ‘gods’, existing in the rocks and subsoil, as it would in humanity or the ‘heavens’. Found organic material and the plinth structure work collectively to create an altar like atmosphere, in which one can synonymize nature with the Divine. |
