New work by Chris Harrison...
Chris' new 'Elements' series is a meditation on the unseen energies that shape our world. Beginning with base elements in his materials, colours drift, textures gather like minerals, and forms collide, dissolve, and reform as the collage takes shape.
"As I work, these visual elements attract, repel, collide, dissolve and reform. I don't plan the outcome; I follow the process until the parts settle into a charged, resolved whole, forming an iconic presence.
"Echoing the mystery of atomic chemistry, the series reflects that everything in the extraordinary reality we inhabit-solid or fleeting, earthly or luminous-begins with elemental forces combining to create something exquisite."
Each work combines colour, texture, shape, movement, and occasional photographic fragments which are reworked and rediscovered until he arrives at an image.
