This is an exploration in time passing. Old icons connected with new ones. Our past and present. Stars are associated with navigation, and finding direction. This points to our connect/disconnect with our natural world. The Story of the Black Star - The black star is alone, but as time passes the star becomes less isolated because it is enrobed by the sun. This piece is a diptych. 2x 36”x36”.
Danie Wood's Perspective
Artist's commentary
My work stresses both the physical reality of art making and its psychological value – a dialogue between place and being. I use my art as a metaphor to critique contemporary ideas of identity, gravity and change, my subject becomes a reflection of the human condition. Profoundly influenced by Anselm Kiefer, Antoni Tàpies, and Paul-Émile Borduas, some of my techniques reference the process of Les Automatistes. Control and the loss of it are mechanisms very much alive in my work.
