EXHIBITION

Life Entwined

John Richer

Cayley & Ferrie Galleries

Exploring the intertwined beauty of natural forms and the greater forces at work behind them.

Looking beyond the entangled forms in Nature, we can see a continually changing yet structured order within everything.

Fractal & spiral patterns can be seen in rocky landscapes, trees, and the bones of  living things – evidence of expansive, inherent universal forces in motion as time passes.

Massive rock formations that were once underwater, eroded and moved by glacial tides have eventually become part of an ever changing forest that now grows on top of them.

Likewise, wildlife that was once animate and part of that ecosystem eventually dies, feeding the earth as it reorganizes into new lifeforms.

We can see this regenerative energy defining the forms of bones – a symbolic image of the death and rebirth life cycle.

Born into this energetically charged environment, we are intrinsically connected – active members defining existence itself.

The Loch Doon area was memorialized in celebrated Scottish poet, Robert Burns piece “Ye banks and braes O’ bonnie Doon”

Ye banks and braes o’ bonny Doon,
How can ye bloom sae fresh and fair?
How can ye chant, ye little birds,
And I sae weary fu’ o’ care?
Thou’lt break my heart, thou warbling bird,
That wantons thro’ the flowering thorn:
Thou minds me o’ departed joys,
Departed, never to return.

Aft hae I rov’d by bonnie Doon,
To see the rose and woodbine twine;
And ilka bird sang o’ its love,
And fondly sae did I o’ mine.
Wi’ lightsome heart I pu’d a rose,
Fu’ sweet upon its thorny tree;
And my fause lover stole my rose,
But, ah! he left the thorn wi’ me.
