The organic life
The art by Rikke Darling is a visual narrative about the nature in human – and the human in nature. A story of how humans are part of a complex universal pattern, where surroundings, on an energy level, merge with sensation, emotions and thoughts.
The Art by Rikke Darling entails a confidence in the power of abstraction, the complex and the subtle, where something in articulated in us is met with an inspiring energy. With her art, she wish to move the observer with her outlook on the nature in human – and the human in nature. It is a narrative of how human is nature and part of a complex universal pattern, where surroundings, on an energy level, merge with sensation, emotions and thoughts.
In her art she use the flow of nature, where large amounts of water make shapes floating and alive. She uses the laws of nature to create movement and cracks. Branches shoot forward like new beginnings and follow the universal pattern of fractal budding. Cells are the building blocks of nature and the foundation of life. Everything alive consists of cells. The human body is in constant change from the first cell formation, where stem cells are the foundation of our complex organism.
She views the world holistically with a focus on the whole. Humans and everything in the world are inextricably linked. She is fascinated by nature’s patterns and by micro and macrocosm relations. In quantum physics we have learned that everything is energy. Any physical thing, sensation, emotion, thought or expression of life is a mark of energy. Our mind lives and gathers daily energy from the world around us, and with her art, she wish to contribute with a sensual stimulus, an inspiring energy and perhaps even new realizations. www.rikkedarling.com
