“ELEMENTS III”
By Lunel Haysmer
You cannot live on this island and not be aware of the
elements that surround you: Fire, water,
wind, and land. Some are intimate and nurturing; some are violent and
destructive. Having just come through a
hurricane and now watching lava flowing a few miles from our home, that
awareness has pushed through the emotions and fear to produce art!
This series called ELEMENTS expresses how I feel inside as I
respond to these forces over which I have no control. Some friends think we are crazy to have even
moved here, but I know this is where I want to live and die – here on the edge
of life in all its inspiring vitality.
The colorful images used in this art are ones I have been
developing for the last year. They are
digitally modified original fractals I have manipulated. They are overlaid with hundreds of pieces of
broken automobile glass that have been tediously arranged and grouted in
place. The details of the process are my
trade secret at this time while I continue to play with these “ingredients.”
