Natural forms recur through the painterly gaze, acquiring the significance of forms of being. They imprint a psychological state onto the image. Works that reference nature through form turn to the matrix and the familiarity of the natural component as a source of inspiration. The interpretative approach from a psychological perspective explores the emotional and human sensations that such forms are capable of evoking. Obsession takes visual shape in the multiplicity of eggs, defensive violence becomes a ball of bees imprisoning a wasp, and the workings of the imaginative mind are reflected in mother-of-pearl. Nature, like a third autonomous body in which the human being inevitably reflects itself, is revealed through the painterly lens as fragmented into its various elements or in
the form of a landscape.
