Statement
Robert
John Holland
The
most consistent theme in my 40 years of artistic pursuits is my deep
symbiotic connection to my surroundings. Symbiosis is defined as "an
interaction between two different organisms living in close physical
association, usually to the advantage of both."
My
personal and artistic ambition is to bring viewers into that relationship
so that they can become part of this unique connection and share this
opportunity to preserve the environment that feeds and nourishes us
for the better.
I
often digitize images to distill the elements that light obscures
and capture a glimpse of the "otherworld" we so often walk
by without a forward or backward glance. From my organic gardens,
steel sculptures, to the surreal abstractions and dynamic installations,
my art is a reflection of all of us, as I see it.
