Forms In Nature

THE ARTISTS Artists Thyra Hilden (1972, DK) and Pio Diaz, (1973, AR) created Forms in Nature as a tribute to the German artist and naturalist Ernest Haeckel (1834-1919), whose beautiful and meticulous drawings of thousands of plant and animal forms helped introduce Charles Darwin’s theories to a worldwide audience. The light sculpture Forms In Nature turns any room into a wild forest made of haunting oversized shadows. The chandelier is consisting of a light source surrounded by a tense and unruly tree and root system created in a miniature sculpture. Mysterious and magical branches, bushes and gnarled trees appear on the walls and ceilings.
