ADAPTATION


A solo exhibition by Jasmin Faulhaber

Adaptation features of a variety works examining how shadows are formed depending on the environment around them. The works shown, play with a variety of textures and media, exploring this with oil paint, silk and mixed media. 

The series of patterns were inspired by silhouettes from the foliage of various plants and leaves. These shadows were then placed into a new environment allowing them to adapt and interact with in their new surroundings. 

Being able to feel settled, to feel like you are part of the object and it's surroundings; as though you have never left. Shadows always have to adapt and take form, regardless of what is happening around them. These shadows represent a positive movement, not a weakness or a darker side. The opposite. 

To be able to move on, in a clear and adaptive form. How the shadow is a representation of the conscious mind and instincts, an identification and projection of the forever changing soul.
