Known for his monochromatic
imagery, Sheridan’s work explores self-organizing symmetries in the natural world.
Affected by elemental conditions, natural objects organize in a way that is neither
crystalline nor inorganic. Water erosion sculpts mountains as life populates the
resulting fertile pockets. Thematic and fluid, these natural symmetries are accentuated
through repetition, which in turn creates texture and form structures in negative space.
In “As Above,” the artist moves beyond logical assumptions to ask questions such as
“What is the natural mind?“ and “What can be obtained from an ‘archaic’ mind?”
Sheridan elucidates, “The modern technological supposition that we are the highest
order of human to live on this planet is flanked by a great body of thought still
influencing our lives, an ancient mind unable to separate subjective and objective,
finding meaning in every great cosmic or earthly rumbling. This old mindset still holds a
key to linking these realities. It’s also this archaic mind that got us in this present
predicament. Which is a predicament in itself.”
Update: my posts are all back. I’m not sure if how many other
SFW blogs lost their posts, but they’ll probably be back soon. Still, be
sure to back up your posts though no matter what kind of blog you have, it’s better to be safe than sorry!
