October 5 - December 6, 2014, Bridgeland Show Space
Opening Reception: October 11, 2014, 1-5 pm, Bridgeland Market (1104 1 Ave NE) Artist's Statement: Eveline Kolijn explores forms and patterns in Nature and the relationship between our society and the natural environment. Her intense interest in the field of Art & Science has led to her current project, in which she seeks to visually express Breath and state of the art research into early lung-cancer detection. Healthy air is important in a city and to our wellbeing. It is dependent on our exchange with plants and algae: we inhale the oxygen they produce and they use the carbon dioxide we exhale.

THE ECOLOGICAL MESH - exhibition statement My interest in the sciences of natural history, biology and complexity theory is expressed through printmaking and small, sculptural installations made from found synthetic materials. By constructing organisms from plastic and Styrofoam, which share the same source as petroleum, I connect consequences of the consumption of fossil fuels in our society with the beauty and fragility of the natural world. Inspiration for my work flows from exploring the concept of the Biosphere, of living matter being inseparably connected within the geological envelope of the earth. In contemporary thought, Timothy Morton defines interconnectedness in Nature as the Ecological Mesh. - Eveline Kolijn

Science and nature inspire my art. My work investigates form and pattern in nature, organisms, and mechanisms. I also investigate the relationship of Man with Nature. I create dialectic between natural structures and man-made constructions. This opposition appears formal in contrasting organic shapes against Euclidean, rigid structures, but underneath is often a commentary on the relationship between human society and the natural environment.
