The title itself came from Thornley, who sees forms as “both a noun and verb, reflecting biological forms of life and the dynamic process of forming a life. Together they kept searching through the tension between these major life moments that permanently define us and the small, seemingly innocuous moments whose ripples we often have no idea alter us so intensely. We signed on the line for this show before we had produced a single piece, which lit the motivational fire we needed.”Īs they began creating, some ideas and influences kept repeating, particularly nature versus nurture and the butterfly effect. “Last summer we were having a conversation about the vast range and incredible impact of those variables : heredity, time in history, societal context, environment, family, geography, individual choices, etc.,” the pair share, “We both had separately been thinking about how these ideas might be expressed in our art and the conversation led us to explore it together.
LIFE.FORMS: Interpretations in Mixed Media is inspired by the “what if” conversations we all have about how our life ended up being, well, our life. Wayne Thornley are no strangers to making and testing the limits of their art-separate and together-but their new exhibition is a deep dive into experimentation for both of them.
