What if animals and plants were attuned to a non-material region of influence, a morphogenetic field and were able to respond to a morphic resonance enabling change. Global warming, climate change and sprawling urban development, monoculture are impacting nature. Could the natural world, in all its complexity, evolve and reshape itself in the face of extinction? Is it already in the process of doing so?
The Biologist, Rupert Sheldrake, suggests the possibility of Morphic Fields that influence the development and behaviour of biological systems; organising principles that determine shape, form and pattern in nature. A holistic, intriguing but controversial theory opposed by conventional scientific methodologies such as those put forward in Darwin’s theory of evolution. Or rooted in Plato’s deductive mechanistic logic advocating truth and beauty, harmony and balance or Aristotle’s belief in soul.
It is appealing to consider that there may be creative, organising principles guiding life itself as opposed to acknowledging the blind workings of evolution and natural selection.
Human perception is not only rooted in the senses, but also influenced by memory, experience, transmitted knowledge and culture.
Some of the exhibiting artists have chosen to be present to current sensations, carefully observing the subject they represent, others have imbedded their subject in a carefully considered designs, or chosen a narrative context with symbolic significance. Each artist has responded to the natural world in a unique way, creating a singular artwork composed of shapes, rhythms and patterns. This intelligent, formal language, acting as a ‘morphic field’ communicates illusive images, thoughts and feelings from one person to another. Beyond this is a discrete intelligent ‘morphic resonance’ reflects the zeitgeist or spirit of the time and place the work was created.
The group of artists showing on Wildlife 25 display a creative and organised response to the natural world. Pause and look carefully at The Cape Gallery.
