“Metamorphic Stones – How to Visualize an Inhuman Perspective”
Metamorphic Stones is a multimedia exploration of our perception of stones. In researching Scholar and Spirit Stones I became fascinated by a stone’s ability to appear as though it were moving while remaining static. Through drawing explorations I began incorporating computer animation manipulations to visualize the actual reality of the stone. That is, given a long enough time span the stones are not static. Rather they are a flowing material not unlike water.
Greg Lookerse (USA, b. 1987) is an interdisciplinary artist, author and educator based in West Michigan. Born and raised in Yucaipa, California, Lookerse received his BFA from Biola University (2009) and his MFA from The School of the Museum of Fine Arts Boston at Tufts University (2014). Lookerse makes mixed media drawings, installations and performances that question the nature of sacred objects. “The studio is a wrestling ring. I see something holy, an icon, temple architecture, or religious practices, and I cannot understand why these things are sacred instead of mundane. In order to understand them, I have to dissect them and rearrange them, often finding something new.”
