About the Artwork

Wild Harvested Earth Pigment and Earth Minerals on stretched canvas

Size: 61cm x 76cm 

The Sun/Nuclear Fusion is in response to humanities desire to harness natures secret.

The work honours earths mysteries by using the earth itself to discuss the world-wide race of scientists to reproduce the mass-energy equivalence of radiating energy produced by the inner core of the sun.

Nature is such an incredible balance, its complexities reach far beyond our understandings.

Experimental scientists endeavour to build nuclear fusion reactors to combat the growing need for alternative energy options.

It is not my place to say whether this is a good or bad idea, I simply honour the sun, and am blessed upon its rise and fall everyday. 

About the Artist:  Storm Lahiff is an artist who creates from her mountain studio in the Great Dividing Range of Queensland, Australia.

Storm's process involves respectfully wild harvesting earth pigments from her mountain property, grinding the rocks by hand - processing them into paint.

These pigments are then used by themselves or combined with sourced earth minerals and oxides not native to the land in which she lives, but whose hues depict the story of the land. 

Each work carries traces of the earth, and discusses the connection between humanity, the natural world, and technology.

These works are reminders to pause, breathe and reconnect directly with nature.

From the Earth offers something real, tactile, grounded- made by the hands of a human.
