Andrew Totman: Seasons, Tides, and Lunar Cycles

In this series, Totman presents a fresh direction developed from memories of the natural world; an awareness of the influence of environment, weather and the unfathomable depth of galaxy. Always inspired by light and colour, Totman has taken a glance back to recollections of a childhood fascinated by luminous, stained glass panels in church and the velvety darkness of a star-studded night sky. Reliant on repetition of shape and form, these images are essentially abstract. They represent Totman’s symbolic use of the sphere as a natural, organic form and a spiritual icon of the universe. Telescoping as though from an observatory, the spherical form is strongly resonant of the night sky, the light haloes emanating outwards from stars and moon pulsating in a dark space.
