BROOKLYN STREET ART LOVES YOU MORE EVERY DAY
As summer sun wanes in the Northern Hemisphere, we are again reminded of our dependence upon nature, the print it leaves upon us.
Gola Hundun is fascinated at the moment with the marks that nature can make, and presents these new handmade prints for us to look at. A land artist largely, Gola has experimented and observed our complicated relationship with the earth for more than a decade with his work.
“The human world has many examples of neglected buildings whose demolition is always very tricky and may lead to additional damage to nature,” he tells us. “In the meantime, nature immediately starts to reoccupy the land with fern and fauna, naturally and gradually replacing it.”
With his new series “Habitat”, Gola says he is researching degradation and growth with an aesthetic analysis. “I like mapping it,” he says. “It is a way to witness different cases all over the world and to show it up as a universal phenomenon.”
Here he shows us his prints made with his own version of “eco-printing”, a process that begins with the selection of leaves. Then “I use the leaves to release colors from their tannins and carothens, instead of using chemical inks.”
