Cami Galofre - Artist

about

"I see the landscape as a cultural identifier shaped by the collective experiences we share within natural spaces. There is a psychological significance, a sense of home, that the places that have been, in one way or another, sacred to each of us live on in the form of memory. It's a phenomenon similar to the poetry of abstraction. As details fade, reflection deepens. There is a spiritual impermanence within this process, an uncontrolled transformation you find in flowing water, or the weather."
