Nick Hobbs – BOOOOOOOM! – CREATE * INSPIRE * COMMUNITY * ART * DESIGN * MUSIC * FILM * PHOTO * PROJECTS

A haunting sequence by artist Nick Hobbs. Working from pictures discovered on-line, in scientific archives, in addition to his personal private collections, Hobbs’ drawings play on the boundaries of familiarity and ambiguity, the recognized and unknown. As Hobbs explains:

“These drawings are snapshots (fragments, proof) of an try and reconcile two scales. First, scale of the on a regular basis, the earthly, the private, and the human. That which is acquainted and particular to non-public expertise, particularly these qualities which might be most taken as a right. Second, the size of deep time and the cosmological. That which exists, all or partially, past the boundaries of instinct. I perceive these scales to be irreconcilable, making this observe finally futile from the attitude of arriving at a particular conclusion. As a substitute, I method it as an archaeologist, inferring what I can from the in-situ artifacts of tradition, expertise, reminiscence, intimacy, and historical past. This fossil report is incomplete and infrequently deceptive, however an excessive amount of information might be extrapolated from such sparse proof.”
