Geoffrey Navias - multimedia artist

Artist Statement

After working as a theater director for 35 years, I find myself delighting in working with my hands, making art which playfully explores our world. I find myself responding to the significant impact which climate change is having.  I am called to create work which explores the intersection of nature and city landscapes. My current work visually invites you to explore nature and cities from new perspectives. The art itself takes many forms, a series of mobiles which  taking a que from nature and the repeating cycles of city life, the image is always changing while repeating cyclical patterns.

Artistic Process

My studio is the Old Nelson Grange.  The studio encompasses a gallery, wood shop, painting and sculpture studio, with a design and drafting studio in the back.  My most recent series starts with collecting wood from fallen trees uprooted over the last 8 years in local climate storms: This series of sculptures is informed by the qualities and peculiarities of each fallen tree.  Each piece of wood is its own story rooted in the land, the weather, the years of its' growth and surrounding. Each Storm Wood Series Sculpture invites one to continue the tree's story, inviting one to keep something precious with in the vessel.
