Geoffrey Navias - multimedia artist

Artist Statement

I find myself delighting in working with my hands, making art which playfully explores our world: sculptural wood vessels, giant puppets, mobiles, masks, paintings. 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.

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 10 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.
