Geomorphosis-01 is a poetic interpretation of Gruchy’s contemplations around geomorphology, biogeology and biomorphism specifically inspired by the extraordinary geology of the Limestone Coast. He uses mathematical visualisation techniques to allude to the longtime relations between lifeforms and the world we inhabit and the diverse cultural interpretations and understandings brought to bear.

Geomorphosis      : Tim  Gruchy

Biomorphism models artistic design elements on naturally occurring patterns or shapes reminiscent of nature and living organisms. Historically it has also been used in the context of modern art. Thinking about the extraordinary geology of the limestone coast in South Australia, Gruchy began ruminating on Biogeology, which examines biotic and hydrologic systems in relation to each other. What also drew his attention is the study of landforms and their evolution known as Geomorphology which has been described as a Dark Art open to interpretation. Geomorphosis-01 is a poetic interpretation of these contemplations, the longtime relations between lifeforms and the world we inhabit and the diverse cultural interpretations and understandings brought to bear..
