Melo (2020) 雕塑 由 Amber Bijl

This object is made of Maple Tree seeds within a shell of polymer clay. In this single work, over 15,000 individual maple seeds are carefully processed. For me, this is a process where I completely isolate myself and work from a flow. It is very Zen, and has something meditative about it. This is also visible and tangible in the final result; a contemporary art object with a strong natural dimension, which in terms of appearance also has similarities with Ethnography.
The works carry the aspect of growth and renewal within them. After all, every seed has the potential to develop into a tree, and then to bear seed itself. Under the right conditions, something big can emerge from something small. How inspiring.
Sitting within your room it will radiate peace and serenity. Light, both during the day from natural light and at night from lamplight a dynamic appearance. The object thus conveys an ever-changing energy, but always from a natural tranquility. Compare it to the peace of rustling trees or rippling water. A shell found in the woods.
