Bloom is an exhibition of new bone sculptures by Gerard Geer. In Bloom, Geer explores the relationships between plants and animals, in terms of both form and function, with a series of intricate sculptures created from animal bones.
Nature takes the central focus as flowers, grasses, and fungi spring up from fertile landscapes. Growing out of crystallised animal remains, they reclaim and redistribute the energies. The creatures in this collection act as pollinators and work in harmony with both the plants and each other to proliferate. Delicate flowers, made with repeating sequences of bone, mirror the shapes and structures from which their nutrients are derived. This collection considers these intricate relationships, and the title reflects the blooming of both the flowers and the relationships between the animals that feed from them.
