Whether depicting the world from a traditional receding perspective—a misty landscape at sunrise, snow-laden branches, palm trees bending in the wind—or from above—the serpentine curves of a river, fossil-like patterns in sand, the churning surface of the ocean—Hennek does not record nature but captures the apparitions it evokes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThrough the soft blurring of edges, lyrical colour and a focus on pattern, his images move between representation and abstraction, simultaneously capturing and veiling form. The idea of the sphere links subjects that may at first seem unrelated: a rock posed like a face at the top of a mountain, the glowing ball of the setting sun, the round shapes of ice crystals in a miniature frozen universe, and the great globe of the Earth upon which all this unfolds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd yet Hennek's fascination with spheres is never merely formal: through the \"sounds of spheres\" he taps into the harmonising musical resonances of all living things—secret but accessible, if we only listen closely enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAll living beings produce sounds, just like the planets in the universe: a symphony that we hear only if we become attentive.\u003c\/i\u003e - Mat Hennek\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47431561380076,"sku":"9783969991473","price":145.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9783969991473.jpg?v=1774557562","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/mat-hennek-sounds-of-spheres-9783969991473","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
