TO HUMANITY, WITH LOVE: An assemblage of found and fossicked parts makes up Wairoa artist Tish Scott's sculpture, Artificial Intelligence vs Mother Nature. Picture supplied

An assemblage of found and fossicked parts makes up Wairoa artist Tish Scott's sculpture, Artificial Intelligence vs Mother Nature.

The work is one of three sculptures that will be part of Scott's exhibition, Out of the Illusion, Into the Unified Field, of about 70 paintings.

Many of the motifs – eyeballs, faces, limbs, tentacles and a monkey — in the pictured relief's restless surface chime with those in Scott's surrealistic paintings.

The paintings are infused with a liminal atmosphere, as if at the boundary of consciousness. The sculptures are blacker.

The emphasis is on love for humanity though, says Scott.

“This is not a protest piece. This is me trying to reach my brothers and sisters.”

Out of the Illusion, Into the Unified Field, an exhibition of paintings by Tish Scott, opens at Tairawhiti Museum, tomorrow at 5.30pm.
