About Biomorphic No 4

Jana Osterman is fascinated and inspired by the organic shapes found in nature. This is one in a series of imposing wall reliefs created in venetian plaster. Osterman’s biomorphic work is intended to evoke images of living things whether plants or humans.The pure white of the piece serves to accentuate the subtle markings and the elongated oval form.

“I’m interested in producing quiet, minimal, contemplative work, concerned with how far I can push a form and material to stay inside that realm.” Jana Osterman
