“Organics”
          The Art of Donna Forma

​Representing life or aspects of it, thousands of fragile parts woven, melding, overlapping layer upon layer upon layer, emerging into shapes of strength and beauty. Nest, cocoon, shelter, it is as if I am the insect doing my part in creating that form that contains and surrounds, allowing my works and me to be grafted. What lies inside, whether threatful and ominous, or full of exaltation, it is the mixed bag of life, dealing us what is to come, no control with my control. My part in building that perfect new description, that apparent simplicity, the essence of a natural order, that just feels right.
