Statement
Harry Schumacher addresses the way people treat nature:
“We place ourselves above nature even though we are part of it. We see nature as a laboratory that we can experiment with any way we like!
Because of the complexity of social structures people rely more on their ratio than their feelings. A balance of the two would be more desirable. The ratio feeds on limitations and increases the distance towards nature. The installations I made are a consequence of how the human race sees nature. I create works of art intuitively by constantly being aware of the absurdity of human behavior. Recognizing the absurdity of human behavior has becomes my second nature. An alternative world of metaphors is the result.”
In the drawings the collection of instruments has increased. With a self-made technique the drawings have been transferred to felt.
