About Mal White : Sitting under a magnificent old branched tree, an umbrella of nature, I sit upon nature's green carpet humbly glancing at the wilderness beyond. Bees hum and settle on yellow flowers, their sacks of nectar, almost drunk with their excessive hoard. Sad though, their life is programmed into their DNA, moving in zig zag paths around grass blades, rain, and anything that wants to eat them. We live in a similar world... zig zag paths, highs and lows, unpredictable events, catastrophes and more, yet we have choices and we can move away from patterns, predictability and rules. We have the abilty to change or challenge this through design and art. New ideas challenge the old and seed further new directions. How lucky I am to be human, creative and willing to challenge, and forever being part of the growing hive.
STATEMENT OF ART:
Design is about making things simple, functional, and ultimately beautiful. Art is about making the simple complex and the complex simple. It can challenge the mind, it asks to be beautiful yet it can wear an ugly mask and vice versa... it challenges the mind yet it sympathises with it too. The two, art and design are good and evil and yet when combined they create a magic that is appreciated by all or can be challenged by all... a powerful mixture!
