The Grass is Always Greener on the Other Side II ²⁰²⁰

Koos Breen is fascinated by how humans try to tame and imitate nature. The patterns of crop circles reminded him of tribal hairstyles. As he immersed himself in this way of haircutting, he came across a green, oval hairdresser’s apron. This in turn reminded him of the priests’ robes with nature motifs designed by Henri Matisse. All these associations come together in this one work. The pattern is inscrutable. It looks symmetrical, but it isn’t. And it is not real grass either.
