What was Arp's concept of biomorphic forms?
Biomorphic forms are shapes that evoke living organisms, but without directly imitating them. They are like seeds, roots, or cells, suggesting the processes of life and growth. I found these forms in nature, in the accidental shapes of stones or clouds, and I let them emerge in my work. This approach allowed me to move beyond human control, connecting with a more universal, elemental creativity. It was about embracing organic, fluid shapes rather than rigid, geometric ones.
