GEOSMIN

*geosmin is an organic compound with a distinct earthy flavor and aroma. 

​Large scale drawings and sculptures are informed by dark, wild and procreating energy of the soil. Expressive and raw in texture, Geosmin operates on basic sensual level and connects to primal energies, the visceral, the dark and unknown, the animalistic and hairy, the feral, and perpetually vibrating.  Minimal and geometric in form, the works reflects on universal connectedness, and cosmic order.  They balance chaos and order and become portals for reconnecting to something greater.


"Geosmin surrounds you with an earthy, evocative atmosphere, invoking the indefinable scent of rain-soaked soil—a sensory connection to the natural world’s forces both ancient and future. Large-scale graphite drawings, so finely detailed they appear to hover off the wall, create a shadowy play that contrasts with dark, dense suspended sculptures: Savinova’s signature cocoon-like forms crafted from soil, grass, hair, and other natural fibers. The work’s raw materiality evokes primordial mysteries, inviting an intimate dialogue between humanity and nature that embodies both the untamed and the vulnerable, highlighting the dark allure of the unknown." - Vasia Rigou
