Jahrfish: toxin appeara

“I’d like to talk about industrial waste contamination, man-made poisons, and their effect on nature and living things. This is a definite recurring theme in my work. It's horrifying to think that something so abrasive and aggressive might come into contact with something as delicate and defenseless as nature's organisms and creatures.“

"He creates something previously unknown or unseen by connecting and fusing disparate elements from both the organic and inorganic worlds. Sometimes a startling image emerges, like the amphibious head of Jahrfish, which leads me back to the Gill Man in the movie Creature from the Black Lagoon. Alternatively, the mouth may not be connected with an underwater creature at all, but is an aspect of a landed animal."

“Very interesting Macri! This sculpture reminds me: a mutation that revisits, a primal and at the same time futuristic being! The Sumerian character Enki and his genetic experiments with the Anunaki!”
~ Paulo Fernandes (Diretor da Cia. Enki de Dança)

“Archetypal! It calls up memories of ancient reptilian physiognomy - hauntingly personified! Medieval art cannot be over-studied. It is full of insights. For their music alone, it could hardly be called a dark age.”
~ Bob Boldt (American artist, writer, poet, film/video maker)
