Some Uni stuff.

The following is a rediculously over-thought theme for a current Uni project. I had a mess of ideas which seemed kind of contradictory, or silly, or just violently in disagreement with my opinions on, well, life... but in writting them out like this, I think I've made sense of them. Sort of.

Deep Space - The Human Condition
Narrative/Theme
The more science attempts to define the difference between non-living matter and living organisms, the more the boundary is blurred. Conciousness is, in my informed opinion, nothing more than a product of biological life.
The only real difference between living and non-living matter, is that living matter obtains and uses energy. And it uses energy to do what defines it as living, growing and reproducing.
If man-made “organisms” obtained energy and used it for growth and some form of reproduction, the boundary would be blurred even further.
In a fantasy, post-biological future, where conciousness could some how be considered a separate entity from biology and not just the product of it, could conciousness appear to behave like a hermit crab searching for found objects to inhabit? Allowing such man-made organisms to “breed” and “grow”.

This is a pitcave. Sort of.
Acrylic, soil, gel medium, paper, cardboard, tissue paper, ink, tea leaves, coffee on wood.

Fancied trying something quite different.
Paper, gel medium, acrylic, watercolour, tissue paper, pencil and sharpie on paper. Based on one of my own photos of London that I took last winter.
