Explorations

Work organized by what kept appearing.

Interconnectedness

Every element here depends on something else.

The boundary between things is less clear than it looks.

That’s not a poetic observation. It’s just accurate.

White and red poppies with bees on a deep teal background in an illustrative botanical style

The Network

Nothing here is separate.

A bee approaching a cream and coral flower with deep teal foliage, in a painterly botanical style

The Exchange

Neither one is doing this alone.

Metamorphosis

Change in living systems is rarely dramatic.

It tends to be incremental, then sudden, then complete.

The in-between state is where the most is happening.

Abstract organic forms with dotted patterns and coral accents on black, resembling a scientific specimen plate

Emergence

The pattern forms without instruction.

Available as print

A moth with poppies and spores in coral and gold tones on a black background

Membrane

Most of it happens without witnesses.

Stillness

Stillness isn’t absence.

A forest at midday is still and also relentlessly active.

The two aren’t in conflict.

Golden dandelion seedheads glowing in a dark forest setting

Slow Form

Growth doesn’t announce itself.

Glowing dandelions at dusk with fireflies in sage, gold and grey tones

Low Light

What glows at dusk was always there.

Lotus flowers and buds on dark teal water with a full moon reflected, in an illustrative painting style

Still Water

The surface holds more than it shows.

Luminous cream and coral anemone flowers with golden stamens against a deep blue-black background

Soft Light

Opening is not the same as revealing.

Nature as Intelligence

Not intelligence like thinking.

Intelligence like: the system already knows what to do.

It has been refining itself longer than observation has existed.

Two green frogs on a mossy log in a wetland, one perched above and one half-submerged, in muted green tones

Still Watching

It noticed me before I noticed it.

Available as print

A frog sitting on a lily pad in coral and teal tones, looking upward

The Witness

It was already looking when I arrived.

Two frogs in a lush rain-soaked forest with vivid green foliage

After Rain

The whole system reorients within hours.

A few of these exist as physical objects.
