Califlora - polychromos pencil over watercolour

Still one of my favourite drawings, but I love the test sheet too. When I make commissions, I draw two identical outlines on the same acid-free paper. One sheet gets used to test everything & becomes like that damaged portrait in the Oscar Wilde book, while the other becomes the nice shiny final artwork. Once the finished piece has shipped, the test sheet is the part I get to keep. I return to these sheets again and again, to relearn ways to draw difficult subjects.

I live in the UK and probably won't ever meet the Californian wildlife in this drawing for real. So it was cool to get to research parasitic plants, fritillaries, etc from somewhere else in the world!

“For a landscape ecologist, a landscape is made up of a spatial array of patches. Depending on the researcher’s perspective, patches may consist of ecosystems or may simply be areas of habitat for a particular organism. Patches are spread spatially over a landscape in a mosaic. This metaphor reflects how natural systems often are arrayed across landscapes in complex patterns, like an intricate work of art.”

Science and art and starkid's firebringer

This post feels like it has really been a long time coming and is possibly a little shorter than I would've liked so there may be a part 2 but this is the key stuff.

I have been irritated for a while now by the idea of art vs science because I've never understood why not both? I feel like there are so many things that people try and force to be separate when really everything is so much more complicated than that. The best post I have ever seen on Tumblr is one that said art and science are fucking on the couch. It's not a quote I am able to use in my personal statement to uni but if I could I would because it is something I so strongly agree with and that really has made me think about art and science.

A lot of the art I've created has stemmed from scientific ideas or facts for example I made a piece inspired by the fact that humans share so much of our chemical composition with stars and that so many elements are created from supernovas. Imagination is so key for both art and science, in science maybe it's imagining a solution or an experiment, in art maybe it's imagining what you want your piece to look like or what media you want to use or in both maybe its just an abstract hypothetical idea that is fun to consider but might never actually be created. I feel like science connects every aspect of life and maybe that's just because I love it but because of that it makes so much sense for it to inspire art because life inspires art.

Starkid's firebringer is a musical that I feel highlights these themes beautifully. It suggests it is human nature to create art and to investigate the world and ultimately, I think, it suggests it is human nature to be kind. Zazzalil is curious about the world and this leads her to the scientific discovery of fire but this damages the environment. Obviously this links to the problem of climate change but more broadly it shows that science isn't good or bad it just depends how we use our knowledge. Firebringer really emphasised for me why I want to do science for good. I want to help people and to help the environment and although maybe a starkid musical seems like a strange place to get inspiration, if science can inspire art why shouldn't art inspire science too? The moment of the musical that made me cry is when zazzalil sings to jemilla "this is the dawn, the dawn of our time". This quote also made me think about scientific discovery and how although I feel I tend to criticise humanity often for our lack of care for the environment, lack of action etc. We have made so much progress, scientific understanding has advanced so much and we can do more. The scientists of tomorrow will have so many problems to face but there's also excitement for the things we might discover. And again, maybe it's strange to other people that firebringer is the thing that inspired me to remember this but to me it doesn't seem strange at all; because in my mind creativity is creativity and the art feeds the science and the science feeds the art and I do science to help people and some of those people do art to help people and maybe that helps someone else who does science or who does neither. And maybe we don't have to just be one thing, just pick one thing, maybe we can feel connected to so much and yet like me, still be unable to put it into words because you'd need my life story to explain why I want to study science

And even though it might not be the most acceptable way to put it, art and science are fucking on the couch.

The art and science of the human brain

Delicate Neural Choreographies: "Self Reflected" by Dr. Greg Dunn and Dr. Brian Edwards

"[...] it is possible to use science or engineering as the starting points to create artworks that are completely based on fantasy. Yet, it is also possible to create pieces that are completely based on science and that look like fascinating works of art. "Self Reflected" (2019-2022) by Dr. Greg Dunn in collaboration with Dr. Brian Edwards is the perfect example."

""Self Reflected" is a visually bright work of elegance and beauty that pulsates with mesmerizing lights and wavelike electrical activity and its merit stands in the fact that it provides us with an immediate picture of the human brain.

The artwork makes it easier to grab the vastness and beautiful organization of the brain and lets us understand the complexity behind it not with difficult scientific explanations, but with immediate and delicately balanced neural choreographies designed to reflect what is occurring in our own minds as we observe this piece."

Iteration book

In this art book(let) I want to collect a lot of information about dynamical systems and chaotic processes - and explain iterations by using methods of iteration - with the help of transparent foils. [It explains itself in the way/kind it explains itself, so to speak. [Self-referring recursive loop - I might leap into the topic of Gödel's Incompleteness Theorems and non-linear axiomatic systems occassionally... ] ]

I also want to portray cell division as concrete example - and I also want to include some ideas about Feynman diagrams and explain them as interaction patterns - step by step using transparent foils. --- to render a better understanding of this complex topic about dynamical systems and their axiomatization - and to explain my analogies and neologisms of my concept of "information weaving"

The School of Athens - preparatory cartoon (drawing sketch) - 1509

Artist: Raffaello Sanzio (Raphael)

Medium: fresco and charcoal

Dimensions: 9' x 26'

Location: Pinacoteca Ambrosiana, Milan, Italy

This drawing is certainly one of the most precious artworks in the collection and in the city of Milan. It is the largest renaissance cartoon that has survived to this day, and was made by Raphael as a preparatory work for the Stanza della Segnatura in the Vatican, which was commissioned by Pope Julius II. It entered Federico Borromeo’s collection in 1626, when he purchased it from the widow of Fabio Borromeo Visconti for the massive sum of six hundred imperial lire, even though it had actually been on loan to the Ambrosiana since 1610. Although it is known as The School of Athens, the more exact title is Philosophy, as suggested by the allegory of the same subject painted on the vault above the fresco in the Stanza della Segnatura, as part of a very complex iconographic project. At the center we see the two greatest philosophers, Plato (painted with the likeness of Leonardo da Vinci, with his finger pointing upwards and identifiable by the Timaeus he is holding, one of his works that had enormous influence on later philosophy) and Aristotle, who is identified by his Book of Ethics.

There is a fundamental reason why we look at the sky with wonder and longing - for the same reason that we stand, hour after hour gazing at the distant swell of the open ocean. There is something like an ancient wisdom, encoded and tucked away in our DNA, that knows its point of origin as surely as a salmon knows its creek. Intellectually, we may not want to return there, but the genes know, and long for their origins - their home in the salty depths. But if the seas are our immediate source, the penultimate source is certainly the heavens... The spectacular truth is - and this is something that your DNA has known all along - the very atoms of your body - the iron, calcium, phosphorus, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and on and on - were initially forged in long-dead stars. This is why, when you stand outside under a moonless, country sky, you feel some ineffable tugging at your innards. We are star stuff. Keep looking up.
