Daughter No.1 adds a certain je ne sais quoi to my flower photograph.
The knack
To live completely the paradox that things matter absolutely and things absolutely do not matter.
Flowers at home

Time and all that jazz
I know you’ve heard it all before but I really can’t recommend highly enough embracing that you will fail at things, that you cannot be certain about very much at all, that you have very limited control of many aspects of your life (to the degree that many of the things impacting on your life will be forever completely obscure to you) and that death is not just the end of your story but the end of time.
Right, what’s next?

Lightbox mounted threadless embroidery 2011
Using manipulated lace patterns, formalised through alchemical symbolism this series attempts to illustrate a a temporary moment of continuity; a state George Baitialle believed could only be experienced in death or through sexual climax.A triptych of embroideries sewn without thread, and mounted onto a light source allowing the pin holes which would normally be concealed to become filled with light exposing the sharply punctured surface and creating an almost cosmic surface.(via shinyslingback:)

(Reblogged from theantidote)
One hundred years from now, the role of science and technology will be about becoming part of nature rather than trying to control it.
So much of science and technology has been about pursuing efficiency, scale and “exponential growth” at the expense of our environment and our resources. We have rewarded those who invent technologies that control our triumph over nature in some way. This is clearly not sustainable.
We must understand that we live in a complex system where everything is interrelated and interdependent and that everything we design impacts a larger system.
My dream is that 100 years from now, we will be learning from nature, integrating with nature and using science and technology to bring nature into our lives to make human beings and our artifacts not only zero impact but a positive impact to the natural system that we live in.
