Unit 1: Week 17: Research: The work of James Lovelock (Entanglement & Interconnectedness)

To further my research on interconnectedness and entanglement, I am now reading some of the work of James Lovelock. I’ve just finished reading Novacene: The Coming Age of HyperIntelligence, and have started reading Gaia and We Belong to Gaia by the same author. What a refreshing, coherent and uplifting read Novacene has been. A far departure from some of the other booksContinue reading “Unit 1: Week 17: Research: The work of James Lovelock (Entanglement & Interconnectedness)”

Unit 1: Week 16: Practice: Artwork Resolution: The Enchantment of the Anthropocene

I’ve been doing quite a lot of work on my research and writing of my Contextual Essay, and bringing it all together has put me in a better position to be able to write more coherently about this piece: This composition seeks to draw its viewer into the world of the Anthropocene.

Unit 1: Week 10: Research: The Ecological Thought (Entanglement & Interconnectedness)

My current hyper-fixation (long may it last) is one that has flitted in and out of my mind most of my life – the fact that I am of the opinion that we (all living and non living species and non-species on earth, and in the universe) are interconnected. It’s never really a line ofContinue reading “Unit 1: Week 10: Research: The Ecological Thought (Entanglement & Interconnectedness)”

Unit 1: Week 8: 3 Paintings, 1 Journey

These paintings, set here in order of when I started them/conceptualized them, represent a journey that I’ve gone on over the past few weeks. I started out with the David Bowie painting – now finally complete, partially as a material exploration (grisaille technique and oil painting), and partially to explore the topic of AI. MyContinue reading “Unit 1: Week 8: 3 Paintings, 1 Journey”
