“These works connects my passion for the chaotic scene, scrub and scree and meaningful forms that I collect from the wild or in town. Just like the cuckoo, I appropriate the nest of the warbler found at the edge of the forest. Although a simple form, the nest is also a complex construction. Up close, it becomes a miniature bush, a forest. By changing the scale, and drawing in large format, new territory is opened up in which the eye can travel and even get lost.” Nicolas Crispini

Puddle thinking

Imagine a puddle waking up one morning and thinking, “This is an interesting world I find myself in, an interesting hole I find myself in, fits me rather neatly, doesn't it? In fact it fits me staggeringly well, must have been made to have me in it!”

This is such a powerful idea that as the sun rises in the sky and the air heats up and as, gradually, the puddle gets smaller and smaller, it's still frantically hanging on to the notion that everything’s going to be alright, because this world was meant to have him in it, was built to have him in it; so the moment he disappears catches him rather by surprise.

I think this may be something we need to be on the watch out for.

(Douglas Adams)
