Permeable Membranes

A continuing series of multimedia explorations dancing with concepts of relational existence. Every discrete entity or individual self is actually embedded within a ecology of living systems. Boundaries morph into porous thresholds under a microscope and communities of organisms live within a single body.

Symbiotic relationships operate with modes of exchange that are often strange, invisible and outside human awareness, be it time frame, scale or signal.\

Intelligence, communication, interdependence, mutual benefit and reciprocity is the fabric of life.

Selections of these works have been shown at various exhibitions.
