A small poem for Autumn. Tracks made by microscopic animalcules in a minute drop of a small leaf covered woodland puddle. The process of decay and regeneration has already begun.

[m] Self Portrait: this self portrait has not been painted by my visible self but by the bacteria of my gut microbiome. Mixed with watercolours on growth agar & incubated overnight, my bacteria swarm over the media to move the paints, painting, illustrating their power & impact.

It is entirely possible to grow, sustainably, a pair of denim jeans (textile and dye) from just two different kinds of bacteria (or perhaps a denim face mask)

Snow Over Springfield Farm (2021). Using algorithmic photography to track the fall of individual snowflakes as they fall to Earth.

Ocean Eyes: "walkin' through a world gone blind" Tears of frustration. (psychic human tears (mine), DIC microscopy, 100-times magnification). Been done before but an expression of my mood today. Black Dog is scratching at the door.

Special K: an aesthetic of a controlled drug (Ketamine, DIC microscopy, 100-times magnification). A new #sciart project exploring the capricious aesthetic of the controlled drug Ketamine (an anaesthetic, recreational drug, & a possible therapy for treatment-resistant depression

Knotted Light [exploring a novel and sustainable microbiologically derived cotton]. The process begins with a photoautotrophic seed which is cultured, using little more than sunlight, water & air (photosynthesis), harvested, & then converted into a material that is cotton-like.

An impromptu calendar. A Stolen Spring (Part 1) : a tale of untreatable depression and enforced homelessness, during the pandemic.
