The Process of adaptation :

a series of 9 PAINTINGS

Commissioned by Presidio Bay Ventures for 777 Industrial Rd.

  1. Filaments in Equilibrium

    The original state of balance: Delicate threads and fabric suspended over and tracing the emergence of energy, earth, light, and water.

  2. And When it All Erupts

    Fires, floods, volcanoes, earthquakes: The extinction events

  3. The Fragility of Stillness

    The quiet and stillness afterwards.

  4. Survivor Qualities

    Even after mass devastation, life finds a way—fractured rocks, permanent monoliths, tower around the souls of beings past as they begin to take form once more.

  5. awake & listening

    Energy of new life and a new world order

  6. Shedding Excess and Sharing Resources

    The longest surviving and longest living life forms on Earth— glass sponges, blue-green algae, the immortal jellyfish— are all water dwellers.

  7. Etched in Stone, Fresh as New Life

    Made using Renaissance-era techniques and materials, the fresco depicts co-evolving species.

  8. Perceptions of Control

    The new, more vibrant and weather-tested state of equilibrium, differs from the initial, more tenuous equipoise of the series’ first

    painting.

  9. For a More Advanced Awareness

    A dynamic future: unstructured and ever vulnerable to the repetition of this cycle
