Isabella Kirkland, "Descendant," 1999, detail view; oil paint, alkyd on panel
“It is interesting to contemplate an entangled bank, clothed with many plants of many kinds, with birds singing on the bushes, with various insects flitting about, and with worms crawling through the damp earth, and to reflect that these elaborately constructed forms, so different from each other, and dependent on each other in so complex a manner, have all been produced by laws acting around us.”
I thought this sentence looked rather nice juxtaposed with one of the mesmerizing paintings of Isabella Kirkland, interviewed in the first month of Dot Earth. Zoom in to the canvas and look around!
