EMERGENCE. TERRACINA ITALIA 2016. Swarming feet, complex simplicity, counting as anxiety, structure or a lack thereof // paper maps/ fishing line/ hot glue //

‘The collective behaviour of semi-autonomous individual organisms is exhibited in the social group dynamics of many natural species. Flocks of birds and schools of fish produce what appears to be an overall coherant form or array, without any leader or central directing intelligence. Insects such as bees and termites produce complex built artefacts and highly organised functional specialisations without central planning or instructions. Structured behaviour emerges from the repetition and interaction of simple rules…’  Weinstock// Morphogenesis and the Mathematics of Emergence//

A recent collaboration with brilliant artist Ash Colin.

Last Summer I was invited to develop my Art in Terracina, Italy. The residency was hosted by Randy Jones (at his beautiful home in the mountains) and Stella Whalley. I worked alongside artists Beth Brock, Edward Clayton, Caroline Crawford, Kerry Forkner, Joseph Langshaw, Dorothea Reid, Cally Shadbolt, Andrea Vargas Walker and Alison Walters. I hope that you will enjoy this little video of my experience.
