Banana Leaf, 1956.

“The photographs reproduced in this volume reveal strikingly the harmonious shapes and formations created by nature in crystal, stone, plants, animals, in earth, water, con- stellations, nebulae, clouds. We see the structural pattern in bone tissue and in the cross-section of the spine of a sea urchin; the design in the stripes and spots of animal fur, in the plumage of birds, in the endless variety of shells, in the skeletons of coral, and even in the feeding patterns of bugs and caterpillars. These photographs bring to light the surprising likeness between the designs we find in nature and the patterns created in human art, particularly in modern abstract and geometric design.”

A Siberian Shaman. Date: Original drawing from around 1776; published as a colored engraving in 1803. The source is cited as “The Costume of the Russian Empire, London: William Miller, 1803,” but I couldn’t find the colored version of this engraving in that specific work- it might be from a different edition.

“The most potent muse of all is our own inner child.” — Stephen Nachmanovitch

That is a profound quote from Free Play: Improvisation in Life and Art. It highlights how raw creativity stems from a place of uninhibited play, curiosity, and wonder.
