Echoed Plexus

Abstract

This is a report of a creative thesis to complete the Master of Fine Arts degree at East Carolina University. The body of work presented focuses on the scientific theory of emergence as a connection between the structures of forms from the microcosm to the macrocosm. The work includes visual depictions of the micro and the macro created using both the Scanning Electron Microscope and the traditional methods of drawing and painting. These are metaphors for the duality of the idea of self as an immense and intricate system of millions of complex functions as well as miniscule cell within an infinite expanse of presence and instance.
