Art Forms in Nature - Ernst Haeckel

these are a few scans taken  from "Art Forms in Nature - Ernst Haeckel" (Prestel Verlag. 2004)  they touch on some of the ideas I had on fractals and outher points i hope to include in my statement.

supernova

there is a painting by Chris Foss called 'stars like dust' (seen in late post) that perfectly sums up these images the universe exists on such an insane scale stars can look like there just a piece of debris i also like how the image seen above of a super nova looks like a close up of the coloured part of the eye ill try find these photos I'm talking about because the details is really uncanny i want to try and get some sort of space dust look going in my own work.

research into formations

inspirations and idias behind title deep sea creatures that have evolved iridescence and strobing lights to entice pray i like how they are see-through but seem to have a glowing edge i can recreate this with acrylic and have used it in the sky
