Artist Statement

This blog is my exploration and response to the concept of validity within different aspects of life. Social, philosophical, physical, and personal validation is what many strive for, and is a key part of self maintenance. My intent is to push images, videos, etc. unto you (as the viewer of my blog) and to prove the validity of seemingly mundane and obvious aspects (objects, ideas, people, places, etc.) of everyday life.

Eggs

Eggs:
They are arguably the most significant cells in the world. They bring forth life, and are often eaten. In this image, the eggs laid in perfect rows come from a woodland moth and are hidden on the underside of a lilac tree leaf. It seems that planning and organisation are traits not limited to only humans. The only reason I noticed these eggs was because I was laying on ground and looked up and saw them. Try looking at things from a different perspective. You may notice things that you would never have seen. If I hadn't turned over that leaf, those eggs still would have been there, but I wouldn't have been provided with the feeling of connectedness I have with organisms I would have previously considered insignificant.
