The Stokes, “I’ll Try Anything Once”

dear-photograph:

Dear Photograph,
My grandparents shared an astonishing ability to blend intensity and laughter in everything they did. I realize how much their dark, Germanic sense of humor is embedded in my own character. I remember that afternoon in 1995, when they posed for the camera, enacting a present retroactively shaped by a future in which they would be gone. I appreciated their idea for that photo then, and I felt as if I shared a nice laugh with them this afternoon when I bicycled to the cemetery to snap this Dear Photograph.

Greg Dunn: Neurons Painted As Japanese Scrolls

Greg Dunn paints neurons. He uses brushless methods that allow the ink to roll spontaneously across the paper, recreating the ordered randomness of neural projections. He also uses smooth brush strokes that he says “…capture the natural molecular unfolding of nature.”

Here’s what he has to say about what artists can learn from science (and maybe vice versa):

Fundamentally art and science are ruled by the same principal. You must start any project with a clear idea of what your question is. You start with a clear idea and you follow it up with a clear hypothesis. You are trying to get to the root of this question. And when you start painting you are trying to get to the resolution of this question. If you don’t have a clear foundation you will never produce something that is great.
