A nice triad of commissions has come my way. At the moment I'm researching plankton for a piece of writing for Anne Bevan's upcoming exhibition 'Particle' (about foraminifera) in Shetland this August. (See her extraordinary form above. I'm so chuffed to be collaborating with her.) Some happy discoveries already: the Greek origin of 'plankton' means 'errant' or 'wandering.' If something is defined as 'planktonic' it means it is incapable of swimming against the current. And I found this very pleasing youtube of a questing foraminifer...
If you can't swim against the current you have to trust in where the current will carry you...
