Blemished Icthious The Ubiquity of decay gave rise to microbial diversity

The ubiquity of decay gave rise to microbial diversity, as we emerged from the oceans – the primordial broth, the mother liquor of biodiversity

Blemished-Icthious-1

Inescapable in its encroachment

Ubiquitous…insidious…

Creeping, crepitous and cruel

Subordinate life, unfettered, arises:

Blemished-Icthious-2
Blemished-Icthious-3

To stain the blemished ichthious,

The tarnished jewel…

Joseph Walker

Joseph A. Walker

As a scientist with experience in applied biotechnology & chemistry, Joseph has always been drawn to the fundamentals; the "first principles" of nature: This curiosity manifested early as the study of snails and ants with a magnifying glass in the garden as a child and matured to creating fluorescent nanoparticles in the lab from biological materials as a working adult. His search for the meaning of life is no more evident than in his artistic work, for which he has chosen the medium of photomicrography, i.e., photography using a microscope. He is in essence a visual philosopher of biology; a noetic naturalist…As such, each exhibit carries a central narrative motif. Carried through all his works is a sense of pontification and awe that continually harkens back to the origins of life and its diversity. Joseph currently resides in Newmarket, England, with his wife Salomie, who is a poet.
