Exotique Alienne

The otherworldliness and alien essence of the microcosmos forms the theme of this collection…

We are assaulted by grotesque, occasionally unnerving, complexity of anatomy: insects and arachnids are characterised by a striking specialisation of form and function.

Piercing, clawing, crushing and sucking structures exemplify the predatory intent and desperation of evanescent lives lived entirely in the miniature, in service of instinctive survival.

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.
