Playing the form of a plant/ animal

For instance

Organic form –visual representation of organic forms –Heckel

Idealising –our perception of nature

Not sure about this forum. These people ware somewhat strange – I like the speakers but I feel somewhat embarrassed by the discussions – for instance – art/science so what.
I want to discuss alarming Dr Frankenstein scenarios.

- I like this sense of perverted/ against nature/ yucky –unsettling
- I like this debate – what might make it interesting – situationalist artist

Life cycle as narrative
