Microbiome - Free Stitch






In the inner as outer and vice versa, i am working on a bias wool skirt, with a free stitch illustration of a generic microbiome. As these little buggers are integral to our immune system, our digestion and as yet to be found other aspects that contribute to our species well being, they deserve a little fanfare.

Reconnecting to nature, accepting the organic world and its relationship to evolution, i cannot help but think that technology that strives to "conquer or control" nature is a masculinized wet dream that is putting our species into a downward spiral. What fear, what angst what "not good enough" story is in the gut of this thinking?

I have ideas but multiple responses would help us all learn this aspect of "hating ourselcves." I mean really why not embrace the cycle of life in relationship to all life, to the greater energetic flow. So far we have been wrong as many times as we have been right and that right is related to the questions and the tools at hand. Just saying, lets give life and love and our wonderful bugs a chance.
