THE BIOLOGIST


"The Biologist (Area X)" by Troy's Work Table. Carport chalking for Friday 27 February 2015.

---

"The Biologist" swallowed up "Fungal Conversion," incorporating its colors and "shape" into its being, the latter of which was itself an appropriation of "The Pious Pelican."

---

The inspiration for "The Biologist" was two-fold. The first was the biologist as she appears in the three Area X novels of Jeff VanderMeer—Annihilation, Authority, and Acceptance. The second was the 1960 painting Nightwatch by Lee Krasner, which is included in the Seattle Art Museum's The Richard and Jane Lang Art Collection catalog.

I can't say too much about this piece (which takes some liberties with the text) without spoiling the story.
