DESCRIPTION/STATEMENT: In this image, the pattern of sutures of a human skull overlays the image of a cloud. Sutures are lines that mark the places where the individual bony plates of the skull fuse together in childhood. Without this facility, babies could not be born and human intelligence could not have evolved. This work is a reflection on birth, life and evolution and brings the human body into a relationship with the earth and the sky.
