‘Modification with descent’.

Using Charles Darwin’s ‘modification with descent’, from ‘The Origin of the Species’, I explore the moment preceding the event of an arrival or departure - a juncture in ones life.
This ‘tension’, which remains in constant flux, presents its self as individuals come and go.
The work deals with this abstract notion; entities on the cusp of rejection or acceptance, as members of any group take up a new position within a mental or physical landscape.
