also, my hair is hilarious in that first picture.
aalso. if you're interested, here's a paragraph from jolene's website talking about this work:
Inspired by the seemingly limitless possibilities and co-operative relationships within animal and plant life, Sensory Life, Infinite World, is a glimpse into a conceptual and supportive ecosystem that functions with harmony, co-existence and fluid interchange. The viewer is welcomed into an imagined utopia where life is poetically lived by invented organisms without the framing of our regulated time, the dominant pull of gravity or the constant weight today’s modern society. An invitation to view and appreciate a transformation of the human form as it reveals a pure and intuitive intelligence while accepting a ripple effect felt through embracing relationships and foreign matter.
in other words, it's an imaginative little show. the beginning is like watching an aquarium... or a screen saver. everyone doing their own thing. harmonious. no judgement. happy little animals going about their activities. and then society evolves, i guess... things change. there's the addition of humour, and also of judgement.
i feel like i'm butchering this synopsis because it's hard to explain without it sounding either cliched or vague... but that gives you an idea, at least.
maybe i'll explain more later
goodnight!
