Field Notes

Field Notes is an ongoing journal documenting the evolution of Field Guide for Alien Landscapes.

The Usual Suspects

Scream bubbles. Googly eyes. A few hundred of the eight billion genies. Red-and-white polka dots, a passing nod to Kusama's endless orbs. Infinity funfetti. Blips. Weird fishes. Star trails. They are tiny, improbable creatures. The usual suspects. Their names haven't been invented yet. These are, a few of my favourite things. Some of these wee...
