Cells moving under the microscope

Not sure what cells these are but I am interested in the movement and interaction between them, the dividing of cells and the integration to the new cells within the group.

Huge flocks of starlings have been spotted flying in synchronised formation in Israel.

Each bird is a separate being but their ability to work together as a group in order to communicate about food and danger is something incredible. Natural choreography working as one, the fluid movements seem so effortless and engaged.

Working in the multiple, a sense of togetherness and interaction.

Sense of growth and interaction. Very cellular and biological.

Each dish portrays different character. Clever use of colour and pattern

Idea of being surrounded by multiples - can look at it from outside and inside. How much difference does this make to the viewer..?

Love the sense of interaction and use of negative space between individuals. Separate entities, different sizes working together to make a whole. Lovely use of colour; playful but could come across too ‘funky’.

Making a whole image from individual circles. Negative space used to accentuate detail, especially in wings.

Rupert Newman

looks like a jungle scene. Mix of natural and striking colours. Individual elements creating pattern as apposed to an actual image of something.

This is going to be something i will need to achieve i think; the use of multiples to create pattern.

Like russian dolls that fit inside one another, the interaction is appealing. Beautiful use of decreasing size. Like they are all one of the same.
