The central focus of the work, a large organic spheroid creature, is a mainly biological entity, but has cube-like trees growing on its back. \u00a0These cubes may have had a distant technological origin, or might represent some kind of mimetic developmental process. This creature in this drawing has both plant-like and animal-like components, thus the label \u201cPlantimal\u201d.\u00a0 \u00a0The background is taken from a view of hills and mountains just south of Kitt Peak in Arizona.\n\u003C\/div\u003E","settings":null},{"command":"insert","method":"replaceWith","selector":".image-artist-title-2186","data":"\u003Ch3 class=\u0022image-artist-title-2186\u0022\u003EPlantimal 4: Surreal Evolution Series\u003C\/h3\u003E","settings":null}]
