The idea behind this series was inspired by ecological succession, a natural sequential process in which there is a gradual supplanting of one community of life forms by another, each stage building upon the previous stage.

This first final work is a large painting made up of twenty 12"x12" panels. The process of creating each new work evolved from the previous work. The first panel was the seed for the whole series, with each new panel unfolding from an edge of the previous panel, yet with the freedom for each new panel to go in a different direction than the one before.

Many of the individual panels in this series were inspired by patterns of different scales in the natural world – from molecules to ice sheets to nebulae.
