Ideas for Ecology Project

     Our next project is ecology. We were given the assignment to create a piece that examines nature, or how organism interact in their environment.The project should be presented in a series of around 20 photographs.

1. Photographs of earth to form an other worldly experience. I really am into ecology of other worlds in video games, books, and movies, so I began rolling this idea around in my head. The goal would be to compile a series of pictures that accentuate the small and beautiful eccentricities of earth we often over look. these features of our planet can seem to be other worldly or fantasy-based at times.

2. Photographs of plants and animals taking advantage of urban environments. For this idea I thought it could be fun to go down town, walk around, and find examples of plants, animals, and humans alike interacting with man-made structures. This is risky however. If I couldn't find interesting subjects withing my restricted travel-area, this would make a boring collection.

3. Organic Sculpture. For this I would create a non-objective sculpture using natural material. I started thinking about this after some reading on Andy Goldsworthy.
