art can function as a portal to take you
to a variety of places but in the case
of the art that I do it usually has
something to do with taking you back in
time to look at these early ancestors
lacking a time machine which I dearly
wish I had I wanted these paintings and
sculpture to be able to sort of function
as that kind of portal and to take
people to a different time and have them
for a moment just be able to imagine
this this creature alive
if you’re curious at all about what it
means to be human then you’ve got to be
curious about how it got to be that way
I think it’s inconceivable almost to not
be not be curious about how you know
what we are exactly what what kind of a
phenomenon do we represent human
evolution as it turns out is not a
matter of everything we think of as
human slowly evolving in tandem that
here we are tada modern humans it’s more
of a mosaic affair with some things
really evolving early and some things
very late so if you look at a particular
ancestor in the lineup one ancestor will
have a different adaptive story a
different piece of the human puzzle that
it added let’s say then then a later
ancestor
and of course their story is our story
it’s one thing to to study the bones of
these creatures and be able to make
inferences about how they lived but it
takes you to a completely further place
to actually build a face and have
something that looks like a real being a
living breathing being to represent
these things and I think it just helps
people go all the way there in thinking
of them as living being
I’ll check Cisco human imagination is
really part of our creativity and as a
species we became very adept at
imagining Plan B and Plan C so our
options aren’t constrained to just one
path that may fail so that creativity
arose as a survival mechanism I think
and only later late in human history did
it start blossoming in forms like art
and music the evolution of humans the
arrival of humans on the planet emerges
as a really unique and fantastic event
and the human story is really nothing
short of the story of a little corner of
the universe becoming aware of itself
