Abstract: The art for my project revolves around the idea of biomimicry. I wanted to show how as mankind progresses technologically, we do not think about nature or what the environment has to do with the process of creating new things. To most, progression is thought of as mankind moving away from nature, relying only on themselves to survive. The thought of living in harmony with our surroundings evokes thoughts of cavemen and early civilizations. However, engineers are starting to look to nature for inspiration on how to make technology better. So, through the use of, color, pattern, scale, and representational imagery I discuss the back and forth of man wanting to progress, but by going back to nature to do so.
