nothing with skin is blindbiocentrism in recent work by Kai Lossgott"During a long period of illness in which I could not leave the house, I began to intuit how keenly our bodily processes are aligned to the coming and going of the sun, to subtle rhythms which depend entirely on the time of day. I began to see myself as I had previously only regarded plants.The environmental philosophy of Deep Ecology 'directs us to develop our own sense of self ... until we realise through deepening ecological sensibilities that each of us forms a union with the natural world, and that protection of the natural world is protection of ourselves' (Alan Drengston 'The Deep Ecology Movement', 1995).I attempt to investigate the links between patterns in nature and the language patterns of the human species, viewing cultivation, and its opposite, culling, as integral semantic processes learnt from the culture of keeping plants. I suspect that on a cellular level our bodies recall the evolutionary stage when we were plants, and that this influences our perception of the world in ways we are not aware of."Kai Lossgott, April 2008
