Mosquito Larvae II
2001
Kidner, Michael
In earlier work Michael Kidner chose the pentagon as the basic structure because, unlike the square, it is constitutionally unstable and liable to take you to the brink of visual anarchy. But he also uses it to prefigure organic and sub-organic forms that have a place, however lowly and degraded, in the human habitat: dynamic forms such as swimming mosquito larvae and whirling particles of dust.
