Primary experiences describe the general shape of not zooming into a fractal, but rather, zooming out of a fractal, with original experiences feeling more distant, yet ever layered into the wider and wider experiences which come.” –Christopher Vita If experience is like zooming out from a fractal, then perhaps any body of knowledge offers a similar gathering momentum. It begins at the limbs with the collection of small bits of information. Those bits gather into larger and more solid structure.

As a student medical illustrator, I knew what I wanted to learn. I wanted to wrap my mind around the science and the drawing skills I would require in the future. I already had an undergraduate degree in zoology, and our courses in the Division of Biomedical Communications were to be shared with the medical students at the University of Toronto, so science was heavily on my mind.
I have a childhood image of my dad
which carries through all the years.
He’s standing at the patio door with his hands interlaced behind him
silently engaged with a tree (or it might be the moon).
Even when I was very young,
I kept at a distance, so as not to disturb the feeling he created there.

Hirschsprung’s Disease is a childhood gastrointestinal disorder which is often treated surgically. Surgical treatments do not always repair or correct the enterocolitis and debilitating constipation, but it does offer relief. The disease is named after Harold Hirschsprung, who was the first to describe th condition in 1886. The APHS, for whom I prepared these illustrations, no longer exists. So many distressed parents have written to me over the years, whose children have been diagnosed with this condition, and regarding this brochure, that I would like to provide the only resources I know for assistance and support for this condition:

What are the Common Patterns in Nature
Yes, the question is abstract and obscure. But I may as well admit it. At root, what I want to know most is, “What does the body tell us about the universe?”, and vice versa.
Personal Reasons for Writing and Posting my Work Here
What can we learn about the design of the universe, as we look to the body for clues? My question finds me at a somewhat broken place where I have observed a great deal of disconnectedness. But recently I am beginning to observe in those same patterns, a common architecture. I wonder if this sense is real. I want to find design parallels using science, art, philosophy and all the truth traditions as tools. I want my professional life and my personal life to lead me down this path of exploration.
