Looking in | looking out dances across the hillside like a self contained forest, body, cell… we see its elements signalling between each other making connections between those elements to create a whole… a whole that is being influenced by outside forces that influence – gravity, a force that we all live with — shapes the parabolic curves of the suspended cables… creating a whole within the all, as it stands within and draws in the environment around it.

As we walk towards the ‘cell /body /forest’ of the work, as we come to engage more closely with the individual elements, between and among the parts... the connections shift from purely visual to somatic... But this is not in isolation, our eyes and body pass messages to our brain as they experience the whole of the surrounding environment tumbled with the memories held in our cells, influencing how we react to the work and the world.

The work’s title speaks of the dual activities that takes place between organisms — each looking inside, caring for its own body/its own internal system while at the same time looking out to signal to and connect with other organisms.
