In 2004, at the Australian Antarctic Division, I saw through a trawling camera's eye, unknown forms that live on the sea floor around Heard Island.
The Australian icebreaker, Aurora Australis, had just returned from a voyage around Heard Island.
The ship had a camera attached to its hull to film the ocean floor.
This had not been done before.
With pencil in hand I watched the film, and drew for several hours.
I saw some creatures unknown to the scientists, species yet to be named.
This spiral was drawn with pencil on paper, while driving by car with my partner through the Salisbury Plains in England. It resembles as a kind of seismograph. It evokes feelings of being touched by that place, and memoring of walking around its stone circles.
In the animation, the spiral connects to the Antarctica sea floor. The spiral has been used as a symbol since prehistoric times to represent life forces and transformations within the natural world.
