Image for Intelligent Sentient?

Intelligent Sentient?

See all formats and editions

Intelligent Sentient feels like an artefact from another time - a lost feature in OMNI magazine or the album booklet for a late 1970s Hawkwind record or, perhaps, a print version of Koyaanisqatsi.

Beautiful, detailed, filigreed drawings fold in on themselves and blossom out at the reader as time speeds up and contracts.

A loose story is told - one that involves a society of giant people, strange art, and inexplicable scientific experiments utilising non-existent technology.

Factories and treehouses teem with life, and the city nestles up against a landscape filled with dinosaurs, apes, and dragonflies living peacefully side by side. Intelligent Sentient is a series of images that tie together not in narrative but in progressing theme - the takeaway is that everything is connected.

The drawings contain the fine detail of a watchmaker and the visual scope of a social reform muralist.

This book is meant to be read forward and back and returned to and treated like a mystical text.
