Il faut savoir humer l' humus humide avec humilitie pour que lhumanite seveille en vous". (It is necessary to smell the humid compost with humility so that humanity awakens in you.). Claude Gudin, Poet.

- thoughts on my work by Sylvia Nofsinger, Designer. 2002.

......"primitive state not yet living, a fossilized mutant, a life form in the early stages impregnated by toxins, a seedling, still inanimate and not yet breathing or taking on the life of its living human host...cold, still identifiable as an alien entity cohabitating in one with a human one, yet a beginning in the stage of osmosis....

Oil and Blood - it breaths, it is living, the alien toxins have transfused into the bloodline of their human host, resulting in a painful transformation/mutation taking place in the root of eaches genetic code...a survival of the fittest...both the toxin and the life form fight off each others chemicals in this cohabitation. They are screaming, bleeding, mutating and becoming one...this change starts at the cellular level and boils into a new life form...a mutant that grew out of toxins and the life force that created them....now the two entities are cobreeding and eaches genetic makeup is boiling as it undergoes this forced osmosis...the fossil fuel that was once cold and "dead" now bleeds and breaths, the life force that hosted it has become in itself mechanical, resulting in a borg state".
