“Born from the ancient physics of the
universe, life has evolved through its folly of generations to produce forms
with specific and tangible functions at every conceivable scale. All of our
love, fear, passion, and pain may be represented by certain archetypes in
nature, and are expressed in our inventions. Beauty, creation, death and decay,
all concepts ingrained in our primal psychology are inherent to our individual
and collective survival.”
Evan Kolker was born in 1982 in
