Spiders & Spirographs




Australian spiders spinning spirographs. Spiders symbolise great wisdom, mystery and creativity of the cosmos. Patient architects threading their webs, like the greco-roman Moirae (The Fates): 

Clotho (Spinner),
Lachess
(Alotter) and 
Atropos (Inflexible/Inevitable) 

...weaving the threads of life - industrious and deadly powerful. In the psyche everything is connected like web. Both seen and unseen. Pluck one thread and it resonates throughout the whole web. 

I coupled these 8-legged musings, with a plastic Spirograph from the 1980s, whirling fractals. Those infinite repeating patterns echoing the micro to the macro. A strand of code underlying the cosmos.
