Ernst Haeckel (1834-1919) a biologist and philosopher, was an early exponent of Darwinism. He published a series of renderings illustrating all sorts of organic and inorganic subjects, from prehistoric times to the present. I have chosen 6 of his circular images to attempt to translate into collagraph plates. I will of course have to simplify most of them and may not get as far a making all six, but it's quite an appealing project, given that I now have 10 professionally cut 15 cm cardboard circles.

Wow - what a rich source of designs! Open to all kinds of interpretations too - I shall follow with interest ;-)
I hope that I manage to produce something of interest from the plates Gill!
