I enjoyed the movie, I did let out an audible snort at the unbalanced centrifuge scene! Total immersion killer.

That's fantastic, where was this one collected?

Erick James Artist Biography As a biologist and artist my pieces convey the wonders of the natural world. I have a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree from the University of British Columbia and an Honours Metal Certificate from the Kootenay School of the Arts at Selkirk College. I have worked and studied in labs for more than 20 years and still find wonder there. It is this curiosity and excitement for the natural world that I bring to my art. In larger than life metal microbes, metal origami birds, scanning electron micrographs in gilded frames, and framed fixed specimen slides. The invisible are made visible, the often seen are reexamined. Humboldt Squid (Dosidicus gigas), also referred to as diablo rojo or Red Devil. They are members of the flying squid family and will fly out of the water to escape predators. This one is aptly made from scrap aluminium aircraft parts. Oil Furnace Nautilus This sculpture was fabricated out of a 1950s oil burning furnace. It retains the original green colour and the Airco logo was fashioned into its eyes. Cameroceras is an extinct cephalopod genus related to the pearly nautilus. This is a baby. Fossilized shells have been found that are 2 metres long, putting the total length to 4 metres! This sculpture is made from aircraft aluminium. Road Sign Nautilus is made from a decommissioned road sign found at a local scrap yard.

Very excited to have my work in the Peninsula Gallery located in Sidney, BC.

Special thanks to Oak Bay Pharmasave (@oakbaypharmasave) for sponsoring me and Oak Bay Recreation (@oakbay_prc) for providing such an amazing venue for artists. I am so thankful.

My Oak Bay Arts Alive 2025 sculpture: Baba Yaga Little Free Library. I plan to stock it with banned books, stop by and find something they don't want you to read! It is in Oak Bay at the corner of Newport Avenue and Windsor Road.

The first episode was fantastic, Levar Burton Reads got me through the pandemic, Storytime will get us through the current dystopia. Thank you.

Thank you!

Would appreciate a RT from the scientists for this one! We have 665 scientists in the spring database and I want to get us to about 1000 before we set the teachers loose on the database for January matches.

“Some of the water placed in a glass was of a pale reddish tint; examined under a microscope, was seen to swarm with minute animalcula darting about, and often exploding. Their shape is oval, and contracted in the middle by a ring of vibrating curved ciliæ.” Darwin 1839. The Voyage of the Beagle.
