Some very intense images here paired with quotations from the book. And then there's this one on the mesh. And thanks for taking me back to the floating islands of Uros in Lake Titicaca, which I visited about 20 years ago.

We would argue (as Morton and others do) that ecology is a keystone concept of the present, and as such is in need of significant unpacking. Ecology is used everywhere for any number of political, social, scientific and design agendas (witness the current nomenclature of sustainability). A good question is what currently isn’t defined along ecological descriptions? How ‘nature’ or ‘ecology’ is defined or imaged is critical to how it is engaged and manipulated. We are currently particularly active in working out what the mesh is – a process that always will be inherently provisional and incomplete, yet is so interesting and revelatory in and of itself as departure point of design speculation.
