Grist:
Grist is loosely based upon the similarities
between animal and human behaviour in
flawed environments.
Using the biblical story of Cain & Abel, the
project proposes that a complex mixture of
inheritance, circumstance and fate determine
an individual's life course.
Based on an assumption that Adam and Eve's
post-expulsion environment could be deemed
inferior, flawed, or faulty, Grist suggests
that this environment transforms desire,
which in turn transforms environment...
creating a cyclical network of self made
and innate obstacles.
