the Bubbles and Ernst Haeckel

There’s been a comment of the “Haeckelian aspect” of my work under Timo’s entry at the Touch blog. A name previously unfamiliar to me, here is briefly what I found on Ernst Haeckel. He was a German biologist, naturalist, philosopher, physician, professor and artist, who lived between 1834 – 1919. The inventor of “Kunstformen der Natur” (“Artforms of Nature”), his charts are still used in education.
The relevance to my project I believe comes with the fact that he described and named hypothetical ancestral microorganisms that have yet to be found.

Haeckels work is amazing, and I am most flattered at there being drawn any parallel between his work and mine.
