The electroliquid quote again: If we do discover a complete variation throughout the world, even the slightest; then we ordinary people, silently and insensibly working, wherever and whenever opportunity offers, would know the mind of God in relation to the organic and inorganic conditions of life.


Hawking's lab in foreground. Darwin's in background. Meeting place is between the two labs, in a valley. The two labs contrast from each other but finely balance each other across the terrain- representing the relationship between "we ordinary people" and "the mind of God" which may or may not govern "the conditions of life".

Below: opposite view


Below: the meeting place from Darwin's side of the landscape- in the background is Hawking's.

Below: standing in the meeting place, which takes advantage of lighting to create an inspiring and other-wordly atmosphere and emphasise the idea that humans are governed by the rules of the universe.


Below: View of Hawkings lab from the meeting place/valley way. The terrain beyond Hawkings lab contrasts to that on Darwin's side- it is relatively flat and open, like the universe. To reach Hawking's lab from here you must jump, as if you were leaping into another world and beyond our everyday physical environment.

  1. space between/whether there is a prism connecting hawking's lab and the meeting point is a little unclear - maybe would have been clearer with a top or side view?

    the fact that the valley creates a cave-like meeting place is interesting - lighting is very well used in images 3 and 4. i can easily visualise it as a space for the scientists to exchange ideas.
