There were people, he thought, whose umbilicus had never been cut. They had never been weaned from the universe.
- Ursula K Le Guin, The Dispossessed
soooo recently i read The Dispossessed and became absolutely obsessed with the way the book merges astrophysics and human philosophy. that quote just stuck in my head, and became the inspiration for this series of monoprints, which i've titled "The Umbilicus of the Universe". monoprinting is a lot of fun and i loved making getting emotional about humanity and space and Ursula K Le Guin!
