Vital Signs: New Media from the Permanent Collection (2010-2011)
In Creep (2004), Gail Wight used a time-lapse video of dyed slime mold to call attention to the similarities that connect the earth’s diverse life forms. Even in the seemingly simple structure of the dyed mold, Wight sees sea coral and flower buds or veins and leaf patterns in their inner structure. Using her ability to find beauty in what might be considered unsettling, Wight questions the view that humans are the most significant species on the planet. In Creep, she has given importance to organisms that, although considered by some to be the evolutionary ancestors of humans, are rarely considered, let alone given stature.
