The balance of scale

Last night I came across the work of Cynthia Greig.

I was drawn to the images that inverted scale like this one:

The image to the left is not listed on her main web site. But I find it to be one of the most interesting as it reflects ideas conveyed by someone else whose work I find significant, Michel Serres, and his mention of the determining power of our “looking apparatus”.  We develop all of our technologies, based on what we can see within our own bodies, (our medical technologies). And we understand our bodies, (our medical knowledge), based on what apparatus we have for viewing their details. We are always trying to find a way to achieve balance in scale; which of course, is always out of reach.
