Ernesto Caivano's pencil and ink drawings make me think of classic botanical renderings meant to deconstruct simple biological systems. And I suppose they are - except these systems reside only in Caivano's alternate world. These drawings, from a suite called "Floral Veins and Conduits" (2006), are barely 7"X10," but loaded with references to global warming, the nature/technology chasm and natural selection gone awry.
