journal of fine art processes

micronicle.org is a working journal: quiet, deliberate, yet organically provisional in nature. This workspace is a reflection, observation, and rationale of the processes that inform micronicle’s fine art practice. The material presented here is not promotional, instructional, or conclusive, but forms part of an ongoing inquiry.

micronicle’s journal is probing, magnifying the science and the art of looking closely, often microscopically, yet without assuming certainty or fixed interpretation. The focus is not on refuting biological theory or advancing visual explanation, but on slowing perception, questioning frames of reference, and resisting premature belief in favour of knowing.

Through written study notes and visuals, micronicle explores scale, ambiguity, and the tension between scientific language and painterly responses. These investigations are not illustrations of science, but records of attention, where close looking destabilises fact and opens space for abstraction, doubt, and response.

Entries appear irregularly, as processes develop. Some lines of inquiry will inform finished paintings; others may remain unresolved. This journal documents that uneven terrain.
