Shawn Sheehy looks at nature a bit differently than many of us. I asked him…
ArtPlantae:
I can’t help but think that you look at the world through the eyes of a paper engineer. When you look at plants, animals and landscapes, do you think pull strips, flaps and foundation shapes?
Shawn:
You are correct, but it’s the other way around: when I look at an interesting engineering structure, I think about what sorts of plants or animals I could build and move using that structure.
