I work as a painter, draughtsman, engineer, scientist, theorist, sculptor and architect, and I keep notebooks that join art and science across anatomy, astronomy, botany, cartography and painting.
The person outside the work — what they're learning and tinkering with.
My science works by observation: I try to understand a phenomenon by describing and depicting it in the utmost detail, rather than leading with experiments or theory.
I kept daily notes and drawings, about 13,000 pages fusing art and natural philosophy, mostly in mirror-image cursive; they now sit in the Codex Atlanticus, the Codex Leicester and major libraries.
