Maggi Hambling Donates Ltd Edition Print To raise Funds For Gaia Project
Everyone who purchases one of these original prints will also be listed in the film, ‘A Hitchhiker’s Guide To Gaia‘ credits as an associate producer.
Hambling, awarded the CBE in 2010 New Years Honours list, is well known for controversial public sculptures in memory of Oscar Wilde, in central London, and of Benjamin Britten, entitled ‘Scallop’, on the Aldeburgh beach, Suffolk. Her work is also in major museum collections in the UK and abroad.

Having been moved by a photograph in the press of a Scalloped Hammerhead Shark wounded by fishermen. Hambling painted her response: an image of profound intensity, beauty and sadness. The work is titled, ‘Young Scalloped hammerhead, Wounded’ and depicts the creature with traces of blood languishing beneath a breaking wave.
The painting has been carefully reproduced exactly as a giclee print in a limited edition of 250, signed and numbered. The proceeds from the sales will go towards completing the documentary about equally controversial scientist, 91 year old, Professor James Lovelock, creator of the now accepted Gaia Theory.
The film crew led by director Andy Worboys has already spent three days filming with Lovelock, exploring his ideas and looking at the reality of the effects of global heating and its’ impact on humans and all other species. The film will be a fresh and optimistic look at what needs to be done to ensure our survival, and also why it is important that we even try to survive. The film will take the viewer to the cutting edge of science where technologies, that could one day be the key to our survival, are being developed.
For more information on supporting this project by purchasing a Hambling print, please visit www.arts.co.uk. More information about the film can be viewed from here as well.
A giclee print is made with especially light fast inks which achieve all the richness of colour and detail in the original painting.

www.bbc.co.uk More about this episode: www.bbc.co.uk Great minds don’t think alike. In fact, offbeat thinking has led to some of the greatest scientific discoveries of our age. In the second of a three-part series uncovering the minds behind some of the greatest scientific discoveries of our age, James Lovelock explains how his maverick way of thinking led him not only to technical breakthroughs in atmospheric detection systems on Earth and Mars, but also to Gaia Theory – a new way of thinking about the Earth as a holistic, self-regulating system. He tells of his struggle against the scientific consensus of the day, the ridicule of his peers and his passionate belief that the mainstream scientific establishment stifles intellectual creativity.

I learned here that the standard theory of ice ages is: Sun gets to maximum distance from earth > slight reduction in earth’s temperature > CO2 absorbed > further slight reduction in temperature > more CO2 absorbed > etc.. Opposite positive feedback when sun gets closer.
But why might Gaia set up, as it were, this situation. What, as it were, is in it for Gaia. Any ideas?
Thanks for the interesting answer. Since you bring up: ‘It suggests that salts in the ocean are regulated by life. How? ‘ This is one of my favourite bits so:
Coral island. Makes a ring of coral. Sea water inside the ring evaporates, leaving rock salt. Re floods. Process repeats …..
Lovelock may have distanced himself from this argument. It strikes me as particularly pretty.
Edit: The constancy of the salinity of the sea over opocks seems a bit ‘designed’. I assume rock salt deposits are where the excess salt has been put(?) It must be fairly simple to come up with a mechanism consistant with Gaia consistent with their geological context. Easier to believe Gaia if you imagine yourself the size of the moon.
