The text supplement for Growthrings is provided by the illustrations from Robert Fludd´s book about the Creation of the Universe "Utrisque Cosmi“ from 1617. The series is not completed and is missing the original conjunction of macrocosms and human microcosms. Instead, several drawings by E. H. Shepard from the book by A. A. Milne, "Winnie-the-Pooh,“ have been added, together with fragments of ancient and contemporary texts. These accompany the "cosmic-comic-strip" about Creation and at the same time correspond with the events of the symposium.
