Art and the Microscope

Plants, insects and industrial materials are my sources. I make these photographic images with the aid of a powerful electron microscope.
The giclee prints are on high quality printmaking paper.
Merging the boundaries of art and science,
my images hope to convey the beauty, intricacy and mystery of the world around us.

This is an image of the responsive trigger hair of a Venus Flytrap.
At right, from top to bottom, are close looks at the plants dodder, salvinia and tillandsia (spanish moss). Click on these images for larger view. Or visit the portfolio links.
