“Man’s conquest of Nature turns out, in the moment of its consummation, to be Nature’s conquest of Man.”
—C.S. Lewis, Abolition of Man
The artworks shown here are by multiple artists working between 1901 and 1976.
From a series of microscope images exploring the surface beauty of insects and animals (butterfly wing scales, beetles’ forewings) and micro crystals.
A series of computerized machine embroidered doilies mounted on black velvet. The design of each doily is based on a different viral structure.
A look into the bustling society of a hive full of honeybees.
All of my work reflects my fascination with natural patterns and texture. I am interested in the natural cycles that are part of life. The subject matter is ordinary but transformed, isolated from its usual setting and viewed in the context of the universal forces of generation, growth and decay.
The photograph was taken on the streets of Bangkok. I was stunned by these plastic Buddhist monks sitting in a shop window. The statues are of famous Thai monks and are rendered with remarkable realism.
