Microscopic Landscapes

This body of work aims to create a visual language through biomimicry at the microscopic scale.  In each piece that I create, the individual elements react with one another; patterns and relationships begin to develop and a microscopic landscape is formed.

I start all of these pieces with some type of meditative line, and build off of that, creating relationships between the visual elements as the piece develops.  The materials that I tend to use are: illustration markers, watercolor markers, watercolor, India ink, acrylic ink, and archival waterproof pens.

These pieces have a large experimental element to them, and have grown out of years of working and playing with both line and shape, while creating different textures and patterns.  One of my aspirations with this work is to play with the microscopic, macroscopic, and telescopic scales. With the ambiguity of scale, the hope is for the viewer not only to see the piece as a whole, but to view the movement and growth in the work as well.
