A powerful and beautiful mask for a powerful cause. I have just found your blog, and look forward to seeing more of your art. The micro imaging sounds amazing, both as something to be doing and as an artistic product to be observed. Do you have any examples of this work? I love the idea of spending days absorbed in the space above the eyes of a fly… I know, wrong blog entry for this part of my comment — just getting the hang of this blogging thing.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I am looking for the old photographs of the micro landscapes. Good luck with your journey. I look forward to more of your comments.
