Macro Sculpture

Macrosculptures balance science with art and abstraction with realism.  These large wall-hanging sculptures present the viewer with colors and structures that are not readily discernible to the human eye.  As the viewer's perspective shifts, the barbules conceal or reveal different colors and shapes throughout the work.  Hand-drawn specimen tags are recreated on the back of each work, referencing the source that inspired each piece- its end-of-life history, the collector, and the collection.  While the backs of the macrosculptures express human possession of nature, the fronts question familiarity with nature.
