Description
I came across a good deal of blank microscope slides, and spent a summer painting on them from a book called “Pollen from Canadian Honey Bees.” I was homesick for Ontario wile living in Florida. The book was filled with detailed photographs taken with a microscope to help farmers understand what flowers their bees had been visiting.
This painting was done with oil paint, which I rarely use anymore. While the photos were black and white I used a honey inspired palette.
Art has been historically used as a tool for communication. In a similar manner to the way that art was used in the churches, my drawings and paintings attempt to poetically illustrate science’s investigations of the symbiotic interrelationships of our macrocosm.
