The Miniscule and Monumental strain of artwork stems from the joy of being immersed in landscape. Contributing
to this sense of joy is an awareness of the wonderful diversity and uniqueness of
organisms in a landscape and a realization of the remarkable interconnection among organisms,
including myself. Visual evidence of this interconnection is contained in the repeated patterns
discernable in both microscopic and macroscopic imagery. Aesthetically and conceptually, I am
interested in an image that offers slippage between the macro and the micro. For example, the
structures of plant cells bear semblance to the cells of a honeycomb. The fact that one image
can link many different entities together, like two mirrors reflecting onto each other, brings
my mind to the profound and infinite. Art within the Miniscule and Monumental series stimulates the
mind to stretch and to see beyond the apparent constituents of tissue.
