ARTIST-SCIENTIST STATEMENT
In "Wheatfield at Day," the "sky" includes mallomonas (scaled, single-celled flagellates). The "wheat" is a rendered type of cyanobacteria, or blue-green algae.
"Moonview #1" includes a lunar surface photograph from Apollo 15 in 1971. The "stars" are halobacteria, which are common to wet, salty environments and typically red. The "orb" is a rendering of a cystic, diseased ovary. (Digital photograph taken during LSH, or laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy.)
In "Moonview #2" another "planet" rises above the lunar horizon. This time, it is a rendering from the MRI of a human brain exhibiting anomalies after grand mal seizures and hypertensive encephalopathy.
