Microscopic Drawings

To do these pieces I lay various ink washes on seperate layers of clear mylar. I then use an x-acto knife to scrap in the lines. All this is done with the visual aid of a 20x stereomicroscope.  The microscope allows the line to be something that exist in a liminal state. A state which cannot be completely understood first hand but exist to us still in physical space.  The microscope allows me to work in this confounding scale. Technology allows us to view these works despite the limitations of our eyes but technology can not understand the work for us.  Telling us that understanding is still a completely human experience.
