Leah Evans' textile artwork 14 Jul 2008

Leah Evans creates textile artwork that combines aerial photography, maps and satellite imagery with the minute systems of the microbial world:

"I enjoy the play in scale between magnified microbial life forms and remote sensing images of huge tracts of land. Both scales deal with the translation of scientific information into a visual form. At times these separate bodies of work merge. The overlap is seen in vessel-like arteries of water, tundra pools that look cellular, and microbes that swim through topographic lines."

Amazing stuff!

Wow! Love how the stitching gives the map a more tactile quality. Reminds me of those maps for blind people.
