1 pollen grain and 7 seeds
Ceramic sculptures inspired by the photographs of seeds and pollen taken under a microscope by photographer, artist and scientist Rob Kesseler.
These fascinating images reveal their incredible beauty - otherwise invisible to the human eye.
When I first saw the photographs I knew immediately that I
would recreate the seeds three-dimensionally.
So this is the result of nature inspiring first a photographer-artist-scientist, and then in turn a ceramist, to
portray them in a larger scale: 3D>>2D>>3D.
Of course my sculptures are not 3D-prints, but an
imaginative interpretation of the photographs. From a certain point in the process
I let go of the microscopic image and tried to develop coherence within the piece itself.
I hope you like the result as much as I enjoyed the process. To be continued... mfk.
