Hi Susan,
Your discovery reminded me of Lenka Suchanekâs lace pieces inspired by microscopic images of cell structures. They were part of the Love Lace exhibition at the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney. She called her collection of pieces, Are we made of lace? They can still be seen at: http://www.powerhousemuseum.com/lovelace/index.php/country/canada/are-we-made-of-lace Iâm anxious to see how your experiment develops. Vicki in Maryland, USA Hello All! As some of you know, I was lucky enough to get a seat in Jane Atkinson's IOLI class in Iowa. In her pre-event notes, she asked us to bring inspirational materials to class. My plan was to take the April issue of "Flowers" magazine in which there was an article about X-ray floral photography. The accompanying photos are stunning as the underlying structure of the flowers are revealed. Some pictures are black & white, others are color manipulated, almost kaleidoscopic. Several artists were featured, notably Hugh Turvey. I was just sitting here, minding my own business, when I looked at the icons on my iPad. Being tech challenged, naturally I have no idea what most of them mean or do, but I touched Photo Booth. OMG!!! X-ray, kaleidoscope & thermal camera reached out to grab me. These are special effects (there are others) that may be applied to any picture I take. A photo of the eaves of my house turned into a white & tan geometric design. X-ray & therma! l photos of plant materials resulted in Turvey-esque pictures. So what started out as an inspirational magazine article is now a power in my own hands. If you who want to "do your own thing" with form & color, you may wish to explore this interesting feature of your Apple device. Having heard Sandi Woods' herring story (for Fishies on Dishies), I just had to share this! I can hardly wait to see what sort of lace develops from this experiment.
