Under the Microscope
Under the Microscope is a series of quilts that engage my life-long interest in and study of biological science, and my decades-long career as a licensed registered dietitian.
Cellular Level 3: Microscopic Symphony of a Soybean Leaf Surface: In this textile art, I explore the intricate beauty and complexity of nature at a microscopic level. The quilt is inspired by the cellular structure of a soybean leaf as viewed through a stereomicroscope—a world often hidden from the naked eye. Each stitch, fabric piece, and color choice is a reflection of the delicate balance and intricate design that exists in even the smallest aspects of life. The quilt captures the rhythmic patterns and organic forms of the cells, emphasizing their interconnectedness and the vibrant energy within.
