THE LIFE OF CELLS: A Triptych Study | Wesley Usher

“To develop a complete mind: Study the science of art; Study the art of science. Learn how to see. Realize that everything connects to everything else.” ― Leonardo da Vinci. During research this fall, I found an animated slide of iris cells (Iris germanica) in motion. These three small studies are my response to the wonder those cells inspired.
