My fascination with the microscopic biological world developed in the late 90’s when I removed the lens from my large format view camera and replaced it with a child’s microscope. This process created the possibilities to photograph multicellular life forms onto large format film. The photographic prints from these negatives transformed the small details of these forms into something monumental and symbolic. This process allowed me to create photographs from the perspective of an imaginary insect. The minute details of nature became larger than life, a whimsical profound new universe.
