Cosmos: A World of Minutiae

Recently I discovered mold and have been encouraging fruits and vegetables to decay in petri dishes. I use macro photography to find imagery in the petri dishes that is abstract but still organic. I am continually amazed by the world of images that can be found when looking at minute details of anything organic. I often find parallels that reveal connections between all forms of nature from the body to outer space to underwater. As I begin to process my photographs of mold, I modify the images, combining portions of them in a way similar to collage or painting. The images are of nature but modified, as with a painting, not to document but to represent a feeling.
