COLONIES

The Colonies series was a collaboration with artist Vik Muniz where we developed techniques to pattern really small and intricate patterns out of living, biological materials like bacteria and cells.  These images were photographed on a microscope and made into wall-sized prints.  

The Colonies series was profiled by The Creators Project and also featured as part of the “Art of Saving a Life” campaign from the Gates Foundation, to raise awareness about vaccination. This work was featured in the New York Times, New York Times, and Wall Street Journal.
