Art Exhibitions at the Arboretum
An exhibition of mixed media
Jan 3 - Feb 27 2019 | Erica Lohan
8 AM - 4 PM (M - F) | Frances Plecker Education Center
This series, entitled Plant Cellular Patterns, is an extension of artist Erica Lohan’s ongoing study of the patterns inherent in natural life forms. She examines, arranges, and records the spectacular forms that emerge under a microscope, the optical detail of which easily meshes into abstract patterns.
Her exploration on the subject began years ago during a Biology for Gardeners course. Since then, she has continued her research at Open Labs in Charlottesville, VA utilizing electron microscope photos to provide even more nuance. Enamored with the square format, Erica’s work is created on clayboard panels using graphite and acrylic washes.
“I hope that in some way recording in detail the beauty and diversity of nature will inspire a sense of gratitude and a need for protection in those who view this work.”
