Botanical Chords Art Exhibit
January 26, 2011
This article is more than old and may contain outdated information.
Terry Ashley has termed her art "chords" because they connect two separate images - one traditional plant photograph and one image taken at a cellular level.
To create the microscopic image, Ashley carefully peels a single layer of cells from a plant leaf, stem, or petal and photographs it under high magnification. She then places a picture of the plant's exterior on top of the picture of its cells, creating a textured, multi-layered photograph.
The exhibit can be viewed 9 a.m.-8 p.m. Mondays-Thursdays and 8 a.m.-4 p.m. Fridays, Jan. 27-April 5, at the Perry Center for Emerging Technologies, 14101 NW US Highway 441, Alachua. There's an opening reception 3-4:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 27. For more information and directions call 352-381-3750.
