Title: Petri Dish or Planet #3
Artist: Carol Chapel
Medium: Collagraph
Price: $85
Size: 9" x 9" framed
When I was very young, three or four years old. Three, I’m thinking. I had an “understanding” (I shy away from saying vision, but at that age I’m sure I was more visual than literate) that everything was connected. More than connected. The same, really. That I was a part of it all. In addition I didn’t understand why everyone didn’t see this. It seemed so simple. Fast forward all these years. Peering into a microscope is fascinating. What I see through that lens and what I see in a telescope appear, if not the same, at least closely related. Neither of them is visible to my naked eye. When I do see them a whole world is made visible. In Nature patterns are repeated and repeated with variations. Systems work. They work in ALL situations. Microscope. Telescope. Naked eye. Intertwined. More than connected. The same, really.The three year old me was right. Painter/printmaker with a detour into sign painting. Back to painting and making prints. I'm in the studio everyday, but some of them are spent writing things like this.
