Microscopic photos by Rob Kesseler

Extending the long and illustrious history of artists working with flowers and plants, Phytopia reveals a hidden world lying beyond the scope of the human eye. Working in the liminal territory between Art and Science, this extensive collection of images is derived from plant samples; pollen, seeds, fruit and leaves, creating images that lie somewhere between science and symbolism, in which the many complexities of representing plants are concentrated into mesmeric visual statements.
