I was just listening to something on the tv while I was cooking dinner and the segment was about this woman Catherine Nelson. I decided to check out some of her work and she's pretty incredible. Each piece of work is made up of hundreds of photographs.

Very intriguing images! Very organic and most of
The ones in the first link seem very feminine to me.
They resemble photos of mammalian ova IMO.

The word GAIA comes to my mind too. The circular
image has a strong Jungian flavor too. (like a Mandala)

Thanks for posting, Lara.

So Coooool! Thanks Lara

Glad you liked them. I want to see an exhibition. I noticed the sizes of them are pretty large e.g. 1.5 metres.

Interesting what you have said about the circular images mrsD.

My first thought was the lens of a camera and she's built the worlds into that circular view that is so familiar to her (fish swimming by for example) and then added layer upon layer and then the world she sees through the lens expands way past the circumference of the lens circle with the landscape and that is layered as well. (the physical shape of a lens I mean rather than the rectangle that is viewed through the actual lens).

On the snippet of the tv show that I did get to see, she was zipping around in some mossy area in a forest and just taking photo after photo after photo. She'd take a photo of something that looked quite insignificant to me, but she had a plan for it as one of her layers I suppose.

I couldn't get enough of them they were so interesting to me.
