Experiments

I decided to map patterns with a microscope myself. I started taking random pieces of material around me to put under my microscope. I realised that my microscope was not good enough to map most objects on the micro level I intended to. After trying everything around me I started using the microscope on myself, I realised then that the microscope worked very well on my own face and hands. The patterns I saw through the microscope were suprising, and then I realised that if i wanted to document patterns of something I see regularly but not in that way, that it would have to be myself.

The first results of the microscope on myself:

Mouth
Cheeck
Eye
Hair
Thumb
Knuckle
Arm
Wimpers

The microscope I use is from National Geographic and goes up to 350x zoom.

Their art is focused on the microscopic patterns created by alcohol. Finding patterns that exist but are not available to the human eye interest me.
These are a few examples of their work:
