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

•

Inspiration

Bevshots

I felt inspired by the work from a company called BevShots, link > https://www.bevshots.com/ 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:

• 

  micro image of Irish Pale Lager

• 

  micro image of English Oatmeal Bear

• 

  micro image of Tequila

• 

  micro image of Dirty Martini

• 

  micro image of Vodka Tonic

• 

  micro image of Champagne

Eckhard Völcker also works with microscopic patterns, he uses natural sources to explore. link> http://www.wunderkanone.de/
