Microaquea No 2 ed 2/3 by Betsy Stewart, hand-embellished mono print with acrylic, ink and Mylar. "Using biomorphic images, my work examines the microscopic, mutually dependent life systems found in water that are ever increasingly disappearing. By giving these images a presence I speak to our fragile position in the cosmos. Each work becomes a manifesto of hope in a time where the natural world is increasingly fleeting and species at a rapid rate are becoming extinct. These images explore the regenerative symmetry inherent to the morphing of the natural world. Many of my works not only examine the micro elements of the environment but also in unison explore the exploding and radiating energy of our expanding universe that highlights the entwined nature of the all creatures. The viewer is encouraged to consider the unseen minutiae that saturate our micro/macro universe and the ever present fragility of these endangered organisms."
