For Luminescent Forms: Art Under the Microscope, artist and engineer Roland Verreet followed in a tradition practised by nineteenth-century naturalists. Painstakingly gathering samples of foraminifera (Latin for ‘hole bearers’) — tiny single-celled organisms whose skeletons are found in sand and are in abundance in Cayman — Verreet studied these intricate structures under a microscope and transformed them into works of art. Magnified hundreds of times, these images draw attention to the remarkable beauty and symmetry found in our natural environment.
Drawing on the anthropomorphic shapes of the foraminifera, Caymanian artist Davin Ebanks created a new series of sculptural forms in response to Verreet’s work. Viewed together, their works provided a bridge between science and art, a connection that often remains elusive.
