Ten artists are gathering to create works of art that have been inspired by the stunning micro photography from the book ‘Seeds, Time Capsules of Life’. By Rob Kesseler and Wolfgang Stuppy. The journey into this tiny world explodes with the excitement of life’s beginnings, packed with a complete genetic code to produce a new plant. We, as artists explore their powerful structure in the natural world. There will also be an educational and interactive component of ‘seed’ education for the community. The purpose of this show is to illuminate the essential importance and beauty of the seed. The intent behind this exhibit can be summed up in the words of Professor Sir Peter Crane, Director of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, England;

“The creative partnership between artists and scientists stimulates us to want to know more about seeds and how they work.… it also encourages us to see the glory of nature and to do what we can to ensure it’s survival into the future.”
