Pollen Spores and Asteroids

These images of pollen spores, bacteria, coral, shells and planetesimals are part of my source material for the textile and ceramic sculptures I am currently working on . . .










Scanning electron microscope image of pollen grains from a variety of common plants: sunflower (Helianthus annuus), morning glory (Ipomoea purpurea), prairie hollyhock (Sidalcea malviflora), oriental lily (Lilium auratum), evening primrose (Oenothera fruticosa), and castor bean (Ricinus communis).
