A Protonema is a thread-like chain of cells that forms the earliest stage of development of the gametophyte in the life cycle of mosses.

When I was a child my father bought me a microscope and we walked down to the local pond where he put pond water and little green algae on the little glass slides. As I peered into the lens, a mysterious new world was opened up to me! My work in in these pieces represents my rediscovery of the hidden worlds I found by the water’s edge so many years ago.

Some memories stay with us forever.

36 x 36 x 2.5 Framed.

I used Ink, and acrylics to recreate the images in my memory. This stunning piece is framed in a light wood.
