Liquid — Crystal
art @ IIT will present an art exhibit titled "Liquid — Crystal"
opening January 17, 2005, with a reception held on Wednesday January 26th 5:30-8:30 pm, closing on February 26th. The focus of this exhibit will be to look at the not so common patterns formed by some common substances.
Working with liquids is Stuart Larson from Texas, an assistant
professor in graphics design at the University of Houston. Larson is
a photographer who now uses a digital scanner to capture a variety of liquids in the search for patterns, texture, and flow. These images exhibit strong shapes and the illusion of forms that liquids are normally not associated with.
Mark Eisenhauer, a local independent photographer, uses chemical
crystals as his subjects. Using the same methods that geologists and chemists use to study rocks, photomicrography, he attempts to find the hidden structures in very complex substances. Using polarized light he is able to uncover colors in the crystals that are not visible to the naked eye.
Both of these artists attempt to express the beauty they see when
their view is focused on subjects that seem to be simple but capable
of exhibiting surprising complex patterns. When scale and human
reference is removed, another dimension of forms appears. The world within is much more complex than what we can perceive when only the surface is visible.
