 About/Contact the Artist |
The New York Hall of Science will display a selection of work where the microscopic and molecular have been enlarged many thousands of times and fused with elements of our culture. Cell division meets mythology, sensory cells become fabric design, and molecular movement becomes the premise for a dance in the series selected for this show.
Julie Newdoll believes that biological systems and ancient cultures, their myths, and legends, have evolved in similar ways; that they reflect each other, and speak from our deepest roots. Inspired by nature on a small scale, she incorporates the delicate images captured with a microscope in many of her compositions. Others pieces use human figures to represent the tiniest structures found within our bodies. Her work explores the smallest subjects of science using large scale ideas, in keeping with the huge importance these subjects have for us at many levels.
Come and meet her at the reception Saturday, October 22, 2:00 - 4:00.

Short bio here.
 Spindles of Necessity The goddess of cell division uses her spinning wheel to guide the events which cause a mother cell to split into two daughter cells. |
 Life Forms Human figures engaged in a "dance of the molecules", pushing, pulling, and interacting with each other like the tiny building blocks that make up the structures critical to our being. |
 Kimonos of the Senses for a Japanese Tea Ceremony The Japanese Tea Ceremony emphasizes the use of all of the senses for the people participating. Five paintings of kimonos, one for each sense, use seductive imagery from the cells and organs which receive each sense in their design. |
 Nanotechnology What seemed like imaginative congecture in the early 1990's may occur in our lifetime. These paintings on the science of building machines out of atoms, called "Nanotechnology", incorporate the first types of structures built as a proof of concept that it could be done. |
