Abstract
The English draftswoman and printmaker Johanna Love has been undertaking artistic “journeys of discovery” for several years in order to fathom the material and immaterial potential of dust. The starting point of the exhibition are tiny samples of the so-called reliquary dust from the older "Bentlager Reliquary Garden" from 1499, which the artist had examined under an electron microscope at the Museum for Natural History, London.
MORE ABOUT THE ARTIST
“I turn to science to generate an image, a particular view of the world, and otherwise inaccessible information; but I then use the practice of material art to include things that are beyond the reach of science, things that science can't relate to: the emotional, irrational, imaginative, and historical ways in which we live.” Johanna Love
