Since then, Small World has become a leading showcase for photomicrographers from the widest array of scientific disciplines. A photomicrograph is a technical document that can be of great significance to science or industry. But a good photomicrograph is also an image whose structure, color, composition, and content is an object of beauty, open to several levels of comprehension and appreciation.

"Letters, Etcetera"

Letters lend themselves to fine art rendering. The “Recovered Writing” paintings in this show have the look and feel of words and symbols in ancient and medieval scripts—the kind found in and around archeological digs. These ‘uncovered text’ paintings, with their mystery, their intangible, undecipherable, unreadable script, contrast with the clarity and recognizability of alphabet letter paintings in the show. Equally hidden but not so mysterious are letters that serve as design structure for more traditional subjects—e.g., V-shaped figures, S-shaped landscapes.
