These works have been inspired by a trip to Tonga, swimming with humpback whales. This current series of works is entitled ‘Plankton’. In these works, she seeks to make the minuscule, visible. By shining a light on the aesthetic beauty in the unseen life forms that underpin our existence, she hopes to reinforce our interconnectedness and reliance on the microscopic world.

Diaptomus is a genus of copepods with a single eye spot. It is superficially similar in size and appearance to Cyclops. However it has characteristically very long first antennae that exceed the body length.
