This exhibition by Karl Gaff takes you on a visual odyssey to explore the richness, complexity and the sheer beauty of places far beyond the limits of human vision. To create the eclectic visual imagery on show, a sophisticated machine called a scanning electron microscope was employed. The SEM allows us to enter the micro to nanoscopic realms of nature and conduct a type of photography called ‘micrography’. Delve down six orders of magnitude and explore treacherous mountain ranges on a single grain of pollen, probe the steep valleys, ridges and rolling hills on the petal of a flower, venture through jungles of high rising spikes emerging from the surface of a leaf, and much more!
