NPR: From Microscopes to Large-Scale Sculpture
I can remember watching the movie “Fantastic Voyage” and thinking that this journey would never be truly possible and the folks who designed the sets had incredible imaginations. Enter Kendall Buster. She was inspired by that movie… inspired to a point where she took up the study of microbiology and art.
In today’s Site of the Day, National Public Radio makes the connection between art and science by exploring Kendalls sculptures. There is a great audio file interview with microbiologist-turned-artist Kendall Buster. Buster uses the images she sees through a microscope as inspiration to create her monumental sculptures, which can be walked through and experienced as three-dimensional worlds. Now THAT is truly a fantastic voyage!
