New Work in Space
Elaine is launching her new series in March 2010. Entitled 'Micro Mundi' (Small Worlds), it examines how the smallest of things (snail trails) are connected with the largest.
On November 16th an image was launched into space on Shuttle Atlantis. This came about as a collaboration with Astronaut Leland Melvin, who was so taken with the ideas in the work, that he offered to carry an image on the mission and photograph it in a window of The International Space Station. Above is Elaine's picture in the The Destiny Lab photographed by Leland to connect with the Earth. For more details about the work see the Portfolio Section.
