It’s getting to be that time of year again when snow crystals flurry through the sky and fill the streets. Have you ever taken a moment to look at a snowflake closely? Well, if you haven’t, do it – they are so incredibly intricate and beautiful. One of the first known individuals to document snowflakes was […]
Texas-based artist Margaret Craig transforms ocean reef trash from around the world into life-like sculptures. Science has been a huge spring board for Margaret Craig’s work. In her approach, she explores both positive and negative impacts of ocean trash. She reminds us that nature is always an opportunist. Her plastics become food for thought and not […]
Header Image: Josef Reischig For me, December is sort of analogous to cellular division. Just like the process of creating new cells, it is a time for generating new ideas. While I am always working on all things E-Squared, I do receive a small gift, a short break from writing or editing images for the current issue. So, you may wonder, what do I do […]

Jansen’s Strandbeests are sculptures but they aren’t just any sculptures…they are kinetic sculptures […]

You probably don’t hear that everyday since you’re not running around in herpetology circles, but I have been working on creating The Turtles of Rhode Island, an educational poster for the Roger Williams Park Zoo. My project isn’t […]
Photo Credits: Peabody Essex Museum: pem.org This Saturday, I invited my friends to join me at the Peabody Essex Museum to experience an installation by modern French artist Céleste Boursier-Mougenot. The exhibit, From Hear to Ear, fuses two spheres – both the auditory + visual by producing sound created by a flock of live birds that are introduced into an acoustic environment. That is, […]
Photo Credit: E. Dustman This weekend, I had the privilege of attending a botanical illustration workshop hosted by Rhode Island School of Design. The work shop was instructed by Dr. Dick Rauh and while I learned a lot about his artistic process (which often goes unshared and is lost), what interested me more was his life trajectory.
