Cross Pollination - shibori

"Cross Pollination" by Michelle Griffiths

Mixed media. 2m x 2m installation

The title of this piece refers to the many influences which have inspired my own personal shibori vocabulary; from studying with, and observing the shibori artisans of Arimatsu, to the fabulous pollen images generated with an electron microscope, generously loaned to me by the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, and the Danforth Plant Science Center, Missouri, USA.
