Epidermis Definition...

I love the way this definition for what Epidermis represents in Botany...

a thin layer of cells forming the outer integument of seed plants and ferns...it sounds beautiful!

so intricate and multilayered...

EPIDERMIS

This is my last piece. It was meant to be completely different, I made circle after circle of detailed work, like a scientist in a laboratory...but just couldn't get myself to wrap the idea...

So, I ended up just focusing on one of my elements...one circle, one Cell...one organism...

I started to add some textile dimension to the piece, by stitching on it, crocheting and adding more layers to it...

I finished the piece by inserting it in a box frame and working on the actual frame to create a sense of depth and an illusion of movement...my two eternal obsessions...

I decided to call it...Epidermis...it reminds me of some of the "tissues" I used to observe under a microscope when I was studying dentistry, back in the day...they all had this pinkish shade and looked incredibly intricate and detailed...nothing particular sticks out except for that.

This is the first piece of a series so I will call it: Epidermis I...

So...here it is...
