Overview:

"As a filmmaker, I spend many hours examining the world through a lens. When asked to reflect on the collections at the Huntington, I was instantly drawn to the 1665 edition of Micrographia, a seminal work of observations made with the aid of a microscope by the great natural philosopher Robert Hooke. As I subsequently wandered the gardens and collections I searched for resonances in texture and form, seeking out plants and objects that suggested the exquisite delicacy of the engraved illustrations in Micrographia." (Charlotte Pryce).
