I Spy

How many facets shape the eye of a fly? Hint: 750. Study the papery gills on a mushroom or the palatial structures of anthills. Our natural world is a monument to wonder and, as artists, we are called to see, to explore, to present these everyday epiphanies as a moment of refuge and delight for an overloaded and often blinded world. Show us what you see!
We invite your participation in any medium: both 2-D and 3-D are welcome. There are no size restrictions; however, space will be a consideration. All U.S. artists are welcome to apply.
