Some of the places I have travelled to in pursuit of extreme experiences have also been some of the most beautiful, often in harsh climatic climatic conditions, often very dry. The ability of plants to survive in these conditions has always been surprising, and the plants themselves fantastic, often spiky, rubbery or smooth on the outside. These vector visualisations from light micrographs show an unseen view of the inside of some of these plants and remind me of the fantastic images I used to have to draw from transmitted light microscope views of rock and mineral slide samples in geology lessons.
The poster was designed for the University of Wales BA (Hons) Graphic Design Alumni exhibition organised and curated by Paul Morris to celebrate the sad closure of one of the longest established (42 years) and most successful and popular programmes at the University.
