​MArine Biology in print

Eveline Kolijn - Portfolio Curator

Eleven international printmakers are connected with eleven ocean and marine biology researchers. The artists created a visual response on scientific research. Science and art share the principles of observation and creativity. Hand crafted prints move the technical talk of science into the emotional domain of public discourse.
