This solo exhibit by Wellfleet artist Terry Gips features highly enlarged prints of seaweed, roots, and other natural forms in prints ranging from 3 to 8 feet in each direction. The works are created by directly scanning tiny segments of plants and enlarging them so that every delicate root hair, stem, frond, grain of sand, or filament of entangled fish line is revealed.
