In her series Marie Cameron | Critical Masses, A Very Low Tide (June 17—Oct 23), Los Gatos artist Marie Cameron presents views of human impact on our delicate ecosystem, with a series of 9 pieces that explode with color, dense pattern, and familiar objects colliding with natural elements. For this exhibition Cameron adds 3 new pieces to the growing series that reminds the viewer of the fragile, causal relationships that affect the fate of our shared ecosystems.
Pictured here in “Blue Blood” (2017), Cameron tells the story of the blue blood of prehistoric Horseshoe Crabs, which has the ability to coagulate around bacteria, enabling a crucial step in screening of drugs and surgical implants.
