Public Art for Magnifying Minds
CSENND, Wonderlab, and the Bloomington Art Commission have joined forces to boost STEM involvement and successfully introduce the concept of the nanoworld to children of diverse age groups.
Artist’s statement
Erin Tobey, the artist
“I propose a mural that shows a journey through the microscope to explore inside plants and how cellulose nanocrystals can be turned into useful technologies to enrich human and environmental health………… I’m excited about this project as an artist who loves the challenge of communicating big or complicated ideas in an accessible way. …….”
