Art is critical to the advancement of science, it's arguable that either would perish without the other. The arts and sciences must both strive to fundamentally affect the way we communicate and express ourselves. The ability to communicate the beauty and importance of science often depends upon both the determination of scientists to reach out, and the capacity of artists to portray the deeper currents through their own mediums and in their own voices. These textile art pieces are inspired by the work of Dr. Sabine Stanley and are a wonderful vehicle to communicate her work in science and inspire people to seek to understand the processes that happen inside the Earth and other planets.'Fierce Planets' published by Studio Art Quilt Associates, Inc., softcover with 92 pages.
