Specimens: Two Image Gallery
This collection was created by Phillip Hopper, Professor of Communication and Media, at the University of Northern Iowa.
The Specimens project has always been about making the unseen or the difficult to see visible. The transformation of natural forms, especially at the beginning and end of life is also a theme. Seed pods and egg casings hold nascent plants and animals. Wildflowers dry and leave skeletal structures. Finally the project is a kind of eulogy for latent image analog photography where negatives and positives were the key to reproduction. A set of two images were created for each specimen.
