Spinless Wonders: Rising from the Deep

Featuring the photography of Susan Middleton

Displayed at Bishop Museum

There is one unifying result that both art and research provide: revealing knowledge. For the artist, the revelation is beauty and wonder. For the researcher, the revelation is intellectual, informing an understanding of the things that cause wonder. Through the photography of Susan Middleton, we aim to give the patron a glimpse of this wonder rarely seen with such clarity. Supplementing her work, our specimen collections will place her photography in a larger conversation: the process of bringing knowledge – both wonder and understanding - up from the deep.
