Sand Under a Microscope

The secrets of nature are visible everywhere. Yet, they remain secrets until they are revealed. Greenberg has been using his special microscopes to create spectacular landscapes of worlds beyond our everyday perception – worlds where reality is seen as abstract form and color, motion and texture.

For Greenberg, art is a doorway through which we can more deeply embrace nature. His mission is to reveal the secret beauty of the microscopic landscape that makes up our everyday world.

About

I design video games for a living, write fiction, political theory and poetry for personal amusement, and train regularly in Western European 16th century swordwork. On frequent occasion I have been known to hunt for and explore abandoned graveyards, train tunnels and other interesting places wherever I may find them, but there is absolutely no truth to the rumor that I am preparing to set off a zombie apocalypse. Nothing that will stand up in court, at least. I use paranthesis with distressing frequency, have a deep passion for history, anthropology and sociological theory, and really, really, really hate mayonnaise. But I wash my hands after the writing. Promise.
