Griffin Museum: 226th Anna Atkins Birthday Exhibition

  • Google Calendar ICS

My work ‘I am Golden Kelp’ has been selected for this exhibition. To honor Anna Atkins‘ pioneering contributions at the intersection of art, science, and education. The Griffin Museum of Photography and LENSCRATCH Fine Art Photography Daily have co-organized an online exhibition. Rooted in Atkins’ fascination with botany and the natural world, this exhibition reflects her era-defining spirit of inquiry and deep curiosity for nature.

The 20 works selected for the exhibition pay homage to Atkins’ botanical studies and her artistic exploration of the natural world. Curated by Vicente Cayuela.
