Apoptosis<\/em> is a Greek word used in embryology to name the moment when cells must die to continue the process of body formation. Similarly, in the forest, large trees die, allowing regeneration, growth, and the emergence of more life. Art and science seek to understand and give meaning to the necessary balance between life and death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition consists of a journey through the artistic work exercises that Luis has carried out during his stay at the College of Forestry<\/a> thanks to the invitation of Dr. Seri Robinson. The set of works is made up of turned woods, spalted woods, drawings, sculptures, photographs and videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The woodturning and laboratory work was supported by Dr. Seri Robinson. The project at Andrews Forest was an invitation from Dr. Frederick Swanson and the experience with art students at Cape Perpetua was an invitation from professors and artists Michael Boonstra and Andy Myers with the School of Visual, Performing and Design Arts<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
