About the Book
THE PTEROPOD PROJECT: charismatic microfauna is a 40-page exhibition catalog of Cornelia Kubler Kavanagh’s sculpture inspired by tiny mollusks threatened by rising levels of ocean acidification that the artist has enlarged some 400 times. With photos of all sculptures displayed, along with essays by noted art historian, Stephanie Grilli, and the artist’s collaborator, Dr. Gareth Lawson of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, the catalog celebrates the beauty of these fragile microorganisms while raising consciousness about their potential demise.
