Emerge and Unfurl
Photography by Ilze Arajs
February 8 - May 11, 2014
The Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum
As the new cycle of life emerges from dormancy in early Spring, artist Ilze Arajs photographs the tender uncoiling of fern fiddleheads. These close-up images, greatly enlarged, breathe new life into this ancient symbol of renewal, and invite us to feel our personal potential and vitality about to unfurl!
