The series Bramante's Tiny Temple (right) uses plans for the classic Tempietto to arrange an assortment of bee flies and flowers. Bramante was the Renaissance architect who understood ancient architecture best; his Tempietto is a statement in miniature of the principles of Roman design. Filling it with insects makes the Tempietto seem even tinier. The four prints include elaborations on plans for the basement, ceiling, main floor and dome.

Based on a Renaissance church plan of the same grand scale as Roman temples, Temple of Venus is filled with luminous house centipedes and a Roman winged figure, a messenger from the gods. Insects are winged emissaries from another world, too, as elegant in their way as the Roman variety.

While not strictly architectural plans, tantric diagrams function as maps of the cosmos. The tantra series, Rose Tantra, Black Rose Tantra, Big Bang (Fire) and Big Bang (Ice) are all Iris prints on handmade Japanese paper. They are about the beginning and the end of the universe, and equate images from very near (the rose) and very far (the sun). Tiny insects grouped together make an all-encompassing network of relationships.

Named after the Very Large Array observatory in New Mexico, this print is about organizing information, and includes drawings of a cricket, a moth, a cicada and a katydid, arranged in a grid around a repeating meander mosaic.
