A vertically oriented print on white paper features centered blocks of crisp black serif text. The top displays "ANDERSON & LOW" and "METAMORPHOSES" in uppercase. In the lower third, the phrase "This is edition number" sits above a handwritten "1/5" in light gray pencil. Beneath a thin horizontal rule, two fluid, overlapping pencil signatures are scrawled over the printed names of Jonathan R. Anderson and Edwin H.T. Low.

Did You Know?

These 21st century images were inspired by photographs taken through a microscope by nineteenth-century British photographer Frederick Evans.

Description

Evans’s fascination with form and visionary translation of common natural objects resonated with Anderson & Low. They decided to rework images from their Chrysalis series, in which they used digital technology to transform earlier analog architectural views into large-scale, exuberantly patterned, and colored abstract images. In contrast, the Metamorphoses are delicate monochromatic images—intimately scaled salt prints, a complex printing process devised in the mid-1830s.
