"Natural History Psychedelia" by Alexis Rockman

Thanks to my colleague Ilene who brought me a magazine clipping of the following article:

Ilene, an artist herself, shared this article with me because a) these images are made with gouache on black paper; and b) Alexis Rockman's work demonstrates his interest in natural history.
