Exhibit: "Seeds of Time" In-Person
Opening Reception:
Sunday, March 1, 2026, 3-5 p.m.
This exhibition, Seeds of Time, explores the microscopic world of seeds and what they can teach us about ecology, anatomy, agriculture, and evolution. The images, taken through macrophotography and scanning electron microscopy, highlight the complex evolutionary history of seeds and the role of seed anatomy in the propagation of plants. The diversity of shapes, sizes, and textures of seeds enables us to identify them, even when burned and buried thousands of years ago, allowing archaeologists to draw insights into the complex relationships between people and plants in the past.
