SUMMARY:Exhibit: Malaika Ross\, "The Soil Beneath Us"
DESCRIPTION:Malaika Ross\, a Caribbean American artist\, earned her B.A. 
 with a focus in soil microbiology from Hampshire College. She went on to 
 study painting and drawing at the Rhode Island School of Design\, San 
 Francisco Art Institute\, and the Marchutz School of Fine Arts. 
 Additionally\, she completed intensive coursework in sustainable farming\, 
 ecological restoration\, and Hawaiian ethnobotany at the University of 
 Hawai’i\, Hilo.\n\nThe exhibit features Ross's unconventional mixed media 
 drawings and collages exploring ecological concepts based in the 
 rhizosphere. She collages various microscope images of one type of soil 
 microbe\, then uses graphite\, pencil\, and ink to draw the collage and 
 explore the shapes and patterns created as microbes merge\, resulting in an 
 abstracted soil landscape.
