This July a second round of Dry Media was organized for a group of Winnipeg artists who gained access to the University of Manitoba Herbarium – a biorepository of dried, preserved plant specimens for scientific study. After exploring themes of bioart and botanical illustration through the ages, they dove into the plant collection. These artists viewed botanical specimens under microscopes, captured images with a microscope camera or camera lucida.

This collective experience has led to a second body of botanical artwork by the following:
Bev Pike
Heather Komus
Aldo Rios
Carley Friesen
Adele Sinclair
Catherine Macdonald
