The Universe Within Us is a book of 54 original paintings by Tina York, based on scanning electron micrographs (photographs taken through a scanning electron microscope -- images enlarged up to 70,000 times) of all systems of the human body. It relates the microcosm that is us, to the macrocosm of the universe.
This is also a book of realism and abstraction -- of fact and fantasy. It relates many anatomical structures and physiological processes to the universe outside of us. Although abstraction is often difficult to understand, here it is clearly presented. In various degrees each painting shows its realistic roots and its departure into fantasy.
