As a physician, Star Trek fan, and art lover, I cannot imagine a more perfect tessellation of science, art, and historical perspective (ranging from Mona Lisa to Leonard Nimoy). Devorah Sperber does not simply create art, she manifests in tangible form her boundless enthusiasm for the interconnecteness of the universe. A spool of thread leads to the retina, to the occipital cortex, to higher association centers of the neocortex—and just looks pretty to boot. How cool is that?
Fantastic! Devorah has given us an art that goes beyond the normal medium. From conception to realization, her work keeps us in awe!
Great segment! Wonderful to see the process in action. Lots of surprises and humor, too. Bravo!
