General Notes

Note

Identical twin brothers Doug and Mike Starn collaborate and produce work as a team out of their studio in Beacon, New York. Perhaps best known for their monumental bamboo structure atop the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 2010, their work has explored themes of nature, light and impermanence. This work comes out of a series entitled alleverythingthatisyou, which captures snow crystals through photomicrographs. With their ragged edges, missing parts and unique crystal structure, each snowflake is remarkable and poignant.
