Rob Kesseler

My dear friend Rob Kesseler, author of the beautiful images that I present here , has inspired several of our students in the past couple of years.

 Recently, one of our  year 11 students looked at Rob's work and felt inspired to look through her small microscope at home. With some help, she was able to capture some great images from slides of a stem. She worked on the images using photoshop to improve colour and contrast and then painted them on a cast of a cut section of a tree trunk.

 

 

When I sent these to Rob he was impressed and said:

 

"It makes me really proud to see things like this, to inspire young people is a privilege that means more than hanging on the walls of the Saatchi Gallery. "
