Shoshanah Dubiner is fascinated by the world of nature as seen through the lens of the microscope and interpreted with myth and metaphor. Her work combines the scientist’s view of the universe with the poet’s and visionary’s. Her bold colors and energetic forms express enthusiasm for the material world. Since moving from San Francisco to Ashland in 20024, she has shown her at Southern Oregon University’s Hannon Library and Thorndike Gallery, Catalyst Ashland, the Center for Contemporary Culture of Barcelona and the Azkuna Zentroa in Bilbao, Spain. “Endosymbiosis: Homage to Lynn Margulis” has been published in Staying with the Trouble by Donna Haraway, and in Critical Zones, published by ZKM Center for Art and Media. Her Protocells Triptych was on loan at the Norris Center for Natural History at the University of California Santa Cruz. Shoshanah has worked with students in the schools most recently with a developmental biology class at SOU, and taught OLLI classes about patterns in nature. She is now working on a book of her artwork with teaching stories about art and life.
