Salt Point Press: "'Copepodilia Collectanea' presents an imaginary menagerie of copepods - minuscule aquatic crustaceans - created using seaweed pressings. High resolution pigment prints of the pressings retain the textures and dimensionality of the original pressings. "Text by Melanie Stiassny, ichthyologist at the American Museum of Natural History, introduces the fundamentals of copepod life." Gail Wight: "While reading Melanie Stiassny's gorgeous book Opulent Oceans, I came to the chapter titled ' The Golden age of Copepodology' and my mind was set ablaze.
With just a few facts in hand - they have little swimmy appendages for movement, sometimes egg sacs, and often tiny antennae - I decided to draw my own imaginary menagerie of copepods, using seaweed as my medium.
