I attended the Leslie Shows Lecture on Feb 6th 2009. Leslie Shows's work is exhibited in the San Franscisco and the Bay Area. Leslie Shows works with micro and macro detailing by doing extensive yet sophisticate collaging but still maintaining a sense of subtleness throughout her work. She is also drawn to minerals especially salt and uses techniques and a variety of material to imitate the seperation and compostion of minerals. She mainly paints/collages obscure landscapes with rollercoasters diving into black holes; along with mountains that show significate separations in the rock. Although her pieces are large and may seem abstract, she still pays great detail in her seamless collaging work in which she shapes the landscape. Seeing her work through photo does it no justice, to truly experience her artwork you have to see it in all its grand detail in person.
Here is an example of her work:
