Romanian-born printmaker Ana Golici first visited the Printmaking Workshop in 1988. Impressed with her lithographs, Blackburn showed her a selection of large stones and invited her to choose one and get to work. At this time, she was also rapidly absorbing information through books on art, science, photography, and nature. In 1999, Golici gained access to a scanning electron microscope, which allowed her to photograph the surface of a flea enlarged 750 times. The surreal landscape in Flea (one in a series) brings the viewer nearer the molecular level of a vast universe.
