GRANTHAM, Pa. (Jan. 3, 2012) — The delicate, empyreal constructions of artist Therese Zemlin will be on exhibit at the Aughinbaugh Art Gallery at Messiah College from Jan. 23 until March 9 in a show titled “Iterations and the Chambered Nautilus.” The show appropriates 19^th century scientific illustrations of single-celled organisms and the Japanese manufacturing technique for making collapsible gifu lanterns.
