“Yeast Fields” shows a micro-agricultural landscape layering growing yeast cells over fields in the Czech Republic.  The study is based on the collaborative work in the microbiology lab of Dr. Natalie Kuldell at MIT with artist Lucy HG Solomon.  The team reconsiders geography and agriculture by eliminating scale as a defining characteristic, so that fields of yeast and grain become equivocal in a pastoral scene of the layered fields.
