The natural interaction of aquatic sediment
Title: The natural interaction of aquatic sediment

Contact: Mieke Roth

Description: I am working on a series of large illustrations for a Dutch governmental institution that is in charge of the maintenance of the waterways in the west of the Netherlands. Over the next 10 years a large project is being conducted in which most of these waterways are deepened. This detailed illustration is a part the second large illustration of the series, incorporated in several newsletters for the general public. The aim is to inform and to get the public involved in the decision process. This specific illustration is explaining why, if a waterway is at the right depth, one shouldn't try to stop the accumulation of sediment at the bottom of the waterway. As are all the illustrations in this series, this is again a typical Dutch landscape.

Contact: Mary O'Reilly

Description: This illustration was created to accompany a highlight in the Scripps Research Institute News&Views that reported on a finding by Martin Friedlander and colleagues. Adult skin cells may be induced to become stem cells, and then get coaxed into becoming retinal pigmented epithelial cells. The hope is that these cells may then be used for transplantation in the treatment of age-related macular degeneration.
The influence of pollution on the environment
Title: The influence of pollution on the environment

Contact: Mieke Roth

Description: I am working on a series of large illustrations for a Dutch governmental institution that is in charge of the maintenance of the waterways in the west of the Netherlands. Over the next 10 years a large project is being conducted in which most of these waterways are deepened. This detailed illustration is a part the second large illustration of the series, incorporated in several newsletters for the general public. The aim is to inform and to get the public involved in the decision process. This specific illustration is about what kind of influences normal activities, like spraying the crops, can have on the quality of the ground. This type of activity is accepted, in spite of fact that the same quality sediment from the bottom of a waterway normally results in panic and strict measures to safeguard it from the environment. As are all the illustrations in this series, this is again a typical Dutch landscape.
