Strauss is an artist and a scientist, whose work in the lab has made her deeply aware of the fragility, beauty, and precariousness of life at all levels. This exhibition of illustrations and linoleum cut prints displays species under assault by disease, human over-harvesting or naturally occurring death, through her delicate pencil work and bright linocut prints on rice paper.
