Jody Rasch (born in New York City in 1956) is a contemporary artist working in the art/sci movement.[1] Rasch's work explores the modern world through the lens of science images.[2][1] For example, Rasch uses images from electron microscopes to show the beauty of deadly diseases such as HIV and cancer cells.[3] On the macro scale, Rasch uses images of galaxies, the cosmic background radiation to examine our place in the universe.[4] On the sub-atomic level, Rasch uses images from particle accelerators.[1] Generally, images of our galaxy and space are represented on a much smaller scale and images of the microscopic are represented in a much larger scale.[5] He uses a variety of media that includes acrylic and oil paint, colored pencil and pen and ink to make his work.[1]
