Turns out they were made by Generator’s Operations Director, Elliott Katz!
From Elliott:
“These were for a public art installation commissioned by the University of Maine Farmington’s Life Science department. They invited me to make the pieces and I collaborated with their SEM (scanning electronic microscope) technician to capture the microscopic structure of the four most prominent tree species in Maine: Jack Pine, White Spruce, Black Spruce and Balsam Fir. I brought samples to their lab and we imaged the physical structure @ 350x. I transferred the imagery into vector tool paths and water jet cut offsite.”
