Artist and naturalist Christopher Marley, whose exhibit “Exquisite Creatures“ is featured at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art. It is a display of animal, mineral and plant specimens arranged in precise, geometric compositions.

It's really unlike anything you've ever seen. Features editor April Wallace explores the exhibit in an in depth interview with artist Christopher Marley in Sunday's WhatsUp section. We got a chance earlier to visit with Marley for a few minutes as he was traveling and ask him to describe his exhibit and his art for the benefit of people who haven't seen his work yet.
