Help me find this artist! Electronic parts arranged like botanical prints.

A few years ago I saw a series of photographs that I've been unable to find again. From a distance they looked like very carefully arranged botanical prints, almost Ernst Haeckel-like, but they were actually constructed from photographed and (I assume) photoshopped images of various electronics parts, USB cables and mice and that sort of thing.

I thought I may have seen them at the MFA in Boston, but searching their collection and past exhibitions didn't yield anything that seemed right, so now I'm not sure. I can't seem to construct a Google search that finds much, either.

Any ideas, or other good places to look? Online images would be awesome, but I have access to an art school library, so just a name to investigate would probably be enough.

Stephanie Syjuco? Here is her website, and here are a couple of the prints I'm thinking of - scroll down to the bottom.

Not what you're looking for but it reminded me of this. Maybe some of the names in the article could be starting points for a search.

You know, like what iconomy said.

SS calls them Comparative Morphologies on her site, if she's the one you're after.

You beat me to the answer because I had to walk down the hall to see who did them. If you're in the SF Bay Area, some of the prints are on display in the QB3 building at UCSF's Mission Bay Campus

The Comparative Morphologies prints are definitely what I was looking for, yay.
Thanks!
