"
Glass Microbiology" by
Luke Jerram, and incredible colorblind artist, consist of blown and shaped glass sculptures in the form of viruses and bacteria. They are vaguely -- very vaguely -- reminiscent for me of the incredible glass flower collection at Harvard created at the end of the 19th century to aid in the study of botany.
Jarem, by the way, has a substantial body of other beautiful and thoughtful
sculptural and
glass work. Here's a few examples of his glass microbiology work (more below break) or by clicking on any picture):
 |
| E. coli |
 |
| Hand foot and mouth virus |
 |
| Malaria |
 |
| HIV |
 |
| Swine flu |
 |
| Bacteriophage |
