Luke Jerram’s spectacular glass sculptures of viruses

About the Glasswork
The sculptures are designed in consultation with virologists from the University of Bristol, using a combination of different scientific photographs and models. They are made in collaboration with glassblowers Kim George, Brian Jones and Norman Veitch.

The glass sculptures were created to contemplate the global impact of each disease and to consider how the artificial colouring of scientific imagery affects our understanding of these phenomena. Jerram is exploring the tension between the artworks’ beauty, what they represent and their impact on humanity.

That’s so much cooler than those little disease stuffed things they sell at the museum of science.
