Paper bacterium part of microbiome exhibition

With funding from the Wellcome Trust, the Eden Project has commissioned artists to bring the invisible world of bacteria to life. Many of them are collaborating with scientists and are busy creating an amazing collection of artwork, installations and interactive pieces, ranging from a sound piece based on DNA, to sculptures and textiles exploring the patterns of bacteria, to a series of portraits depicting bacteria found within the umbilicus.

One of the artists, Rogan Brown, recently completed a new cut paper sculpture titled ‘Cut Microbe’. The fragile piece took four months to complete and is a continuation of Brown’s exploration of the human biome. Brown's work "plays with the architecture of nature and organic growth by identifying patterns and motifs that occur in the natural world in different contexts and at different scales, both macroscopic and microscopic."
