| Fractal art by Sylvia C., here. |
It's ridiculous how in tune we Blackbird girls are with each other. Sometimes it gets a little spooky. I got the image to the left in an email newsletter from
Patternbank. It's digital, fractal art by Sylvia C. that looks like magnified bacteria/fungi/icky junk. I thought Ms. Blackbird, the Biology edition (i.e. not me, the other one), would dig it. So I emailed it to her. She then sent me this beautiful image of real bacteria under stress:
Turns out she'd been looking at images of real magnified biology
thingies already. Needless to say, it's escalated since then, and we've been looking at magnified bacteria (among other things) a lot lately. Turns out, we're not the only ones inspired by bacteria. Surprise, surprise!
I've found lots of artists that have been recently
inspired by magnified bacteria. Here's a quick selection:
 |
| Bacteria art using pasta and bamboo skewers, Sinead Foley |
 |
| Balloon bacteria, Jason Hackenwerth |
 |
| Bacteria watercolor, Sarah Roberts |
 |
| Clothing and accessories using real bacteria, Sarine Zakin |
 |
| Designer Iris van Herpen, 2013 |
 |
| SAYMYNAME, 2013, Pathovar (bacterial strain) collection |
