Glass Microbiology


Luke Jerram turns the world’s deadliest diseases into works of art. The British artist’s glass sculptures — which go on display in London in January — depict old standbys (smallpox, E. coli), flashes in the pan (avian flu, SARS), and scourges of the day (H1N1, shown, and HIV). His goal: to explore the tension between the viruses’ devastating beauty and their devastating impact on humanity.
