Artist Luke Jerram reproduces bacteria and viruses like Swine Flu, HIV and E-coli in glass. Named ‘Viral Sculptures’, Jerram created some of the world's most deadly viruses and bacteria in glass. His sculptures and photographs of the viruses - including Smallpox, HIV, E-Coli, H1N1 (Swine Flu) and SARS are designed to contemplate the global impact and history of disease. The works were created to interrogate our perceptions of how viruses are depicted by science and the media. This overall effect is what I hope to achieve with my prints of viruses and bacteria, making a overall replusive thing look appealing but still look like a deadly disease.
