Contaminated Plates… Trilobite Glassworks

Posted on February 12, 2014 by quantumphysica

Trilobite Glassworks is the name of glass artist Jane Hartman’s Etsy shop. She sells a wide range of biology-themed items, from stained glass panels shaped like prehistoric lifeforms (trilobites, among others) to fused glass plates decorated with all kind of infections. It’s those last that I have chosen to feature today, but if you’re a biologist, or otherwise interested in all things biology, the whole of her shop is worth a look…

Her so-called “critter dishes” feature unpleasant organisms such as the Dengue fever and HIV virus, Staphylococcus Aureus, and Trypanosoma… which all turn out to be surprisingly attractive on a microscopic scale. A key- or soap dish, anyone?

Find Jane Hartman on Etsy (http://www.etsy.com/shop/trilobiteglassworks) to purchase her latest work, and on DeviantArt (http://trilobiteglassworks.deviantart.com) to view some of her older pieces…

About quantumphysica

My name is QuantumPhysica The Insane, but you can call me QP. I am insane, admitted to a mental hospital in Belgium, and waiting for a decent diagnosis at the moment. Once I was a physics student with goals in life and what more; now I'm simply the patient of Room 93. Ever wondered what life is like in the psychiatric ward? I'll tell you everything you ever wanted to know... I am... particularly twitchy of personality. But I also am genuinely interested in everything. There is nothing that doesn't interest me, really. Everything, from quantum computers to fashion and cars to traveling... I also give advice. On anything. No taboos whatsoever. And I make lists of things...
