CELLS AND TEST TUBE PLATES




 


I made the sketch on the left thinking about the blocks or plates of test tubes used in "Lab Land" and the computer displays showing results with colour indicating density. I used watercolour pencils to fill in the dots, so then in order to give them a sense of movement and life I painted over them with water so that the colours would bleed.
I have been crocheting a cell in yellow nylon fishing line with a crocheted nucleus made of red fuse wire (you might be able to spot it in the image on the right.)


Here are some drawings I have been doing in my sketchbook thinking about brain cells, mitosis, and all things microscopic.
