The art of survival at its most basic?



The indestructible flea with huge blood sucking mandibles and armoured body.

Actually this is a photomicrograph of debris trapped in a specimen slide. Below, part scientist/part artist Jeni Wightman has created a series of larger swamp-specimen-slides-as-canvas called Winogradsky Rothkos. These show the reactions of gases and other waste products of living cultures sandwiched in two planes of glass then framed as art.
