Description
Android users - pinch and zoom does not work. The zoomed image does not sharpen. You have to click and get the full resolution FAA pixels provides to see the image sharpness of the file.
Original is roughly 8.5 by 11 inches. Hand drawn archival ink on acid free paper.
Bacteriophage ballet takes the ideas that would go into a diagram about viruses invading a bacterium, and abstracts them to create a fantasy landscape of dancing phages.
Bacteriophages can be seen spinning in the viscous complex and perhaps partially ordered substances near the cell membrane. Other phages land and inject double helices of DNA. In the lower half of the drawing the hijacked cellular machinery manufactures an assembly line of little phages. Cellular structures and organelles are loosely represented, including the proteins and amphiphiles in the cellular membrane
Bacteriophage would make a good art gift or engaging office, lab, or home office art for someone educated or working in Virology, Microbiology, soft matter, or Biology in general. It might also appeal to people interested in bionanotechnology, DNA and Molecular Biology, and Viruses in general. Biology and Medicine and high resolution imaging are also good matches.
