These glass sculptures are created from upcycling a variety of glass tubing offcuts through glass fusing and slumping techniques. They inspired by microscopic imagery , direct observations of cell culturing in research labs and the powerful tools used by reserachers to transform skin cells into functioning braincells.
They are illuminated by specially programmed LEDs lights to evoke patterns of cell activity and communication. Light pattern programmes created by Robin Bussell. Photos : Charlie Murphy
