V&A Illustration Awards

I am very happy to have been awarded Student Runner Up in the V&A Illustration Awards 2011. My 'Bacteria' series of etchings is on display at the V&A Museum until December, alongside works by Mike Redmond, Laura Carlin and Olivier Kugler. So exciting!

Bacteria series

This is a set of three etchings I did in March. Each one is a different microscopic image of bacteria - cholera, plague, and pneumonia - made up of bodies. Bacteria are far, far older than humans in evolutionary terms. We're relative babies. These etchings show the human species tangled up with illnesses from our short history.
