I picked up a virus while at the Synergy conference, so I’m laying low and studying Luke Jerram’s glass sculptures of deadly viruses which explore the “tension between the artworks’ beauty, what they represent and their impact on humanity.”

Hi Susan,
I hope you don’t have one of the viruses that you just showed us…I think they would hurt! I hope you feel better soon and that your trip home was easier than the trip here. Get well soon, Kelly
I forgot to write that Jerram’s pieces are incredible! Kelly
Just an FYI: E. coli is a bacterium, not a virus. Much, much larger than viruses.
It was a pleasure meeting you in Dan’s class.
I am sorry to hear that you are not feeling well after you trip, hope you will be better soon.
Thank you so much for you site. I enjoy it every morning with my coffee. It is an inspiring way to start the day.

The artistic eye and mind finds beauty everywhere – even in the midst of what the world labels as tragic and evil. Surely there is a life lesson or allegory in here somewhere.
And perhaps this ability to see beauty even in the ugly and mundane is yet one more reason to support and celebrate the arts – and artists.
Thanks, Susan. And best wishes for quickly experiencing this “beauty” and getting on to the next step on your journey.
