Research in the form of art
Dr Nicola Fawcett has created art using a mixture of three common bacteria found in the human gut, and harvested from faecal samples. The gut bacteria are portrayed using organic, biological motifs to invoke the garden allegory of the gut bacteria, similar to the plants we live alongside - sometime friend, sometime adversary. But while striking colours and plant-like shapes creates a kaleidoscopic tree-effect that looks beautiful, it also illustrates the increasing issue or antibiotic resistance.
