Microscopic slides = masterpieces.
Bioartography is a joint venture by scientists and artists across the University of Michigan campus. This program identifies the artistic nature of scientific studies and illuminates them through a microscopic lens. A panel of artists and scientists contribute their perspectives, and the profits of these sales fund scientific research. Some of these creations have even been adapted and pieced together as quilts by the Healing Quilts in Medicine program. By far, an art fair favorite.
Inspired by Bioartography, I created this collage.

A collection of tissue slides in the shape of a heart, although ironically not of the heart.
This is so cool! I was just telling my boss today that we should submit some of our slide images as artwork!
You definitely should, it’s such a great collaboration initiative!
