Artist Creates Intricate Paper Art of Microbes and Pathogens

Combining science and art, intricate paper sculptures take the shape of microbes, pathogens, and nature’s wonders under the meticulous hands of Rogan Brown. The English artist easily spends several months completing a sculpture using a scalpel and with the aid of a laser at other times. Magnifying an organism from a cellular level to millions of times its size, Brown fills in the necessary details with scientific accuracy and painstaking attention to detail.
