Copper and Aqua Bryozoa Moostiere

This glass vessel is part of a series of objects exploring the drawings of Ernst Haeckel, which Marc transformed into blown glass vessels. As an artist as well as a scientist, Haeckel studied colour, pattern and form in much the same way that he studied marine creatures. Marc examined these qualities deeply in an effort to further emphasise the power of colour, pattern and form in nature. These glass objects reflect on and examine nature; they don't merely imitate it.
